    Study Notes

    Types of Counselling

    • Crisis Counselling: involves immediate attention to help individuals cope with intense emotional situations, such as family death, divorce, or job loss, to prevent further personality or behavioural deterioration.
    • Facilitative or Remedial Counselling: focuses on measurable weaknesses and tries to remediate them, aiming to achieve "client action on a clarified concern" without a crisis.
    • Preventive Counselling: anticipates generic problems and tries to prevent them from happening, often through programmatic and directed attention to specific concerns, such as drug awareness and sex education.

    Guidance Principles

    • Guidance is a team effort, involving various professionals, including teachers, psychologists, and social workers, to meet the diverse needs of individuals.
    • Decision making is essential in guidance, with the provision of information and alternatives to help individuals make informed choices and achieve their goals.
