A. Describe the individual as a client of counseling. Give three instances when an
individual would benefit from counseling
- Individual counseling is a one-on-one discussion between the counselor
and the client, who is the person seeking treatment. It can help one deal
with many personal topics in life such as anger, depression, anxiety,
substance abuse, marriage and relationship challenges, parenting
problems, school difficulties, career changes, etc.
B. Describe the group and organization as client of counseling. Give three
instances when a group or an organization would benefit from counseling.
- Group counseling is a form of counseling where a small group of people
meet regularly to discuss, interact, and explore problems with each other
and the group leader. Group counseling seeks to give students a safe and
comfortable place on campus where they can work out problems and
emotional concerns. Other members of the group often help you come up
with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge and
 hold you accountable along the way. Regularly talking and listening to
others also helps you put your own problems in perspective.
C. Describe the community as a client of counseling. Give three instances when a
community would benefit from counseling.
- The field of Community Counseling is broad and diverse, applying
principles of both counseling and social work in a community setting.
Effective community counseling involves helping clients work through their
mental health concerns, while also helping to prevent those concerns from
proliferating in the community.

II. Check your understanding

Describe the counseling process in the following settings
1. Government
- Counseling settings vary widely but the processes, methods, and tools
used by counselors are very similar. Counseling professionals in
government setting work with the various government agencies that have
counseling services such as social welfare, correctional department, the
court system, child and women affairs services, schools, military, police,
hospitals, mental and foster homes, and rehabilitation centers. Sometimes,
other specialized departments also have units of counselors such as
intelligence-gathering departments, military and police departments,
presidential guards, and special advisories.
2. Private Sector
- In the private sector, counselors range from independent providers of
services or work for NGOs, or specialized for profit centers and
organizations that render a variety of counseling services. The processes,
methods, and tools used by counselors in the private sectors setting remain
very much the same as in the government setting.
3. Civil Society
- The context of civil society is generally charities or non-profit and issue-
based centers or organizations such as for abused women, abandoned
children and elderly, veterans, teachers, professionals, or religious groups.
The processes, methods, and tools used resemble each other.
4. School
- In the school setting, the role of the school counselor is more complex since
the needs of students can vary widely. This gives rise to the more dynamic
and complex role of school counselors; it depended on a school’s local
circumstances as well as by the dynamism within the profession itself. As
 such, school counselors assume many different responsibilities and tasks
based on the particular needs of students and the school context.
5. Community
- The community has the greatest and widest application of counseling
services considering the diversity of people who constitute the community.
There are people who are in conflict with the law, socially marginalized,
people who suffer a loss of all kinds, those living in institutional homes, and
those experiencing different types of life transitions that need counseling
support and services. The community setting creates a crossroad for
individual context and group context.
