science wherein you endeavor to weigh the objective and
subjective facets of counseling process.
It upholds a flexible and creative process whereby the
counselor modifies the approach to meet the developing
needs of the clients. It is also associated with the act of
giving oneself and being compassionate in counseling
processes.
Goals of Counseling

Scope of Counseling
 Counseling is a broad concept with diverse meanings and goals.
The identified goals above indicate the scope of counseling.
Counseling is necessary in almost every aspect of a person’s life –
cognitive, behavioral, systematic, social, psychological, and
others. It is also to individuals, family, and groups.

 On individual counseling many issues are covered such as


depression, sexual abuse, anxiety, gender, relationships,
spirituality, ideology, adolescent, issues, loss, anger, stress,
vocation, studies, and others. In terms of family counseling,
issues include divorce, family dynamics, transitions in life,
miscommunication, jealousy, money, matters, parenting,
remarriage, and others. 
Ethical Principles of Counseling

1. Autonomy of individuals
 Is based on the right to freedom of action and freedom of
choice in so far as the pursuit of these freedom does not
interfere with the freedom of others; counseling cannot
happen unless the client has made a free choice to
participate.

 Personal autonomy is not a simple one and not sufficient as


a guide to action and good practice in all circumstances.
2. Principle of Nonmaleficence
 This
refers to instruction to all helpers or
healers that they must , above all, do no harm;
 Beneficence
refers to the order to promote
human welfare. 
3. Principle of Justice
 Concerned with the fair distribution of resources and services,
unless there is some acceptable reason for treating them
differently.
 For counseling, the principle has particular relevance to the
question of access.
4. Principle of Fidelity
 Shares to the presence of loyalty, reliability, dependability and
action in good faith.
 The rule of confidentiality reveals the importance of fidelity;
entering into a contract means to stay with the client and give
the case his/her efforts.
