There are various assessment tools obtainable for assessing the needs for patients or clients. The addiction professional uses assessment instruments as one component of the counseling/treatment process taking into account the client’s personal and cultural background. The assessment process promotes the well-being of individual clients or groups (NAADAC, 2015). This process helps determine how much and what kind of treatment your client needs. It is important to be aware of different types of assessments as well as being familiar with how they work in each situation. As we assess George we will use two different assessment tools to give as an example of how to assesss the needs of this client.

In the lives of counselor’s assessment plays a great role. Assessments are what shows the counselor what it is that their client is in need of help in. Like our book states, assessment is a complex, problem solving process that allows us to collect information in order to better serve our client (Drummond, Sheperis, & Jones, 2016). I was not aware of how involved counselors are in the testing process until I began this class. I now see that assessments also helps the client understand their own problems as well, it is just up to us to help them interpret the assessment.

Team met per parents request to review service hours regarding counseling. Initially Mrs. Ruedemann requested that all counseling hours be removed. Due to Connor's inconsistent behaviors within the school setting the team suggested that Connor’s service hours be reduced rather than eliminated. Mrs. Ruedemann agreed with the team’s decision to have Connor meet with a counselor for 30 min every other week. In addition, to service hours Mrs. Ruedemann expressed concerns with Connors accountability within the classroom setting.

Marjory Winkler lived the several years of her childhood and adolescence in misery born both of circumstances and her own reaction to them. Her single encounter with a counselor allowed her to discover through the counselor's skillful maneuvering some realities of not only her own life, but that of her mother's as well. Whether Marjory sought additional counseling after this one session is unclear; it is only known that she did not return to this particular psychologist. Regardless of whether Marjory sought additional counseling or not, later reports indicated that Marjory had been able to craft a life for herself after all, one that

Counselling sessions can help us work through a range of personal issues from everyday hardships to potentially life threatening situations. In this reflective essay I propose to put theory to practice by analysing and reflecting upon a one hour session with a professional counsellor. The session is to be recorded so I can refer to particular instances during the session.

Most scientists, researchers and health care professionals understand the importance of being able to employ effective basic strategies for evaluation after a specific strategy has been employed be it in a research project or in clinical work. Evaluation is key as it forces professionals to truly scrutinize and zero-in on the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of a given strategy. In a mental health care setting, being able to lucidly determine and assess the effectiveness and success of mental health care counseling based on the outcomes is a vital component of therapy at large.

The Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) oversees a comprehensive, practice-research network, designed to help directors of university and college counseling centers (UCC) monitor clinical trends, enhance treatment effectiveness, and advocate for additional resources (McAleavey, Castonguay, Hayes, & Locke, 2014). Through this initiative, standardized measures are used to collect data from UCCs across the United States. One of these, the Counseling Center Assessment for Psychological Symptoms - 34 (CCAPS-34; Locke et al, 2012), was constructed as a brief multidimensional outcome measure, assessing seven clinical subscales including depression, eating concerns, alcohol abuse, generalized anxiety, hostility, social anxiety, and academic

The American Counseling Association (2014) defines counseling as a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals to meet their goals in various areas of their life. I view counseling as a ministry that is designed to help individuals acquire the skills necessary to deal with life experiences and foster positive relationships, and establish and complete goals. According to Flanagan & Flanagan (2014), establishing a positive rapport is essential before developing assessments and interventions (p.7). Therefore, I will take the necessary steps in building positive rapports with my clients.

The client met with his counselor for a 1x1 session to discuss what are his plans , and where he is at mentally. The client continues to discuss his ex-girlfriend and their break up. The client seems to be having a hard time with accepting that she is calling the quits. After talking to the client over the course of the three months he has been in the program.

It appears that it would be in the best interest of the client to focus on his recovery which , is having a better relationship

A thoughtful statement answering the question, "Why do I think I am suited to the field of professional counseling?"

Morgan I also choose to use scenario 2. Furthermore, I agree that the major red flags in this scenario is the initial refusal of service to counsel the client based on faith alone. There could be a multitude of reasons as to why the client choose to use a counselor outside of his faith. However, it seems apparent the main reason why the client chooses to use outside resources for his gambling problem is because the root cause is from him proclaiming his faith going door-to-door. But, this leads to a major problem that the counselor and the client agreed initially that the counseling sessions would exclude faith in the counseling sessions. Furthermore, this leads to an inherent conflict of interest as the root of the problem is faith based.

For this essay there will be a critical evaluation of the counselling approaches and skills that are used which can guide the practice of education professionals and benefit relationships with children/ young people in supporting their social and emotional well-being. The approaches that will be looked at and compared are the Person-centred approach and the Psychodynamic approach. The approaches will be discussed and linked to the use in an educational context by teachers with children and young people. The strengths and weaknesses of these approaches will also be examined. It is important for teacher to support children and young people’s social and emotional development right for the start of their educational experiences in the early years. The statutory frame work for the early years published by the department for education in 2014 makes sure that every practitioner follows by law the learning and development requirements of every child. The DFE 2014 suggests educational programs have to include activities and experiences involving the children as suggested: personal social and emotional development entails assisting children to develop an encouraging view of themselves, and others; to make positive relationships and develop respect for others, progress on their social skills and acquire the skill how to deal and control their feelings, to know how to behaviour correctly in groups and to have self confidence in what they can do.
