Usually, consulting institutions set fees according to local per capita consumption level and consultants' professional skills, ranging from 200-300 yuan, 300-500 yuan and 600-800 yuan, exceeding 1000 yuan. Different organizations have different titles for consultants, such as senior consultants and expert consultants.
A consultant only needs to spend 35,000 yuan to get a certificate of psychology of grade two or three to practice, but people who really practice know that the investment in psychology in the later stage is great. A psychological counselor can't be achieved in a few months. Usually, I have to participate in practical skills training, do personal counseling experience, participate in group growth groups, and attend some domestic lectures every year. These costs are very expensive, generally between 30,000 and 70,000 per year.
If a consultant is very talented, he can become a junior consultant in three to five years and walk into the door of consulting; 1978, he can become an intermediate consultant to solve some psychological problems; Ten years can become an industry expert, good at solving one or several kinds of problems; Even so, he still has a long way to go.
Matters needing attention in finding a psychological counselor
1, full-time is better than part-time
Full-time consultants will be hungry if they don't do well in technology, so all their working hours are given to consulting.
2. Undergraduate and graduate students who study psychology are better than those who study scientific psychology, and those who study scientific psychology are better than those who have never studied psychology.
Although a considerable part of college psychological education is not directly related to psychological counseling, the basic skills of several years are still relatively reliable, at least it is not easy (not impossible) to be deceived by incredible consulting technology.
3. It's better to have a second-class or third-class certificate/therapist certificate than no certificate.
Although the consultant qualification certificate has been criticized by countless people, the second and third certificates can at least show a person's attitude towards consulting work. If there is no second or third grade, you are more likely to be famous in other fields.
4. People who receive psychological counseling are better than those who don't.
Qualified consultants themselves must continue to receive counseling, of course, the frequency may not be high; However, it does not rule out that some people who have not handled their own problems will also handle other people's problems while dealing with their own problems.
