Counseling :
Counseling typically follows a series of overlapping stages. Initially, clients help clinicians understand their current difficulties, that is, help clinicians to understand why they are seeking counseling. Based upon this initial contact, clients commit to counseling as a way to address their problems.
This stage is followed by conversations and activities that lead to a deeper understanding of the clients’ needs and desires. This is followed by clients and clinicians agreeing on goals for change and an action plan to accomplish these goals. This is followed by periodic assessment or re-evaluation of the counseling goals and the effectiveness of the strategies used to achieve these goals.
If new information emerges that changes either the understanding of the problems or the goals of counseling, the process is adapted to meet the need of the new circumstances
