Professional Orientation & Ethics
Counselor Competence & Self-Care
Neukrug (2016) states "counseling students, and counselors in general, all need to attend to their own wellness by embracing a wellness perspective if they are to be effective counselors" (p. 20). In this statement, the author highlights the inextricable link between two crucial concepts - counselor wellbeing and counselor effectiveness. Essay 2 explores this linkage and the manner in which these two elements of counselor identity and counseling practice interact. In order to do so, students will respond to the following questions:
In what ways does counselor wellbeing impact counselor competence and impact effective counseling practice? What self-care practices might counselors pursue to enhance the effectiveness of their work with clients?
