As A Counsellor, It Is Equally Important That The Person Counselling Is Doing

As a counsellor, it is equally important that the person counselling is doing so from a genuine and healthy desire to assist others, not from some personal issues that are somehow fulfilled through their counselling role. The counsellor must themselves be emotionally and mentally healthy in order to properly assist clients.
In conclusion, while all of the three major psychological theories of motivation produce results, the Humanistic theory is the most helpful in a psychological discipline. It emphasises the client achieving motivation from within, and for healthy self-oriented reasons. While it is arguably a more difficult way to encourage motivation in a client, it is yet more likely to be lasting and in their best interests.
