Is Counselling and Psychotherapy a right career for you?

Friday, June 4th, 2010

In the last number of years there has been increasing recognition of the important role Counseling and Psychotherapy plays in the mental health arena. This has resulted in an increasing demand for well trained professionals.

Standardised regulation for Counselling and Psychotherapy is now coming on stream and thankfully this profession will be well regulated going into the future. This will mean that the academic requirements to become a Counsellor or Psychotherapist will be set at a minimum degree level.

This presents a challenge for the Course Designers and Accrediting Bodies as they are asked to find a fit between the academic components of theory and practice with the personal developments needs of the student.  Personal development is difficult to evaluate and set time limits on, however it does need to be assessed and this is usually done on the course by the experiential groupwork facilitator and also in clinical supervision.

The core training aspects of a recognized degree should be: Self exploration, Supervised Therapeutic work with clients, the development of Counselling Skills, Counselling theory, Research reports, Case Studies and Process Reports. The best courses  also have written and oral exams.

It is important to note that the training can be stressful as past or present issues will be thrown up and it can be daunting to have to deal with these while also dealing with the normal stresses of everyday life. This is where the support of the trainees personal therapist is important as he/she will provide a safe space to step back and look at these issues objectively. This relationship also gives the trainee an understanding of what it is like to be in the clients chair and to experience the vulnerability that the client feels.

Sitting face to face with someone who is going through a life crisis is a huge challenge and responsibility. An experienced supervisor is a key asset for the trainee and should be visited for at least one session for every 5 client hours.

There are many different theoretical orientations within the Counselling and Psychotherapy field, indeed it is hard to get agreement within the profession about what the difference is between a counselor and a psychotherapist. Counselling is primarily about dealing with what is conscious,  ie working with the clients presenting issues. This could be a relationship issue, an addiction problem, or  work related issue such as bullying. In other words the issue is known to the client and is affecting them in the here and now.

Psychotherapy is concerned with what is unconscious and usually involves more long term treatment. The client might present confused about repeating destructive patterns in their life which might not be evident on a conscious level, this might involve the client having to revisit past issues of trauma which can be very distressing. This type of therapy requires a very experience therapist trained to Masters Degree Level.

As can be seen from the above  counselling training is a very serious endeavor,  however it can also be a very enriching and fun experience as you get to know other class members on a very deep and intimate level, new skills are acquired which build  the trainees  self esteem and confidence.

Psychotherapy by Phone is Affordable Alternative

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Used to treat patients with depression, the benefits of psychotherapy are undeniable. For some patients suffering from depression the presence of another person willing to listen, help and provide strategies for managing the disease is clearly a factor in why they seek treatment. Recent studies have discussed the idea of providing psychotherapy to patients via telephone. Providing therapy to people by phone is a novel idea because it takes advantage of modern technology to provide a convenient method for people to instantly pursue the treatment they need. But can truly effective treatment be offered by telephone?

According to the results of a study published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the Archives of General Psychiatry and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), telephone-based psychotherapy for patients diagnosed with depression is not only effective, it is also extremely affordable. The 2004 study involved approximately 400 patients who received telephone therapy, along with antidepressant medications.

Therapists from the Group Health Center for Health Studies, where the study took place, followed a structured protocol for each telephone therapy session administered. They provided cognitive-behavioral therapy to patients, encouraging them to identify negative thoughts and learn coping skills. Therapists also helped patients via phone apply methods of behavioral activation, as well as help them find better ways to care for themselves.

The results of the studies showed several positive outcomes from this telephone-based treatment. According to the findings, people who engaged in therapy over the phone experienced more depression-free days. In addition, those who received telephone therapy had only a 7.6% rate of attrition compared to 50% of those who dropped out of in-person therapy.

National statistics show that only 50% of patients with insurance have sought psychotherapy to treat their depression, and less than 33% have participated in four or more visits. The study shows a steadier rate of persisting through treatment when using the phone method. For the patients in the Group Health study, 75% completed at least six psychotherapy sessions by phone. In addition, the expense of telephone therapy is less costly than traditional forms of therapy, thus making it a popular alternative.

Many patients considered the convenience of treatment via telephone to be a major benefit. Because the symptoms of depression can prohibit patients from seeking help, the option of receiving services from the comfort of home may be a factor in the program’s success. As some people with depression might not feel comfortable with face-to-face contact, the telephone provides an accessible treatment option.

Researchers are conducting further studies to explain some of the findings. They want to understand why people who underwent telephone treatment followed their antidepressant medication routines more strictly than those who were involved in office visits. In addition, they want to understand why telephone therapy had a more positive effect for those with moderate to severe depression than for those with mild depression. As depression is a prevalent condition, proponents of telephone-based psychotherapy stress that the ease and convenience of receiving treatment without having to visit an office or facility makes it easier for people to receive the help they need to live healthier and more productive lives.
