Counseling is a process where a counselor and a client have time together so as to discuss
difficulties faced by a client. The counselor helps the clients to understand things better and to
work towards getting a solution. I have chosen to work in mental health counseling because I
have the knowledge of the same. I have done enough research in issues concerning mental

client should be highly valued and therefore any personal information revealed by a client should
be kept confidential and private. There should not be any other person during the counseling
process. The counselor should not use the personal information provided as a weapon to threaten
the client. As a counselor I am not supposed to exploit my client either sexually or financially.
Instead, as a counselor I should protect their rights as people. Emotional torture from a counselor
to a client is punishable.
Any counseling session intended should be purely professional between the counselor
and the client. It should be a professional contract. It should be with very clear
objectives.Counsellors therefore should not counseling as just another activity that can be done
without proper arrangements.Counselling should not cause any harm to the client. It is the
responsibility of the counselor to take care of the client from any harm. In case a client is harmed
