Childcare Level 2 Unit 1 assignment
Task 2
My chosen Professional that works with children is a counsellor. This is a type of therapy in which a child may speak to an adult in confidence. A counsellor is trained to listen and try to encourage the patient to do better in that certain area. Counselling helps to overcome a traumatic experience or helps the child think in a better frame of mind, although the counsellor will not give the patient advice; but will make the patient think of ways to help the situation themselves. Counselling helps a person talk about how they are feeling when facing a new task or situation. The counsellor will speak to the patient and help them figure out why they are thinking that way. A counsellor may encourage the patient to have an understanding of a situation and take personal responsibility. Counsellors will talk about the patient and allow the patient to express their true feelings without judging or criticizing them. There are many different types of counsellor, for example;
Counsellors: Trained to help patients cope better with life and any other issues.
Clinical Psychologists: Trained to help patients with mental health problems and treat them based on evidence.
Psychiatrist: Qualified medical doctors who are specialized in diagnosing and treating people with mental health problems.
Psychotherapists: Similar to counsellors but have usually had more extensive training.
There are also many types of ways that a person can receive counselling. They can receive any of the following types: group, face-to-face, email, over the phone or a specialized computer programme. A patient can also have as many sessions as felt needed, the counsellor may think that only one session is required or maybe more. In 2010 the NHS revealed that they felt they should make counselling sessions easier to access, they decided that patients should be able to access a counsellor as and when they needed to. Counsellors are usually funded by the NHS but there are certain charities that
