COUNSELING

WHAT IS A HOLISTIC COUNSELOR?

He is a professional figure who works in the field of the ‘helping relation’ with a global view: if we imagine a healthy person who, in a certain period of his life, goes through a difficult moment or a period of confusion, mourning, separation, unemployment or other situation that disturbs his equilibrium, instead of going into traditional therapy, he can go to a counselor who is able to help him in less time, without undergoing exhausting analytical and interpretative processes. A counselor brings the person respectfully and with attention focused on the right path toward a greater awareness of his problem. He works toward an over-arching vision that puts the problem in a clear light and a different context to allow him to overcome the crisis. We can think of the counselor as a trainer who works with you to increase your self-esteem and who facilitates the processes of getting the most from your attitudes, capabilities and talents.  The holistic counselor does not work with sick people or diseases, therefore he has no patients who put themselves blindly in his hands, but interlocutors: healthy people whom he considers his equals. He therefore needs to possess greater authenticity and transparency, a deep feeling of responsibility, and ethics, above all. A holistic counselor has personally experimented with and experienced everything he proposes himself, in group settings, and during his training.  He has acquired a specialist experience that enables him to act with complete autonomy and discrete success on the cases he handles.
