"How should I start becoming a professional counselor?" the question has been haunting Xiao Wang's mind.
Xiao Wang, 27 years old, has always been interested in psychology, has studied a lot of courses, and is full of enthusiasm to help the people around him, but he doesn't know how to make himself a professional psychological counselor.
A person like Xiao Wang, who is very helpful and motivated, is actually in the "enthusiastic helper stage". More than 20 years of research on counselors by Professor Skovholt's team at the University of Minnesota divides the growth of counselors into six stages (Rønnestad & Skovholt, 2003), the first stage is the enthusiastic helper, and the person in this stage is not actually a professional helper in nature.
As a warm-hearted but layman, I always want to quickly identify problems and provide advice and solutions to others based on my own experience, values, common sense, etc.
At the same time, people who are enthusiastic about helping others are often very emotionally involved in the person they help and try to provide strong emotional support.
Many students who are interested in the profession of psychological counselor should be at this stage.
01
What support do you need on your way to becoming a counsellor?
We anonymously randomly selected 500 students of the previous "Simple Psychology Uni-Psychological Counselor Training Program" and found that 85% of the learners value the internship and practice support provided by the platform the most. This coincides with our 8 years of training experience.
In 2016, Simple Psychology Uni launched the "Psychological Counselor Training Program", and took the lead in launching a psychological counselor education program with "practice" as the ultimate training goal, focusing on cultivating psychological counselors with professional competence.
We hope that through 2 years and nearly 600 hours of theoretical study, internship and supervision, and intensive training, you will grow into a psychological counselor with theoretical knowledge, counseling skills and basic ability to work with clients.
To be able to set the ultimate training goal in "practice", it is inseparable from the strong support of the simple psychological platform behind it.
Since 2014, more than 1,000 counselors have completed 1 million+ psychological consultations in Simple Psychology.
After several rounds of vetting, interviewing, and interviews with these competent consultants, we found that there were some common characteristics of their growth. Coincidentally, this is also confirmed by the research of Professor Skovholt's team at the University of Minnesota (Rønnestad & Skovholt, 2003, 2013).
After combining the APA Psychological Counselor Competency Model, international professional theoretical research, and the practical experience of platform counselors, we have concluded that in order to grow into a professional competent psychological counselor, there are three major elements:
◍ Continuous immersion in an efficient knowledge and theory learning environment ◍ Accumulation of continuous internship and supervision hours◍ Have a clear and stable practice path
Therefore, the training of practical ability and professional competency with a complete system, including professional internship and supervision, and courses with practice pathways, can truly escort those who want to become professional psychological counselors.

Beginner ◍ Understand all aspects of psychological counseling ethics and settings, master basic counseling techniques and attitudes, and enter the simple psychology exclusive hotline platform: hotline internship training + 40-hour hotline + 30-hour group supervision
After completing the introductory course, you will understand the basic skills of counselling, at which point you will enter the Psychological Hotline internship. As a psychotherapist, you will greatly improve the basic skills of a counselor, such as "listening", "empathy", and "questioning". In order to be accountable to you and the caller, we will provide you with dedicated training and assessment before the internship, as well as group supervision under the guidance of a professional supervisor, so that you can have professional support from experienced consultants at the beginning stage.
Intermediate ◍ In-depth understanding of various schools of counseling theories and techniques, able to form preliminary consultation ideas according to different types of problems and needs;◍ Settle in the simple psychology intermediate internship platform: initial interview training + 30 hours of pre-counseling internship + 30 hours of group supervision
After completing the intermediate theoretical study, you will have a deeper understanding of psychological counselling, and in the intermediate internship, you will improve your data gathering skills and practice techniques such as initial interviewing. Combined with the case supervision of the supervising teacher, it will help you form a preliminary understanding of the case problem and gradually establish work ideas. Simple Psychology has opened an exclusive appointment channel for intermediate "pre-consultation" internships, without you having to rush to recruit visitors.
Advanced ◍ Have a comprehensive grasp of the consultation stage, the closing stage and common issues. ◍ Settle in the simple psychology low-cost internship platform: open a paid case internship + 30 hours of case counseling internship + 30 hours of group supervision
After advanced study, you will master the theories of specific topics such as depression, anxiety, crisis intervention, etc., and learn integrated counselling techniques. When you enter the internship stage, you will be listed on the "Low Price Consultation" platform as a "student consultant", accept appointments from clients, and establish a formal fee-based consultation relationship. During your advanced internship, you will practice the full counselling process. With the dual support of group supervision + individual supervision "one case and one supervision", we have accumulated experience in case consultation from 0 to 1.
The three stages adopt the mode of theoretical learning + internship + supervision, which ensures that the theory and practice are not disconnected, so that the students can be immersed in the internship uninterruptedly in the learning process, accumulate consulting hours and experience in the internship, and make adequate preparations for the future practice road.
