People encounter some problems or troubles in their life, study or work and desperately need a counselor who can help you and solve your problems. How can we find such a professional? According to my understanding and knowledge, I would like to introduce you as follows: a. Psychiatric hospitals psychiatric hospitals such as Beijing An Ding Hospital, Beijing Huilongguan Hospital and Peking University Institute of Mental Health have set up psychological counseling clinics, you can choose to go to the psychological clinics of such regular hospitals, in most cases, you need to make an appointment, the cost of ordinary registration is between 20-60 yuan, and the time of each consultation is 20-30 minutes. The cost of a regular registration is between 20-60 RMB and the duration of each consultation is 20-30 minutes, while the cost of a specialist or special need number is 200-300 RMB and the consultation time is about 30-40 minutes. You will not pay for the whole session in advance. Because there are many schools of psychological counseling theory, such as psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral, family marriage, Morita therapy, etc., the methods adopted by different counselors or experts vary greatly, and there is a problem of “compatibility” between counselors and patients, so it is best to know the counseling style of the counselor you are looking for in advance so that you can find the right counselor or expert for you as soon as possible. There are two main types of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. Second, the psychological services in the community There are many psychological counseling centers in the community, all over the world, which can be found on the Internet, and the service and environment may be more considerate than hospitals, but the cost is high, depending on the qualifications of the counselor, the cost of each consultation in Beijing is between 300-1200, and the quality of consultation is difficult to measure, so it can be said that there are mixed, but of course there are also good ones. It’s just like decorating a house and buying building materials, it requires careful and serious examination, but it’s not easy to get some real insight. Most cases require payment in advance for a course of treatment, and often no refunds if you withdraw in the middle, so be sure to consider carefully before officially entering counseling. Practitioners have complex backgrounds, including psychology, business management, human resource management and other origins, and a small number of them are psychiatrists. Third, the friends around the study of counseling There are friends or colleagues interested in psychology, self-learning or attending classes to learn counseling techniques, when you have a problem to ask them for advice, they are also happy to help you with their own learning and experience of the method. Sometimes there is some effect, but the overall effect is not good, except for professional reasons, relationships like friends or colleagues and free settings can also directly affect the effectiveness of counseling. If the psychological problem is serious, it is recommended that you must seek counseling from a psychiatric background or go to a psychiatric hospital; if it is a general psychological problem such as life troubles, you can choose the above path according to your situation.
