Eclectic Counselling
Directive CounsellingBy – Rakhi Agarwal
Assistant Professor
S.S.V.College, Hapur
Directive Counselling
Counselling during which a counsellor plays an
active role in a client's or patient's decision making
by offering advice, guidance, and/or
recommendations.
Directive Counselling
E.G WILLIAMSON is the chief exponent in this viewpoint.
Counsellor –centered: the counsellor direct the client to take
steps in order to resolve his conflicts.
It is based on assumption that the client cannot solve his own
problems for lack of information.
The counsellor plays an important role; he tries to direct the
thinking of counselee by informing , explaining, interpreting and
advising.
It gives more importance to intellectual aspect than emotional
aspects.
Steps of Directive Counselling

Counselling
Follow up
Merits
It is less time consuming; hence this method can be
adopted when an early solution is required.
This method is best; less matured and less intelligent
client interact with an experienced counsellor.
This is best method at lower levels where the client is
not in a position to analyze his own problem.
In this method, the counsellor becomes readily
available to help the client which makes the client
very happy.
Demerits
In directive counselling, the client never becomes independent
of the counsellor. So it is not an effective or best guidance.
The personal autonomy and integrity of the client is not
respected, it leads to new adjustment problems.
It will not help the individual to develop any attitudes through
his own experiences.
The counsellor fails in saving the client to commit the mistakes
in future.
Eclectic CounsellingBy – Rakhi Agarwal
Assistant Professor
S.S.V.College, Hapur
Eclectic Counselling
The chief advocate of this type of counselling is
‘Thorne’.
Eclectic counselling is a type of counselling which
is neither counsellor-centred nor client centred;
but a combination of both.
Here the counsellor is neither too active as in
directive counselling nor too passive as in non-
directive counselling, but follows a middle
course.
Steps of Eclectic Counselling
Study of the needs and personality characteristics of the
client
Selection of techniques
Application of techniques
Evaluation of effectiveness
Preparation for
Counselling
Seeking the opinion of the client and other related people
Characteristics of Eclectic Counselling
Methods of counselling may change from client to client or
even with the same client from time to time.
It is highly flexible.
Freedom of choice and expression is open to both the
counsellor and the counselee.
Experience of mutual confidence and faith in the
relationship are basic.
The client and the philosophical framework are adjusted
to save the purpose of the relationship.
Online Counselling / E-counselling
Online counselling is the provision of
professional mental health counselling services
through the Internet. Services are typically offered
via email, real-time chat, and video conferencing.
Some clients use online counselling in conjunction
with traditional psychotherapy, or nutritional
counselling, and a growing number of clients are
using online counselling as a replacement for office
visits.

CounsellingBy – Rakhi Agarwal
Assistant Professor
S.S.V.College, Hapur
Non Directive Counselling
CARL R. ROGER is the chief exponent in this viewpoint.
This school of thought is just reverse to that of directive
counseling.
It is a client-centered process.
In this, the counselee is the pivot of the whole counselling
process.
The main function of the counsellor is to create an
atmosphere in which the client can work out his problem.
Steps of Non Directive Counselling
Defining the Problematic Situation : First of all the counsellor should define theproblematic situation.
Free Expression of Feelings : After the first step, the client is made aware of thefact that he can express his feelings freely and the counselor approves this.
Development of Insight : The counsellor goes on thinking regarding the client'snew feelings along with the development of client's insight and he goes onclassifying all those new feelings.
Classification of Positive and Negative Feelings : After the free expression offeelings by the client, the counsellor identifies his negative and positive feelingsand he classifies them.
Termination of Counselling Situation : The counsellor looks for a point where hecan terminate the counselling situation after all the above steps. According to thisschool of thought, either the client or the counsellor can suggest for suchtermination of counselling situation.
Merits
It helps the counselee to become independent and self-
reliant and to attain the ability for self-direction.
It helps the client to attain emotional integrity; and helps
to reach his full growth.
It helps to attain more sustainable adjustment to his
situation.
This type of counselling leaves it’s impressions for a
longer period.
Demerits
It is usually more time-consuming.
It is not suitable for a less matured and less intelligent
counselee.
The counsellor’s passive attitude might irritate the
counselee so much that he might hesitate to express his
feelings.
It is not possible in schools because the counsellor has to
attend many pupils.

Stages of Personal Guidance
Primary Stage
Personal guidance at this stage aims at
helping the children to get along with others
and to develop certain social qualities. At
this stage opportunities or facilities are given
to pupils for their self expression. Personal
guidance at this stage deals with the
problems related to health, feeling of
insecurity, social acceptance, discipline and
leisure time pursuits.
Secondary Stage
Personal guidance is organized, at this stage for the students because in the mid-point
of this level of education the pupils reach at the stage of adolescence or adolescence
period. As at the secondary school level the students are at the adolescence stage and
they have more internal personal problems. There is more necessity of such type of
guidance at this stage. During adolescence period due to peculiar, physical,
intellectual, emotional and social developments children undergo marked changes in
their attitude and behavior.
They have a number of needs, the fulfillment of which poses problems. They have
many doubts and confusions. Adjustment becomes a problem to them. This is a period
of high order of emotionality. At this period the children are more self-conscious. They
need recognition and approval. Personal guidance at this stage is concerned mostly
with problems of personal and social adjustment.
If the adolescents are not properly guided they will become maladjusted. Adolescence
is the most important period of one’s life and at this stage the child is to be properly
and cautiously guided. Besides the children should be trained to know their
potentialities and limitations and to seek compromise between ideas and reality.
University Stage
Personal guidance at this stage is just a
continuation of the personal guidance offered at
the secondary school stage; but its scope is wider.
It should develop in students a sense of social
service, social responsibility, patriotism, mutual
respect and tolerance. It should help the students
to accept the vision of life in relation to its
practicability.
