The clientele and audiences of counseling are normal people. They are not in
need of clinical or mental help. What they need are guidance at the critical
moments of their life, assistance in realizing a change in behavior or attitude, or
simply seeking to achieve a goal. What the clientele and calls for counseling is
application or development of social skills, effective communication, spiritual
direction, decision-making, and career choices.

2
 The clientele and audiences in counseling are individuals and groups of people
who receive service from various counseling professions. These individuals and
groups vary in their needs and context where they avail counseling services.

NEEDS OF CLIENTELE IN COUNSELING AS TO:

 INDIVIDUAL
 GROUP AND ORGANIZATION
 COMMUNITY

1.1. Individual as Client of counseling

They are individual who needs to be helped to manage well a life changing
situation or personal problem or crisis and other support needs that may undergo
counseling as individual.

This is the common type of counseling. The individual needs capacitation to be

able to manage well their unique circumstances, which maybe very difficult to
endure alone.

Problems like alcoholism, loss of job, divorce, imprisonment, and rehabilitation

can be a cause of shame and embarrassment. Without acquiring enough strength
and ability to go through such life experience, people are vulnerable and may come
out worse; even while simply going through natural life transitions like retirement
and growing old.

2.2. Group and Organization as Client of Counseling

3
 Group exist in communities, organizations, students in schools, teachers in
schools, and departments in workplaces, and such an entity can undergo group
counseling to meet counseling needs on that level.

The needs can range from desire to reduce conflict or manage it, become more
productive as a team or work better together. Some of the group processes and
procedures resemble those that are applied to individuals. However, some are very
unique to group and organizational context.

2.3. The Community as Client of Counseling

Community counseling is a generic term for any of professional counseling

that treats dysfunction occurring within a group of related people. This term
describes a preventive system of counseling that works to combat psychological
impairment through the improvement and development of community support.

A community is defined as a group of interacting individuals who share a

commonality. This commonality can be anything from location of residence to
career interest, but a community counselor will use this common characteristic to
council groups of people.

When people experience something collectively, which maybe socially troubling

and constitute the danger of blocking their collective capacity to move on,
counseling is necessary to be undertaken on a community level.
