Counseling has provided a platform to help people deal and express their feelings in the right way, where no one will judge or doubt them. The information is enhanced through the counseling skills that include, active listening, which entails listening to emotional feelings and thoughts, and understanding behaviors and the actions going on in the surrounding that would cause any destructions.(Grapers 65).
The role of information in counseling has also enhanced the open-minded mentality, and people can communicate freely knowing that the counselor will observe confidentiality. Information has played a part in educating the clients during the counseling processes and enabled them have an insight from different areas they are having issues dealing with.
The course influences the skills of listening and feedback giving which is relevant to counseling career and provides a priority for the clients to air out their views where counselors would positively review and rectify their mistakes should there be any outlined. Feedback giving is also important in the career as it determines the attitudes and feelings one has towards specific issues. During counselors’ supervision, feedback is applied in identifying the weak areas that need to be polished. In the counseling career, feedback is evaluated and given in a sandwiched form whereby positive remarks are first encouraged, what an individual did not do right and the way forward. The manner should be polite, and the message conveyed in a proper way that will enhance the communication between both the parties and will maintain a long term relationship (Harper 12).

Internet is also an excellent platform that helps in creating awareness on the importance of attending counseling sessions, and not just for the insane individuals.
The world is cultivated in a way people have a perception that when an individual is scheduled for a therapy, they are losing their mind. Such mentality should be stopped, and it is possible through the interventions and sensitization via internet that appears to be an effective channel in the current world. When the phobia develops in a person’s life, they are not able to step up to new challenges that may develop, and as such preventing opportunities of advancing in life. The internet helped in determining the fears and weaknesses of people which is classified under the personality issues (Crossland 30). Such predicaments are concurred when the person acknowledges they have an issue and need to be resolved.

It describes self-awareness as journey that requires analytical approach and meditation.
Counseling psychology would help in the career building after graduation through frequently practicing of the counseling skills so that all the ethical conducts are observed to avoid any malpractice. The primary and important ethical behavior is confidentiality that provides a room for private information talk, and there is guarantee for privacy on the same, between the client and the counselor. Psychology helps in understating more about human beings and their behaviors. This platform would, therefore, be applicable in creating a mutual understanding especially between the workmates (Crocket 17).
During career building, counseling contributes a portion in personality discovery and ascertains the power of creating and maintaining healthy relationships in the work environment. An inclusive self-discovery and tolerance from each partner would enable a healthy firm to progress due to the management that would be easier as there are no misunderstandings. A career opportunity would be easier created once there is a personal understanding and an inbuilt-confidence geared by self-awareness process.
