How does Intuitive Counseling work?
Intuitive Counseling works by offering clients a space where they can freely express themselves, talk about what they want to change in their lives and get a personalized action plan with regular check-ins with your counselor.
Each counselor might have a slightly different approach, but our process looks something like this.
First, we start by paying attention to the client’s needs, making sure we are actively listening and trying to understand where they’re coming from.
This is a great time to get as much information about the issue/s as we can from the client making open-ended and relevant questions.
And we have to make sure that the client’s body language is in sync with the things they’re saying, to ensure they’re not hiding anything that could be useful for future sessions.
Second, we identify what the primary need of our client is at the moment, focus on that main problem, and start to dig deeper so we can start crafting our action plan
Third, we determine the tools and techniques we’re going to use with each client to ensure we’re offering the best possible solutions for their problems. Here’s where some counselors might choose a different healing method or healing modalities.
Here’s where your client will start healing holistically and receive guidance to move forward.
Fourth, we give our clients 1-3 goals with observable results, giving the client the chance to proactively change his life and/or mindset before our next session.
With each in-between session, we see if the clients were able to reach those goals, and then we create bigger plans for them until eventually they reach the big goal we identified in the beginning.

How to become an Intuitive Counselor?
There’s no set-in-stone way of becoming an intuitive counselor because each counselor might come from a different spiritual background and use other tools they learned along the way besides their therapeutic techniques.
When you choose to get certified as an Intuitive Counselor, you will learn about energy and healing, some elements of human psychology, therapeutic techniques, empathy, active listening, and more.
These tools will help you give your patients the tools they need to overcome any obstacle they have in life while you offer a safe space to express themselves.
What to look for in an Intuitive Counselor?
The best intuitive counselor for you should be someone that offers a safe space for you to express yourself free of judgment, or interruptions.
Your counselor should be a great listener, they shouldn’t try to give you solutions or fix anything while you’re explaining your situation.
After they have all the information, they should offer you a lot of reassurance and tell you that forgiveness is possible, and remind you that you’re in fact not broken.
From there, they should help you identify limiting beliefs, identify solutions that seem attainable for you at that moment, and offer you tools for growth, healing, and progress.
A good counselor will empower you to become independent and won’t make you reliant on their sessions.
Once you’ve achieved your desired goal/s, that’s it. They should offer measurable goals, homework, progress checks, and tell you when you don’t need any more sessions.
