Abstract

This study aimed to understand what trainee counselors, who received psychological help, were experiencing in the counseling process and how this process was related to their personal and professional development. The participants consisted of eight trainee counselors who were fourth graders with two of them being male and six female. In order to determine how trainee counselors understand the experience of receiving psychological help, the phenomenological design for qualitative research was used and the data was obtained through semi-structured interview technique. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings were organized under the categories of "psychological help-seeking process," "experience of being a client," and "achievements of receiving psychological help." As a result of the study, it was found that the trainee counselors realized the need for psychological help and tried to reach resources of professional psychological help. While it was comfortable and secure to sit in the counseling chair, it was also stressful. Also, knowing the psychological counseling process influenced their counseling experience and they made some personal and professional achievements during this process. Findings are discussed and interpreted in light of literature, and some suggestions are presented

Özet

Bu araştırmada, psikolojik yardım alan psikolojik danışman adaylarının psikolojik yardım alma sürecinde neler yaşadıklarının anlaşılması ve bu sürecin kişisel ve mesleki gelişimleriyle nasıl bir ilişki içinde olduğunun ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu dördüncü sınıfa devam eden psikolojik danışman adaylarından, psikolojik yardım alan ikisi erkek, altısı kız sekiz öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Psikolojik danışman adaylarının psikolojik yardım alma sürecindeki deneyimlerini nasıl anlamlandırdıklarını öğrenmek için nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgubilim deseni kullanılmış, veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile elde edilmiştir. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular "psikolojik yardım arama süreci", "danışan olma yaşantısı", "psikolojik yardım almanın kazanımları" kategorileri altında toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, psikolojik danışman adaylarının psikolojik yardım alma ihtiyaçlarını fark edip profesyonel psikolojik yardım kaynaklarına ulaşmaya çalıştıkları, danışan koltuğunda oturmanın rahat ve güvende hissettirirken bir yandan da stres ve kaygı verici olduğu, psikolojik danışma sürecini bilmenin danışan olma yaşantılarını etkilediği ve bu süreçten kişisel ve mesleki kazanımlar elde ettikleri bulunmuştur. Bu bulgular, literatür ışığında tartışılmış ve yorumlanmış; bazı öneriler sunulmuştur
