Consulting settings usually have a relatively fixed framework and contents, which are unilaterally proposed by consultants and fine-tuned according to different cases: some contents depend on theoretical positioning, and some contents depend on the actual situation of the case, which are confirmed by both parties through discussion. Even for free consultation, there are constraints to ensure the consultation effect.

Consulting setup exists before consulting, so what is its significance and value?

1. The consulting environment itself is a good measuring tool:

For visitors, whether they can follow the consultation setting well can judge whether the case controls time, whether the social function is good, personality characteristics and so on;

For psychological counselors, it is a self-awareness tool. If empathy and anti-empathy occur within the set framework, they can be well utilized, otherwise, the relationship between consultation and interview will be confused, and treatment and technology will not be realized without a framework, and the expected results will not be achieved.

2. Strictly abide by the consultation settings to protect the interests of visitors, and at the same time, it is also a double protection for consultants:

For example, people with personality disorder and strong desire for control, if there is no consultation setting, will easily cause unnecessary trouble and harm to the consultants, and will eventually destroy the consultation relationship;
