(1) Self-evaluation of the counseling effect by the clients.

For example, people who ask for help think that what they were afraid of is no longer afraid, and now they face up to the unacceptable reality and improve their satisfaction with themselves.

(2) The social life of the parties adapts to the objective reality of change.

For example, starting to go to work and go to school normally, getting along with people has improved, and the efficiency of work and study has improved.

(3) People around you, especially family members, friends and colleagues, evaluate the progress of the help seekers.

For example, stop losing your temper and throwing things, and strengthen communication with parents or children.

(4) Comparison of psychological measurement results of visitors before and after consultation.

For example, the scores of some psychological symptom scales have improved. Self-evaluation is more positive, dare to face difficulties and so on.

(5) Evaluation of consultants.

According to the consultant's observation, the help seekers have made progress in emotion, cognition and independence, have a more positive self-evaluation and dare to face difficulties.

It should be noted that the evaluation content should be based on the purpose of consultation, and only the improvement of the target content can be the direct result of consultation. For example, a helper with social phobia, after psychological counseling, has increased his self-confidence, reduced his anxiety and reduced his tension at work, but he still has social fear and is afraid to associate with others. Although counseling has had a positive impact on the help seekers and achieved certain counseling effects, it has not achieved the expected goal. On the other hand, although it did not solve the social phobia, it improved the psychological state, and psychological counseling had an indirect effect.
