Let’s first analyze the current ordinary income of psychological counselors: psychological counselors’ income belongs to the upper and middle class. Currently, in the United States, psychological counselors’ income per hour can reach about $150 per hour.
The domestic consultant team of the United States and Germany is relatively mature and has a high level, and its growth and supervision system is also relatively comprehensive. However, there are currently few mature psychological counselors in China. For example, the current charging standard for psychological counselors in Guangzhou is 500/hour, and visitors generally come from the middle and upper income class.
Nationally, psychological counseling charges range from 100 yuan to 1,000 yuan per hour, with an average charge of 200 yuan per hour. In Shenzhen, the average charge is 200-300 yuan per hour.
Psychological counselors belong to the middle class in the United States, and will not be very poor or rich, and their income will increase as their employment increases.
Currently, the income of practitioners in this industry in China is relatively polarized. Some consultants with better reputation backgrounds are priced at 1,200+RMB/hour, and it is difficult to rank. The income from training in this industry is even more. Another part of psychological counselors who graduated and just entered the industry have low incomes, and the single hour charges are 200-300RMB/hour (some are lower)
In the past two years, China's psychological counseling needs have developed rapidly, but there are still some difficulties in how to match consultants with corresponding qualifications and abide by ethics. It takes a certain amount of time for the industry to clean and regulate.
Currently, psychological counselors trained on the market are all skill-based training, with tuition fees ranging from about 3,000 to 6,000, which is of great help to beginners entering the industry and learning basic psychological knowledge. At the same time, taking the corresponding exam to obtain a pass certificate will also play a certain role in future entry into the industry.
