6 TIPS FOR NEW SCHOOL COUNSELORS: Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started As A School Counselor
6️⃣After watching this video, you will leave with 6 tips on how to begin the school year positively and be prepared. Within the 6 tips are also other helpful nuggets of advice.
Get comfortable, grab your pen and notebook, and take notes!
❤️School Counselors are the heart of the school and wear many hats. Counselors do so many things that some may not even realize. Counselors prepare lessons, teach skills related to academics, social emotional learning, and college and career readiness, and do so many other things.
😩Starting as a new counselor can be stressful. There’s so many things to do to prepare and get your mind, body, and spirit ready for the new school year. New counselors may be feeling confused or stressed and may not know where to start.
👋🏾My name is John Burnett and I am a middle school counselor. This is my 11th year in education overall. This year marks my 5th year as a school counselor. Ive worked in elementary and middle school environments and I’ve learned many things along the way.
❤️Many of the lessons I learned the hard way and it is my desire that you go in knowing what to expect from your role.This profession is one where grad school can only prepare you for so much. You may have questions.
⁉️If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at j.eburnett7@gmail.com
Yes to the years. I’m so glad to see a male counselor. You’re needed in the schools. ❤️
Thank you! I ❤️ my job! I have an opportunity to make a positive impact on SOOO many lives!
@@counselingwithmrb Yyyesss and I know you will!
Im glad to see him as well. It’s discouraging being the only male school counseling student but once I found him it made me feel more comfortable.
My favorite point was “setting boundaries”. This expectation can be applied to all professions. It’s important to set reasonable boundaries in the beginning. Healthy Boundaries allow you perform at your best for all stakeholders - parents, teachers, students and community partners! Great video and even better insight! 😊
Thank you! My real life experience definitely helped me understand the importance of setting boundaries.
My favorite tip, "Ask Questions." As a school counselor coach, I know how important it is for new counselors to ask questions! Great video, will be sharing link with our school counselors! Thank you.
Thank you! Monday I’m sharing a video on the 4 questions I ask during EVERY interview. I hope you come back and watch it. ☺️
Hello! This is very helpful. Thank you! This is my second year as a counselor. In my first year I was in an elementary school. I had 1000+ students, 90% minorities, struggling with social adaptation. I took too many responsibilities and I collapsed at the end of the year, with depression, anxiety and lack of motivation. I took myself a sabbatical year, I reorganized my life and developed my self-compassion and now I am a highschool counselor and is way better. It's very important to be very organized and open at school, but when you finish your 8 hours of work you must set firm boundaries and take care of yourself.
Definitely! I’m so glad you were able to find your balance. I know how tough it is working in a large elementary school. It was definitely a lie and took it’s toll.
@@counselingwithmrb why did you say "it was a lie"?
@@angelicaperez2031 lol my apologies. I meant “it was a lot.”
So it’s a typo😅☺️😂
Ugh... this is all true..
I came across ur video right time when i needed it!
Glad i'm not feeling lonely anymore.
My favorite tips is about boundary. You're right, being student counselor is like wearing so many different hats. And i almost forget myself for the past 3 weeks.
I feel so uncomfortable bcs i push myself too hard to be available for everyone. But no one happy, no one pleased, including myself.
Then i get burn out & not being present in my work.
It's really really important to set boundaries. Not just physical boundaries but also emotional, energy, and time boundaries!
I hope you do what’s best for you this year 😊🤗 thanks for watching
Great videos! I'm a 20+ year vet, leaving secondary ELA beginning my first year as an Elementary School Counselor and I'm trying not to freak out! All the tips were great---Building the Program & Setting Boundaries most resonated with me. Thanks so much for your very insightful and helpful videos.
You’ll be great! Have an amazing school year! 😊
My favorite tips that really resonated with me are stay organized, set boundaries, and know students names - but all the tips were really great! Thank you! I hope we both of a great year!
Oh wow, thank you thank you thank you!! I just moved to a new state to start my first school counseling job and I am beyond nervous. My favorite tip was to set boundaries between your work and personal life. I love my alone time and me time and I think setting those boundaries are going to be so key for me. Thank you for this video!
Hi Olivia! Congratulations. You’ll be fine. Check out this video as a guide to success🥳
th-cam.com/video/wJ2QHFSKPVw/w-d-xo.html
Enjoyed you video! This was very helpful. My favorite tip was, "Give yourself grace" Very encouraging.
Thank you! It’s so true. This job is rewarding but can be hard at times ☺️
Thank you for what you doing!!! I love being a School Counselor! Love the very 1st tip of building relationships it is essential! Kids share more when they trust you and know you care!
Definitely! They need to feel comfortable, then they’ll tell you everything 😂 ☺️
Thank you for your tips. Super useful. I have been a teacher in Sri Lanka for 15 years. I have an interview for the position of counsellor at the school where I teach. So your advice really helped me face it with confidence.
I hope you do well! Congratulations. Let me know if you have questions. I also have an interview tips playlist⬇️🎉🎉

@@counselingwithmrb I sent you a dm, I look forward to learning from your videos!
I like it when you said " you cant pour from an empty cup" that stuck in my head.
Yes! This message is specially true now because there’s a lot of needs. Are you currently working in a school setting?
@@counselingwithmrb I am a teacher who wants to get a 2nd masters. social work or counseling. i want to leave the classroom.
@@cs0779533 that’s awesome! Thank you for all you do to educate our youth. My next video series will be on self-care, burnout, and boundaries. Hope you stay tuned.
I'm 25 and going back to college and I feel a push to go back for a school guidance counselor. I'm excited and thanks for sharing your tips and experiences!
I have some video ideas planned just for people in your situation ☺️ stay tuned!
@@counselingwithmrb Thanks, I will be looking forward to them!
Great job John! I am a 20 year veteran entering into a new school and environment (virtual) and these tips served as a great refresher! My favorite tip was “setting boundaries” as this has been something that I’ve had to learn over time to ensure my cup is full. 😊 Thanks for the video!
Hi Lakesha! I know you’ll be awesome at your new school!!!
Thanks for sharing your story. To me, last year reminded me of first year as a new counselor. It was so new, different, and…interesting. I had to remind myself of these tips in order to be successful 😂
My favorite tip is about boundaries and as a person that case managed for several years I made sure not to check my voicemail or emails and to leave work at work so that my personal life Wouldn’t get consumed by work life.
The most useful tips for me is about organization and a needs assessment. I need to make sure I have a system of capturing everything that comes my way so that I can use it when the time comes for it to be useful. In the past I been caught up with receiving a good resource but not being able to use it later on because I lost the info. I feel the needs assessment will help identify what is needed today and priorities can be placed.
I do a simple google form now for collecting needs assessments because google makes the charts and data in an organized way!
And I’m glad you found a way to create work life balance. It’s necessary!
Thank you for all your tips! I'm nervous about my new role at school. I'm a Psychologist and used to work as a Psychologist but now I'm gonna be one of the counselors...
You’ll be fine! Take it one day at a time. ☺️🥳
You dont even know how helpful your videos have been for me these last few days! This is my first year as a K-5 school counselor and am currently going through a standalone PPSC program (already have M.A.) I worked in higher ed for 4 years prior and let me tell you, COMPLETELY different environments. High-key wish I had a site supervisor like you to learn the ropes from! Thank you for doing these videos.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. And trust me, I understand. Working in school counseling has its learning curves. What’s your biggest struggle at the moment?
@@counselingwithmrb The admin mainly. They micromanage the counseling team and make it very difficult for team culture to develop, among other things. My site supervisor (an admin) has virtually had no time to teach me the ropes, so I have been left to learn on my own through what little my PPSC program has taught me so far. This makes me feel like I am too under-equipped to properly help our students at times!
Thank you for this! I am starting my masters degree for this field and feel nervous but excited to get started !
Hi Andrew! That’s awesome. Let me know if you have questions.
Favorite: Get organized early on. And adjust lesson plans for each grade.
Yes! It’s so important. I still do both to this day ☺️😂
I am so glad that I found your channel! I am a Counsellor in training.
Great! Let me know if you have any questions.
Great tips I guess if I had to decide which one resonate with me will be give yourself Grace and self care. Enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you! Are you an educator? 😊
@@counselingwithmrb you're welcome. Yes, I'm a 1st year school counselor (elementary).

@@reganstandlick7520 great suggestions! I’ll work on some ideas over the summer. Thanks
All the best for the upcoming year..stay well
It’s going well! How about you?🤗
This is awesome! I am high school based therapist possibly transitioning to a middle school counselor role next year. The school is a brand new school and I would be their first school counselor! I will have to build the program from the ground up😅. I'm excited but so nervous!
You got this! I gave a few videos to help build your program. Let me know if you have questions.
@@counselingwithmrb thank you, I will! I've been binging your videos ❤️

@@Huedtunes thank you!☺️☺️
This was so simple and helpful. Thank you so much sir. Wonderful tips. God bless you.
Glad you enjoyed the video☺️
Thank you so much for these tips. I feel so much better preparing for my first year.
Definitely! I’m so happy to hear that. If you have any questions or need anything, please feel free to reach out. I have a video I’m sharing Wednesday that will talk about the meet the counselor presentation.
Hope you watch it!
I’m new to being a school social worker this year in a behavioral/alternative school. It has been challenging but I like how you mentioned to give myself some grace. I’m always hard on myself and it’s true that no matter what you do, someone is always going to critique what I do. But I need to learn that whatever anyone else thinks, the student comes first. Thanks for the tips!
Hi Melissa! Learning to give yourself grace is one of the most important lessons in my opinion. Our job is so important but the load can be heavy. Take care of yourself ☺️
Thanks for this. I love your calm demeanor.
Thank you! ☺️☺️
This was the best video l agree self care is important!☝🏾🤩
Thank you for sharing your favorite tip! Self care is a MUST!
So happy to come across your channel! I currently in grad school to be a school counselor and so very excited!!!
That’s awesome! Let me know if you have questions!☺️
I just found your youtube channel. I'll be a school counselor the next 2 months and your videos really really help me to prepare myself. I hope you won't stop to make a new videos. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for the encouraging words. Good luck! You’ll be great ☺️
Setting “boundaries “ and “self care”
We’re the best favorite things
Boundaries and self care are super important 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
School counselor in training, thank you!!
That’s awesome! I’m here if you have questions.
This was so great!! Thank you for all these tips!!!
Thank you!☺️
Thank you for your suggestion. I like it all
Thank you!☺️
Awesome tips. Thank you so much!
Hi Linnette, Anytime! What was your favorite tip?☺️
Great tips! My favorite tip was to participate in grade level and leadership meetings. This is something I didn’t do in my first year. Now going to second year, I will make sure to do so, but my concern is that in my school some teachers have cliques and they don’t want another individual in their meetings. I will try this year to see how it will go😃.
Even going to their meetings takes time and preparation. It helps if you start building a trusting, genuine relationship with teachers. ☺️
Awesome job!
Thank you! Are you already a School Counselor or hoping to become one?
Great video! Thank you so much for taking this on and being a role model for emerging professional in our oh-so important profession!
Thank you for taking the time to watch it and comment! I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for those valuable tips. I am a new counselor here struggling to implement the counseling program in the school. If you could do a video on how to integrate the counselling programs and activities in the school setting or if you could share your current practices regarding the programs related to social-emotional , academic and career, it would be of much help.
Yes! I plan on heavily focusing on this during the summer ☺️
Thank you for this information! I love the simplification of what is expected of a school counselor overall 🙌🏼
👋🏾Yes! Are you currently a counselor or aspiring to be one?
@@counselingwithmrb i am aspiring to be one, I am currently completing my masters in school counseling for the state of Florida
@@Nelsiss007 that is so awesome! I’m excited for your journey. Let me know if you have questions ☺️🥳
@@counselingwithmrb will do! Thank you for your insight 😃
Thanks for impacting- very helpful tips 👌
Thank you! It always brings me joy to know that I helped someone. How is your school year going?
Thank you so much for creating this video for future counselors. I am so appreciate for the time you spent sharing relevant and helpful information!! I will be taking it with me in my future work. I hope you are having a wonderful school year!
Thank you! I’m glad you found this video helpful. ☺️
Loved all of the tips! Setting boundaries was the one I needed to hear, but also the one that will be the hardest for me to do. Thanks for the videos. As a new counselor, I need all the tips :)
Hi Shelley! Thanks for watching. And yes, setting boundaries takes practice. I just opened my laptop and my work email was still up and for a split second I was tempted to read my email. Then that voice in my head said “nope, close it” 😂
What grade level do you work with?
As always! Fabulous!
Thank you! 🤗
You are amazing for taking the time and share your thoughts and knowledge!
Thank you! I’m honored to help ☺️

Wow a male school counsellor.A big shout out from Jamaica.
Hi there! Thanks for checking out my channel 👋🏾
Omg..! You are amazing.. You should be my mentor..!
thanks these are great tips. I'm not a new counselor ( been in the mental health field for 20 years) but I'm a new school counselor (fingers crossed).
That’s awesome. That experience will definitely help you. Be sure to talk about that in your interviews so you can clearly speak to how you can support students with their mental health. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
May you include a video of what material, study guides, or resources you used to pass the school counselor Texas
I’ll research it and make a video. I took the praxis in 2010 😱😂😅
@@counselingwithmrb What sounds harder to your ears? 1. Certified Public Accountant or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
@@mathematicaleconomist4943 not sure 🤔 maybe stats? What do you think?
@@counselingwithmrb I assume the stats sounds harder to most people. You live in the USA. Is that correct?
Insightful tips. Subscribed!
Thank you for watching! I’m always here if you have questions. I’m passionate about helping other educators.
Thanks for the great tips. I have a question about the academic resources. Where and how can I get good evidence based resources to build materials on different issues such as anxiety, bullying ….so on.
I have a video coming up about this. I’ll tag you once it’s done ☺️
Thank you for all of these great tips!!!! I'm a substitute teacher starting my masters program this fall for school counseling. This is greatly appreciated and encouraging. I'm also 51 but super excited to take my passion to another level and help others as a counselor. Great job!!!!!
I’m proud of you for taking the steps to further your career and reach for your goals! Age doesn’t matter! Let me know if you ever need anything. YOU GOT THIS!🎉🎉🎉
@@counselingwithmrb thank you so much and these days we all need kindness and encouragement ...appreciate it! I'm thankful I work for a very supportive district and love the experience and variety of job placements that I know will help in the future to help teachers ...support staff...and students:) my greatest passion is for the the kids that don't hear a proud voice for not only what they do but who they are becoming.
@@deannatonn8570 yes that’s one of the reasons I became a counselor. I have witnessed students who come from environments where they received only love from school staff. It’s my duty to continue to serve our students, staff, and community!
Congrats on entering the program! I am in my final year of my masters and coming from a healthcare background so I’m really starting from scratch 😄.
We will do great things!
@@sarahchapie673 that’s awesome Sarah! Let me know if you have questions or need anything!
Great video, John! I see we are in parallel fields (school and mental health counseling). I'm looking forward to your insights! *(subscribed)*
Thank you! And yes mental health is extremely important now more so than ever!👏🏽
Thank you for this. I’m a new school counselor, how do I get age appropriate materials for my kids?
What grade level? And do you mean worksheets or fidget type materials?
Set boundaries!
Super important tip👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾
hello, sir john. i rarely see counselors for high school students here on youtube. i was wondering if you could suggest guidance lesson topics for high school students. thank you!
Enjoyed your video. It's great to see a male school counselor. Very encouraging. Do you happen to have videos on what type of classes we should expect to take when entering into a Masters degree program, internship experience and the required tests to receive a license?
Hi Roman! Thank you. Most programs feature classes on theories, and child development. I would focus heavily on lesson and program design. As far as internships, I’d recommend visiting elementary, middle, and high schools. Let me know if you have other questions.
I live an hour from my school too! Def some time for self care
I usually listen to podcasts on my drive ☺️
I am grateful that I do not live an hour from my job. its just 30 mns.
@@cs0779533 yea..sometimes I enjoy the commute because I listen to podcasts. ☺️😂
Great Advice!
Thank you Ebony! I’m hope one or more of the tips resonated with you.☺️
Great video. I’m a Day Treatment Associate Professional in a clinical facility and I work with kids and do interventions with them. I always wondered how my experience could help as a school counselor since I want to go to Graduate school for it.
You should definitely look into it. I’m sure many of your skills are transferable and needed in education.☺️
I never knew the 2 schools I went to had counselors I only need one in my second school because I needed to switch classes (which they didn’t bother to help me with btw) like they never came around to see or talk to any students until senior year to talk about college
I’m sorry that was your experience. Mine was very similar which is why I became a counselor.
I like this video. I wish the music was lower but still I am a fan.
Thank you for the feedback. It was one of my earlier videos and I’ve since learned how to control the volume on the music. ☺️☺️
Hi Mr.B! Is the job security something that is a pro or con when it comes to being a school counselor? Thank you!
There’s lots of job security depending on where you live and work! It’s a pro because you can leave or retire when you choose!
This position doesn't pay well but it's rewarding. I'm looking into a master program for this
Honestly it depends on where you live. I make REALLY good money as a counselor living in Texas. ☺️ I do know that some states don’t pay well though.
My best friend is working towards becoming a school counselor ❤
That’s awesome! We need more counselors. Please share my channel with them.
@@counselingwithmrb I shared the video with her 🥰 I thought it could be helpful.
SO GOOD.

I live the Bahamas and I will be working in public school systems where there are many students and my desire is to wokr with my student s and teachers alike
That’s awesome! What grade level would you like to work with?let me know if you have questions☺️
@@counselingwithmrb I would like to work with elementary (primary 1 to 6 grade). In the Bahamas most elementary schools (primary school) starts from grades 1 to 6 but some of our schools have preschool in them. Is there a way to get tips or mentor with you
thanks my guy
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video. As a school counselor are you a 12 or 10 month employee?
I’m an 11 month employee because I’m a middle school counselor. We make student schedules in the summer 😊
@@counselingwithmrb Ok, thanks. Also how long was your program? I currently have a MS in Clinical social work. I’m looking to transition but don’t want to attend a lengthy program?
When you become a counselor did the count your years of esperance as a teacher towards your salary,or did you have to start from zero years of experience on the pay scale?
Yes they counted my years as a teacher and assistant principal but it varies by state I believe. ☺️
I am considering going back to school for a school counseling degree. In your opinion, is the job market good?
It really depends on your area but there are lots of vacancies in education right now ☺️
@@counselingwithmrb Thank you for your prompt response. Appreciate it.
@@matttttt63 no problem! I’m here if you ever have questions.
My favorite part was about utilizing lunch duty to build relationships and ask random questions to casually learn about students.
Yes I used to hate lunch duty my first year as a counselor. Now I love it! It’s a great way to see the kids in their “natural state.”😂
All great advice! It is so much harder to learn student's names when they are wearing masks, I can't tell them apart quickly. Can't wait until it's safe for them to be unmasked again!
That is definitely a barrier. 😂 I usually try to find other ways to identify them like their hair color or length ☺️
When I was 10 years old and in the 4th grade, I lied to my elementary school guidance counselor by telling her that Daddy was physically abusing me. When I was 26 years old, I felt extremely guilty about lying to her, so I decided to write her a letter. I told her that Daddy never hurt me and that all he ever did was love me. When my elementary school guidance counselor got the letter, she called the police department. The police department then called my house. A handsome young policeman came to my house. When he asked me about the letter, I told him that I felt extremely guilty about lying to my elementary school guidance counselor when I was 10 years old and needed to tell her the entire truth. I was sitting next to Daddy the entire time while holding his hand. The handsome young policeman told me that my elementary school guidance counselor already knew that I was lying to her and that I had already been forgiven a very long time ago. He then asked me how I found her address. I told him that I used US Phone Book.
SETTING BOUNDARIES! Hardest thing to do for me as a new school counselor. There will always be someone that doesn't think your doing things right...Be confident and advocate for those kids.
It definitely takes time. Trust me😉😂 what grade level do you have?

If you get a masters in educational counseling with PPS can I be a counselor in any state?
Every state has different standards. Check with your state’s board of education ☺️
My counselor submitted my Common App forms weeks late, almost a month. I may not be considered for 10+ schools because of her doing this. What should I do? I am so angry and frustrated.
I’m sorry to hear that. I’m not familiar with Common App. Are you in high school?
