assessing the ideal image of a psychologist-consultant, it is more important to demonstrate the 
specifics of his professional activity. That is why, when choosing a psychologist, people focus on 
his professional qualities, education, work experience, what techniques and technologies he 
owns, etc. At the same time, his individual and personal qualities are slightly less important, but 
also important, so that he is honest, fair, responsible, sincere, and optimistic with them. 
In professional communication, it is important for a potential client of a psychologist-
consultant to be polite and, despite his mood and circumstances, always friendly with everyone. 
It can also be seen that to a lesser extent, qualities reflecting the appearance and social status 
of a psychologist are important for respondents. However, it will be nice for them to turn to a 
psychologist who has a pleasant voice and looks neat. At the same time, we found out that such 
criteria as a thin physique, a manifestation of material well-being, a well-dressed person, as well 
as shyness, are completely unacceptable for people of this group when choosing a psychologist, 
since this can affect the course of classes, the spiritual and emotional state of people, cause 
severe discomfort. 
In general, we can say that all 2 subgroups of their assessments, when choosing a 
psychologist, were divided into 3 criteria that are more or less important for them: "features of 
the professional activity of a psychologist" (28 ratings), "individually – psychological 
characteristics of a specialist" (18 ratings), "features of professional communication" (14 
ratings), all this suggests that, in general, people when choosing a psychologist, depending on the 
degree of expression of life values, consider important criteria: professional qualities, how a 
specialist conducts classes, as well as individual qualities of a specialist for each respondent. 
Consequently, we can say that respondents with egoistically prestigious and spiritual and 
moral values have the following: these people, when choosing a psychologist, chose such criteria 
as "features of the professional activity of a psychologist", this suggests that these people are 
important professional qualities of a specialist, his education, organization, how much he can 
help in the situation. At the same time, it is important for them to one degree or another when 
choosing a psychologist–consultant and how a specialist conducts a conversation, how polite he 
is, what methods he uses in his work, as well as his individual characteristics. 
However, respondents with spiritual and moral values, unlike the group with egoistic and 
prestigious values, have the appearance of a specialist and his social status in the last place, 
which suggests that it would be more pleasant for potential clients to turn to a neat, pleasant-
voiced specialist. 
There are also those criteria that are not acceptable to potential clients: in a group with 
egoistically prestigious values, these are people with pronounced feminine qualities, and in a 
group with spiritual and moral values, this is a specialist with a thin build, showing his material 
well-being, well-dressed, and also a timid specialist. The presence of these criteria will 
significantly affect the choice of people, as it is important for them to feel comfortable in the 
classroom, not to receive negative emotions, to feel on an equal footing with a specialist. 
Therefore, we can say that people with predominance of different values have different 
priorities in the perception of the professional image of a psychologist-consultant.
