Fetishism is one of the varieties of Noncoercive Paraphilias. It is a sexual behavior in which an individual obtains a sexual pleasure primarily or exclusively from one specific part of a body (Crooks & Baur, 2017). Being a counselor, first and formost difficulty would be uncomfortability. Fetish do not necessarily asks for treatment until the people around them gets ambiguity or uncomfortability. First thibg counselor will do is look inside the core of fetish client. What kind of pleasue does he have from fetishism and then will try to change his perspective towards specific parts of a body. Reconditioning the fetish to enjoy other sexual objects along with behavioral modification and aversion therapy will help to reduce down the effects of fetish.

Zoophilia is another sexual behavior in which human do sexual activities with animals. If this type of a person is a client of my business (Killermann, 2017). Uncomfortability will be the first challenge a counsellor would face. Another problem for a counsellor would be having conversations with this type of client, the sound he or she would make will cause comfortability in talking to him or her. Being a counselor I wiould try to look inside the client to find out what made him zoophile, most of the times people who engage in these behaviors are often those who did not find an opposite-sex partner or having a childhood abuse memory. It is possible if client find out a suitable partner he or she will not do such things again with animals.
