This article is devoted to the formation of professional competence in future teachers-psychologists. The
problem of training a competent specialist teacher-psychologist is relevant in modern society. The success of
the work of the teacher-psychologist depends, first of all, on the high level of development of his personality,
his ability to empathize with others, through the ability to productive behavior in difficult situations. The
article also provides the opinion of the scientist V.I.Dolgova, which considers emotional stability as a key
competence of a teacher-psychologist, since this competence manifests itself in all areas of professional
activity of a future teacher-psychologist and is an important component in the development of their
professional competence. It is also said that the profession of a teacher-psychologist is accompanied by
constant psycho-emotional overload, emotional tension, emotional burnout. This requires the regulation by
the teacher-psychologist of his emotional state, the presence of motivation and interest in the professional
activities of the psychological and pedagogical direction.
