What is Counseling?

Counseling is a professional relationship that helps individuals, families, or groups explore and resolve personal, emotional, social, or psychological issues. A counselor provides support, guidance, and techniques to help people cope with challenges such as mental health concerns, life transitions, or interpersonal conflicts. In schools, counseling often focuses on academic, career, and personal development, offering students the tools they need to succeed both academically and personally. The process encourages self-discovery and problem-solving skills to help clients achieve better mental and emotional well-being.
