Counseling

COUNSELLING ROLE

• Give advice to (a person) on social or personal problems, especially professionally.
• Assisting and guiding clients, especially by a trained person on a professional basis, to resolve especially personal, social, or psychological problems and difficulties.
• Setting aside time in order to explore difficulties which may include the stressful or emotional feelings of the client.
• Helping the client to see things more clearly, possibly from a different view-point. This can enable the client to focus on feelings, experiences or behavior, with a goal to facilitating positive change.
• A relationship of trust.  Confidentiality is paramount to successful counseling.  Professional counselors will usually explain their policy on confidentiality, they may, however, be required by law to disclose information if they believe that there is a risk to life.
