Counseling is a form of psychotherapy that aims to help individuals, couples, families or groups of people to better understand, cope with and overcome emotional, psychological, or mental health issues. It can help people to identify and change negative patterns of thought and behavior that may be preventing them from achieving their goals and living a fulfilling life.

​

Counseling is a collaborative process that involves the therapist and the client working together to identify the client's concerns and goals, and then developing a treatment plan to address them. The therapist will use various techniques, such as active listening, reflection, and feedback, to create a safe and supportive environment where the client can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

​

Counseling can be done on an individual basis or in a group setting. Individual counseling is a one-on-one session between a client and a therapist. Group counseling is where a therapist works with a group of people who have similar concerns.
