Counseling

Counseling (spelled “counselling” outside of North America) involves the development of a therapeutic relationship between a counselor (also spelled “counsellor”) and a client, for the purpose of improving the life of the client. Through a number of therapeutic approaches, the counselor aides the client in understanding his or her life and choices, helps the client to make desirable behavior modifications, helps the client to deal with emotions and provides other emotional support for the life changes that the client undergoes during the counseling relationship.
