Counseling is the process of interaction between counselors and clients that aim to help clients overcome the problems encountered in their lives.
Counseling can be done by various kinds of professionals who have competence in counseling, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and others.
Counseling can be done individually or in groups, depending on the type of problem faced by the client.
Counseling not only helps clients overcome the problems being faced, but also help clients improve their overall quality of life.
Counselors must have empathy abilities, listen well, and be able to provide support and motivation to clients.
Counseling can be done in various contexts, such as schools, clinics, hospitals, and others.
Counseling can also be done online, via telephone or video conference.
Counseling is not only for people who experience psychological or emotional problems, but also for people who want to improve interpersonal abilities or overcome problems in their social relationships.
Counseling can help clients identify and understand unhealthy mindset and behavior, so that the client can change it to be more positive and productive.
Counseling not only provides direct solutions to the problems encountered, but also helps clients develop skills and strategies to overcome future problems.
