Counseling is a learningprocess in which individuals learn about themselves, their interpersonal relationships, and behaviors that advance their personal development (Shertzer and Stone 1976).
Counselling is an interactive process conjoining the counsellee who needs assistance and the counsellor who is trained and educated to give this assistance. (Perez 1965)
Counseling is a relational and interactiveprocess because its success does not depend on the counselor or the client alone, but both have to worktogether to achieve progress and healing
Both can helppeople with problems in living such as grief, stress, and relationship problems, but psychotherapists are more equipped to deal with severe psychological disorders
Counseling is a learningprocess, wherein through the guidance of a counselor, the client learns more about himself or herself, his or her responses to the environment, and ways of becoming a more productive member of the society
As an interactive process, counseling aims to establish a safe space for the client, and through the interaction, the client becomes more self-aware, learns either acceptance or problem-solving, and achieves new and more effectiveways of coping
