Features: Counseling is a process in which professionally trained counselors are committed to establishing a therapeutic (educational) relationship with clients. They assist clients in recognizing themselves, accepting themselves, and ultimately appreciating themselves. This helps overcome obstacles in learning, work, or life, fully develop individual potential, achieve rich personal growth, and move towards self-actualization. Counseling differs from traditional education and instruction in that the facilitator and the client are equal, respectful, and understanding. They interact sincerely, face problems together, and emphasize empathy and participation from all involved parties. The facilitator does not necessarily have to be wiser than the client, but they play a role in creating a supportive atmosphere, catalyzing emotions, alleviating tension, and inspiring growth during the process.
