Definition of Counseling
COUNSELING — the process of guiding a person during the
stage of life when reassessments or decisions have to be made
about himself or herself in his/her life. It provides advice or
guidance in decision-making in emotionally significant situations
by helping clients explore and understand better ways in resolving
problems.
In practical terms, counseling happens when a person who is
distressed asks for help and permits another person to enter into a
kind of connection with him/her. It is indicative of someone in
search of counseling requesting time and attention from a person
who will listen, who will allow him/her to speak, and who will not
condemn and criticize him/her.

What is the purpose of Counseling?

The ultimate aim of counseling is to enable the client to make their
own choices, reach their own decisions and act on them.

Core Values of Counseling

RESPECT FOR HUMAN DIGNITY

regard, compassion, non-judgment attitude, empathy and trust.
PARTNERSHIP
● A counselor has to foster partnerships with the various
disciplines that come together to support an integrated healing
that encompasses various aspects such as the physical,
emotional, spiritual and intellectual.
● These relationships should be of integrity, sensitivity and
openness to ensure health, healing and growth of clients.
AUTONOMY
● This entails respect for confidentiality and trust in a
relationship of counseling and ensuring a safe environment
that is needed for healing. It also means that healing or any
advice cannot be imposed on a client.
RESPONSIBLE CARING
● This primarily means respecting the potential of every human
being to change and to continue learning throughout his/her
life and especially in the environment of counseling.
PERSONAL INTEGRITY
● Counselors must reflect personal integrity, honesty and
truthfulness with clients.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
● This means accepting and respecting the diversity of the
clients, the diversity of individuals, their cultures, languages,
lifestyles, identities, ideologies, intellectual capacities,
personalities and capabilities regardless of the presented
issues.

Exploring problem areas
• This involves providing a clear and deep analysis of what the
problem is, where it comes from, its triggers, and why it may
have developed.
Helping to set goals

interventions.
Empowering into action
• This means fostering action to achieve set goals.
Helping to maintain change
• This means providing support and other techniques to enable
