Counseling has been a very important factor in the lives of every individual
from the moment they were able to perceive thoughts and incitements. From
parents and our grandparents who give advice to other family members, to our
elected officials who offer guidance to the people, to the experts in a certain
institutions that provide guidance, counseling appears to be a part of a culture or a
natural part on the experiences of human lives.

The ways to deliver a proper counseling was created in order to cope with
this wide range of society that we are into. Trained professional counselors were
created in order to make an insightful impact on the lives of individuals, families,
and even the community in order to help the people traverse difficult life situations
such as brokenness, loss of job, disaster, stress, school related activities, mental
health issues, anxiety, and depression. Generally, counseling empowers us to be

counselor helps the client to identify goals and potential solutions to problems
which causes disorder or problem. They tend to help improve the esteem of the
person in order for him/her to cope with the challenges.
