certain major problems of the individual (less experienced) i.e.
educational, vocational, personal etc.

Guidance is a concept as well as a process. As a concept

individual. As a process guidance helps the individual in self
understanding (understanding one‘s strengths, limitations,
and other resources) and in self-direction (ability to solve
problems, make choices and decision on one‘s own).
