What is counseling Counseling is no more than an interaction between two people in which one individual shares their concerns with another who is trained in the field of counseling. Counseling can be instrumental in the development of skills that help students effectively confront and cope with uncertainties and conflicts. Through sessions with a professional counselor, a student can clarify his or her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Sessions also provide an opportunity to learn and practice skill for healthy, proactive living.
