Counseling is a process where clients are helped in dealing with their personal and interpersonal conflicts by a third-party therapist. It allows an individual to have an opportunity to improve upon their understanding of themselves, including their pattern of thoughts, behaviours, feelings and the ways in which these may have been problematic in their lives. It also helps to examine how to tap into existing resources or develop new ones that enhance their lives and relationships. Types Of Counseling “Counseling” is a very broad category that encompasses many opportunities in any number of counseling subfields. Counselors and therapists help their clients in a variety of ways, depending upon the type of counseling they need. Few of the types of counseling are as follows

• Individual Counseling

  Individual counseling is a one on one counseling process of a patient (Native) and a trained psychiatrist, psychotherapist or psychologist, where the patient seeks to achieve certain goals. It is mainly a process of self-discovery and overcoming your problems, where a person works out his/her issues under the guidance of an expert. Individual counseling is popular because it provides the setting for a patient to talk openly about his/her problems and disclose his/her feelings, without fear of being judged. Individual counseling helps patients explore themselves better and work out their issues, and basically discuss issues which they may not be comfortable discussing with others.

• Relationship & Marriage Counseling

  As the name suggests, relationship counseling is the counseling that the parties of a relationship undergo, in order to resolve relationship issues and foster better relationships. Typically, relationship counseling involves couple therapy, which is a subset of relationship therapy, where partners involved in a romantic relationship seek therapy, however relationship counseling is not confined to those involved in a romantic or sexual relationship. It could be relationship counseling between parents and a child, boss and an employee etc. Marriage counseling is counseling of parties to a marriage, either before marriage or after marriage. It could be for a specific problem, or to remove the general toxicity of a relationship.
