There are numerous definitions of
counselling, but one of the most appropriate ones is the
following:
"Counselling is an activity
freely entered into by the person seeking help, it
offers the opportunity to identify things for the client
themselves that are troubling or perplexing. It is
clearly and explicitly contracted, and the boundaries of
the relationship identified. The activity itself is
designed to help self-exploration and understanding. The
process should help to identify thoughts, emotions and
behaviors that, once accessed, may offer the client a
greater sense of personal resources and self determined
change." (Russell et al from Sanders,1998) |
