Counseling is a process that addresses the emotional, psychological, social and physical concerns of individuals at different stages in their lives. It focuses on life stresses and issues that affect people individually and as a part of families, groups and organizations. Counseling helps individuals cope with their mental health issues and enables them to improve their sense of well-being, mitigate distress, and resolve crisis. (Counseling Psychology, APA)
