guidance and psychological counseling ne demek?

Guidance and psychological counseling (Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışma in Turkish) refers to a variety of services aimed at helping individuals overcome personal and emotional challenges and achieve their goals. A guidance and counseling session typically involves an individual meeting with a trained counselor or therapist to discuss issues related to their personal, social or educational life.

The counselor or therapist typically uses talk therapy to help clients explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and find solutions that work for them. They may also employ other therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their difficulties.

Guidance and psychological counseling can be helpful for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, stress, addiction, self-esteem issues, and more. It is often provided in schools, community centers, and private practices.

In Turkey, guidance and counseling services are typically offered by psychologists, counselors, or trained guidance teachers. These professionals must have a graduate-level degree in psychology or related field and complete an internship or supervised clinical hours to obtain a license to practice.
