Counselling, also known as talk therapy or psychotherapy, is a process in which a trained and licensed professional, called a counselor or therapist, works with a client to help them understand and work through their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The goal of counselling is to help clients improve their mental and emotional well-being and achieve their personal goals.

Counselling can take many forms and can be tailored to the specific needs of the client. It can be done individually or in a group setting, and can be short-term or long-term. The type of counselling a person receives will depend on their needs and the specific issues they are facing.

Counselling can be used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as to address personal issues such as stress, relationship problems, and self-esteem. It can also be helpful in supporting overall well-being and personal growth.
