Psychology and Counselling
The guidance and counselling is the process of helping individuals discover and develop their educational, vocational, and psychological potentialities and thereby to achieve an optimal level of personal happiness and social usefulness. Guidance
and counselling services are part of a broader delivery system designed to enhance the success of all learners. The school counsellor establishes and maintains an ongoing professional, collaborative relationship with school sta , clinicians, and other service providers who work with students in the school. Colleagues and professional associates are consulted and
provided with professional information related to the educational success and well-being of students who are also in their care. Educational planning and services are coordinated in the best interest of the student. Information is shared with adherence
to appropriate guidelines for con dentiality. Guidance is a universal activity in which many persons and organizations take part. It is a orded to individuals by their parents, relatives, and friends and by the community at large through various educational, industrial, social, religious, and political agencies and, particularly, through the press and broadcasting services. A part of such guidance may be the giving of information that enables others to increase the scope of their exploratory behavior. The guidance counselor, for example, may provide information about a person’s own abilities and interests as determined by psychological tests or about educational opportunities and the requirements of various occupations.
