Counselling
Counselling takes place when a counselor sees a client in a private and confidential setting to explore a difficulty the client is having, distress he/she may be experiencing or perhaps his/her dissatisfaction with life, or loss of a sense of direction and purpose.
It is always at the request of the client as no one can properly be 'sent' for counselling.
