What is Counseling?

Counseling is a branch of knowledge that focuses on the promotion of the mental health of people in different aspects: education, family, rehabilitation, etc. Counseling emphasizes the positive aspects of human beings and seeks what people possess instead of their deficits. The nature of counseling is the opposite of the pathological view of human beings.
