How and when can we use individual and group counseling?

Counseling is defined as a form of psychology and therapy that focuses on general and general development issues as a function of human experience. Unfortunately, many people think that psychology, treatment, and counseling are the same and related to crazy people. That is one of the ideas I hope to challenge.


Counseling focuses on common development issues – cases that a simple hand or foot can resolve before it becomes a problem. This includes but is not limited to:


• Group counseling

• Family counseling


Purpose and Environment

The purpose of counseling is to assist those who need it. Accept that ‘part of prevention is about a pound of treatment.’ Counseling is intended to help people before the issue escalates to a pathological level.


Counseling comes in many forms, depending on the nature of the issue.


Individual counseling is counseling focused on immediate or immediate personal concerns. For example, individual counseling may include:

  • Counseling and planning.

  • Grief after the death of a loved one.

  • Coping with issues at work before they become serious.

Group counseling is counseling with many people who are experiencing similar concerns. The strength of group counseling is that if you have 3, 5, or 10 people all facing the same issue or issues, they can work together.

Family counseling is counseling that focuses on the changing family environment, immediate concerns, and the near future. Family counseling, which includes family members, is similar to group counseling. Matters affecting the family, such as illness, death, or just a misunderstanding, may need family counseling.


You can benefit from the individual counsel


Various situations, such as:


• You feel ‘stuck’. Health is generally good, but you feel you can be so much more ‘you.’

• You do well, but some conflicts and issues worry you

• You notice certain things about yourself and your behaviour that you may not understand, dislike, or say, ‘This is not me, or I want to be.’

  • You are facing some difficulties where you can get help from your regular sources. Do you think they can be biased / judged or feel misunderstood?

  • You find yourself worrying and finding it difficult to understand why or how you can control it.

  • You have challenges with certain relationships at work or outside, and you want to understand how you can help yourself.

  • You find something about yourself, and it worries you.

  • You have lost something and find it difficult to get back.
