Explain Guidance and counseling

Guidance and counseling are supportive services aimed at helping individuals navigate personal, educational, and career challenges. Guidance refers to the process of providing information and advice to assist individuals in making informed decisions about their future. This can include academic advising, career exploration, and information on available resources. Counseling is a more in-depth, interpersonal process where a trained professional helps an individual explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to overcome difficulties, improve self-understanding, and develop coping strategies. It focuses on personal, social, and emotional development.
