Counseling in the broad sense of the term is simply expressing your ideas about how someone can improve their situation.

Human beings are always faced with issues that involve a degree of anxiety, and this is common and normal. An obstacle or challenge is presented by choices or circumstances, and a decision must be made about how to approach the issue in order to reduce the anxiety and restore hope.

Everyone becomes a counselor for themselves or for others whenever difficult challenges arise.

The goal in learning counseling skills is to describe helping tools in a way that is intentional and that can be predicted to improve a situation faced by the person.

Some of the simplest and most obvious counseling skills involve ways of listening and speaking that help a person feel supported, understood, validated, and hopeful.
