It is imperative for a counselor not to impose their personal beliefs and values on a client. Counselors build relationships with their clients, although not equally yoked as the counselor holds the position of authority and influence. Each person in the client-counseling relationship establish certain boundaries to protect their privacy, however the counselor’s objective is to gain transparency from the client. A counseling setting often creates a vulnerable atmosphere for the client, a setting in which the counselor should be aware of how their interactions with the client will ultimately be interpreted. The counselor must maintain a level of professionalism as to not confuse the client into believing the relationship has crossed the line

The theories of counselling, listening skills sessions, offered the opportunity to learn and exercise the practical application of listening skills. Such skills involved actively listening to the speaker and asking forth bringing questions. The knowledge attained throughout the theories of counselling module, was applied in these practical sessions. Even though the students in these listening skills sessions were supposed to work in mock therapeutic session, it was made clear that these exercises did not provide the necessary training for the students to become professional counsellors. Nevertheless this does not mean that these practices were not helpful. We were provided the possibility to gain a better and newer understanding of the subject by practicing our listening skills and conducting these practical exercises. While we took on the role of an active listener, it was important to show a deeper understanding of both positive and negative features that the speaker had to deal with in the speaker-listener interaction. It was important that the listener made the speaker feel comfortable with what they were saying and that active feedback was provided to the speaker.

Hence the study highlights on the role and importance of guidance and counseling. According to Corey (1988) regards counseling as a process which occurs in one to one relationship between an individual troubled by problems with which can’t cope with and a professional worker whose training and experiences have qualified to help others reach solution to personal needs.

By Nnabuike (2012) the work of the teacher is to help students to learn through deliberate and

The most comprehensive definition is that by Winstanley and White (2003) who defined clinical supervision as “focusing upon the provision of empathetic support to improve therapeutic skills, the transmission of knowledge and the facilitation of reflective practice. The participants have an opportunity to evaluate, reflect and develop their own clinical practice and provide a support

The old saying says “A problem shared is a problem solved” tells us the truth. That is when things get tough and difficult or we have to make decisions in our life that sometimes we need someone to listen and hear our story so we may get a better idea of our options in life. Most people who receive and or counseling show significant improvement.
The counselor is the person who offers services of counseling and is a professional who has undergone training to acquire the skills and competency to do the job. The client or counselee is the person faced with a certain problem and needs help so that he/she may be helped to restore his/her functioning capacity (Colin, J. S & Graham, U. 1994).The goal of counseling is to establish a good relationship between the counselor and the counselee so that the problem facing the client may be easily solved (Yashwanth H.S. 2010)
