When seeking admission to universities, Guidance and Counseling has been one of the best choices for candidates in UTME/DE or when changing their institutions and/or courses.
Guidance and counseling is a field of study that is concerned with helping individuals, groups, and communities in achieving their personal, educational, career, and social goals. It involves the use of various techniques and approaches to assist people in making important decisions, resolving personal or interpersonal problems, and coping with life challenges.
Guidance and counseling typically include the following areas:
- Educational guidance: This involves helping students with academic issues such as study skills, test-taking strategies, and course selection.
- Career guidance: This area helps individuals identify and plan for a career path that is in line with their interests, skills, and values.
- Personal and social guidance: This area focuses on addressing personal and social issues such as self-esteem, relationships, and mental health.
- Group guidance: This involves working with groups of people to address common issues and concerns.
- Counseling is often an important part of guidance, and it typically involves a one-on-one relationship between a counselor and a client. The counselor helps the client explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to develop strategies for addressing their problems.
