Counseling in schools refers to the process of providing emotional, social, and academic support to students in a school setting. School counselors are trained professionals who offer counseling services to students, teachers, and parents to help them deal with issues that may affect their academic performance, mental health, and well-being.

The goals of counseling in schools include helping students develop self-awareness, coping skills, and resilience, as well as promoting positive relationships with others, academic success, and healthy decision-making. School counselors may use a variety of techniques, including individual and group counseling, psychoeducation, and referrals to outside services as needed.
