There is much confusion about the meaning of psychological counseling and everyday counseling skills in social work. Psychological is useful in social work in several ways.

(Psychological) Counseling is a relationship, often between two people but sometimes between a number of individuals or groups and another person named group counselor. Regardless of the location, the counseling relationship is a special form of communication. Counseling can take many forms: individual, couple or family counseling, in organizations etc. The locations in which the counseling takes place varies from private offices to organizations. Counseling helps people: to clarify what is important in their lives, to make contact with their internal resources, to explore their feelings, thoughts and set specific goals, to have support in times of crisis, to have support in development and transitional periods, to integrate childhood experiences and reach a solution for the problems they face.

Counseling skills are required for any person who provides emotional support to a friend, colleague, client or personal development group. However, proper use of counseling skills requires the clarification of objectives that are needed to be met. Instead, formal counseling is recognized as having a professional role and refers to the specialist practices in the field. One of the most useful ways of helping other people is to be effective in listening and communicating with them in that enabling them to share their troubles and feel better. These skills are generally useful ones because they are generally applicable, not just in a counseling situation, but in a wide range if situation- this is for anybody. The counseling skills we will describe can be used by people from all walks of life and in a variety of situations. Helping others deal with day-to-day problems isn't an activity that is restricted to highly qualified professionals. On the contrary, it's an activity which occurs naturally and which we all learn from childhood onwards.
