which aims at helping the students to develop
themselves to the maximum possible degree in all
respects.
 Guidance is a process and technique through which a
person is able to receive help needed in solving his
personal and other problems.
 Guidance is a process through which an individual is

to his abilities and aspirations.

6.  Guidance refers to assisting the individual to
choose prepare for, enter upon, and progress
in courses of action pertaining to the
educational, vocational, recreational and
community service groups of human
activities.
 Guidance is an understanding a person and
making him understand himself, so that he
may bring about in himself and in his
environment such changes through which his
proper development becomes possible.

7.  Guidance involves personal help given by
someone; it is designed to assist, a person in
deciding where he wants to go, what he wants to
do and how he can best accomplish his purposes.
 Guidance is a continuous process for a favorable
directional influence upon appropriate social
behavior, personal effectiveness in every day
affairs, academic competence and assimilation
of right values and attitudes.
 Guidance is an assistance made available
personally qualified and adequately trained men

8.  Counseling is a scientific process of assistance
extended by an expert in an individual situation to a
needy person. Counseling involves relationship
between two persons in which one of them
(counselor) attempts to assist the other (counselee or
client) is so organizing himself as to attain a
particular form of happiness, adjusting to a life
situation or in short self actualization. It is a
relationship of natural respect between counselor
and counselee .In this private interview counselee
acquires independence and develop a sense of
responsibility. Counseling process is structured
around the felt needs of the counselee.
The main objective of counseling is to bring about a
voluntary change in client.

9.  For this purpose, the counselor provides facilities to
help achieve the desired change or make the suitable
choice. The client alone is responsible for the
decisions or the choice he makes, though the
counselor may assist in this process by his warmth
and understanding relationship. Thus counselor helps
counselee to discover and solve his personal problems
independently. .
Counseling and guidance are not synonymous terms.
Guidance is a relatively more comprehensive process
which includes counseling as one of its functions.
Counseling is a pat of guidance, not all of it. It is a
specialized and individualized part of total guidance
process. Thus all counseling is guidance but all
guidance is not counseling.
