Many people will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in situation in need of counseling. In Pakistan without having a true understanding of the concept of counseling or what the role of the professional counselor entails we have made somehow a wrong image of counseling and many feel hesitant in reaching to a counselor. ‘Counseling is the process of giving guidance to person on a professional basis, to resolve especially personal, social, or psychological problems and difficulties’. In today’s busy and stress full life it’s so significant in a life from a school student who needs guidance towards career development to a well establishment Business man who suffers from stress, personal and psychological issues ,but there are namely a few organization in Pakistan that are promoting counseling. Counseling could play a vital role as it could help to make better our lives,thus Government should play it’s part in promoting counseling and thus could play a big part in single person’s life.
