Supportive counseling is a type of professional help where a trained counselor provides emotional support, understanding, and encouragement to individuals facing challenges. It focuses on strengthening a person’s coping skills, improving self-esteem, and navigating life's difficulties. The counselor listens actively, offers guidance, and helps clients develop practical strategies to manage their feelings and situations more effectively. This approach emphasizes validation and empowerment, fostering a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment, ultimately supporting their overall well-being and resilience.
