counseling need a license legally, but what is that practice itself? Using certain language that comes from a textbook.
The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Here is one definition:counseling need a license legally, but what is that practice itself? Using certain language that comes from a textbook.
Here is one definition:
"A counseling psychologist is a mental health professional who works with patients on mental, emotional and behavioral problems and disorders. Counseling psychologists discuss issues with clients in an intimate, thorough fashion and provide advice on the best strategies and techniques to address their problems."
No it means they need a licence that prove they are qualified and know what the hell they are talking about and are accountable for their practice so that they are not just some ratbag off the street offering what they think is a brilliant idea [but in reality not]; instead of evidence-based clinical assessment and therapies.A person can counsel without money, so being paid to help a person with their problems isnt the litmus test for a license being needed.
Does that mean a person needs a license to use certain language?

counseling needs a license legally? where did you get that from?
well no thatd be a random person offering advice - thats far from counselling
The fact you need to ask that sam is a concern for those whom you have contact with that may be in need of counselling - so my only reply to you is if someone has troubling issues to the point it is significangtly impacting on their life; by all means offer advice, but that advice should be ÿou need to speak with a counsellorWhat's the difference? What words does a person need a license to use?

Sam you could easily google and get better definitions than CF is likely to give you. The critical difference between advice and counselling is that advice offers a solution that may be informed or ill-informed. Counselling is a process of analysis and psychological assessment with therapies aiming at taking people on a carefully constructed journey to understand their own issues and to stage by stage carefully address the route cause.I love analyzing things and having the right answer for trivial topics-like definitions of words, facts on linguistics.

So advice for someone who compulsarily shoplifts would be aimed at dont do it you fool you will be jailed. Counselling will uncover its driven by anxiety and depression following an abusal childhood and then address that route cause.
no Sam - Ive said before its all about the persons education, qualifications and skill-sets that determines that they know what the hell they are doing as a counsellor; as opposed to some random ranting uninformed advice from a personSo it depends on the intent of the person giving advice?
