What is Counseling?

Pastoral counseling Pastoral counseling is the application or
employment of psychotherapeutic techniques by trained members of the clergy to assist parishioners who seek help for personal or emotional problems.
This area of counseling incorporates, but does not impose, religious values and spirituality. Pastoral Counselors will talk with you about your religious values and spirituality.
![Page 12: Session 2](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110220/546b6d60af79599d7d8b646e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Is "pastoral counseling" different from "Christian counseling?"
Pastoral counseling incorporates religious values, prayer and reading from the scripture together with professional counseling teaching, science and techniques.
Christian counseling generally does not incorporate the scientific or professional teachings and relies more on a strictly Christ-centered approach to healing.
YES

The relationship between pastoral care and pastoral counseling is intertwined, emphasizing the importance of helping people at various levels: providing support, encouragement and direction.
Within the church pastoral care operates as an initiation (immediate or delayed) to pastoral counseling, and likewise, pastoral counseling utilizes qualities of pastoral care in its execution (empathy, genuineness and non-judgememt).
SimilaritiesPastoral Care & Pastoral Counseling

Brief history of pastoral counseling Pastoral counseling came into being when pastors decided to incorporate psychology and psychologists wanted to incorporate religion into counseling sessions. There are hundreds of pastoral counseling agencies throughout the United States and other countries.
An association was created in 1960 by a group of local pastors and community leaders. They are also accredited to train pastoral counselors. One of the most immediate and pressing goals is to diversify the staff and client base.

Criticisms Pastoral counseling has incorporated much
from the psychological discipline (Hulme 1981) and is criticized as becoming a psychological or psychotherapeutic discipline of its own (Ibid).
Therefore the traditional religious base and approach to pastoral counseling has lost its uniqueness
