Counseling is a consulting relationship. The counselor partners with the client or family in order to define and sort their issues, uncover the forces that may be driving the issues, brainstorm healthy solutions, and challenge them to a healthier pattern of living. The role of the counselor is to create a relationship which supports, educates, and encourages people to live and relate to each other lovingly and effectively. Counseling is always conducted with Scripture and Christian principles in mind but is not used to manipulate clients regarding their relationship with God.
