Therapy or counseling is not only for people diagnosed with mental illness. For mental illness, psychiatrists prescribe medication. Even while taking medication, a psychotherapist or counselor should focus on treating emotional and mental suffering in patients with behavioral intervention. So, a psychological counselor is a health care provider with professional training in psychology and counseling.

There are times when people need emotional support to reduce stress and resolve their problems.

In such cases, those who seek an answer to their problems need not only advice but also therapeutic care and that is to improve their psychological well-being. Client seeks the right guidance on promoting mental health, while maintaining his or her trust, privacy and dignity.

Our goal as GIOCP – “Global institute of counseling professionals”, is to provide all psychological counselors with a respectable foundation. So they can continue their services with dedication and dignity. I warmly like to welcome you to join this organization.
