Explain the following words in relation to counselling and guidance

Theory

Different scholars have different definitions about the meaning of theory but they tend to agree on one common front. Here are examples:-

• A theory can be defined as a group of logically organized laws or relationships that constitutes explanation in a discipline (Heinen 1985)
  
• Gelso (2006) succinctly stated that ―a theory is a statement of the
  suspected relationship between and among variables
  
• Sutton and Staw (1995) argued that a theory must essentially answer the question why. It describes causal relationships and explains the ordering and timing of events in that relationship as well as reasons why a relationship exists.

Using explanations from the scholars above, I can therefore conclude that a theory in simple terms is a statement that explains relationships between and among disciplines. Either a theory can be a statement that explains why a phenomenon is the way it is.

Plato had many theories to his name

Counselle

A counselle is a subject in counselling sessions and this is a person who is being counselled by the counsellor 

Counselling

Counselling can be termed as the purposeful understanding of a person so as to provide self-understanding in that person. This translates to listening to people about their problems and offering suggestions that can offer solutions. The main aim of counselling is to make life more interesting.
Counselling may be more concerned with coping 'with crises', working through feelings and inner conflicts or improving relationships with others. 
BAC-British Association of Counselling defines corruption as: "Counselling is the skilled and principled use of relationship to facilitate self- knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth and the optimal development of personal resources" -BAC (1986) ​
​Counselling can also be described as the process in which the therapist guides the client towards personal growth and positive change through self understanding.

Counsellor

This is a person whose role is to enhance the work values, personal resources and capacity for self determination of the person being counselled [counselle].
