Pshycology

Based on Hellenic Psychological Society "Counselling Psychology is the applied branch of psychology that facilitates lifelong personal and interpersonal functioning, focusing on emotional, social, vocational, educational, developmental issues and concerns related to health. Its central focus is on ordinary and normal developmental issues but also in dysfunctional and unusual problems related to the individual, the family, the group or the organizational human experience. It helps people with physical, emotional and mental disorders to improve their quality of life, to eliminate discomfort and/or disorder, to resolve the crises they face and thus increase their ability to live a functional life. It is considered a branch in psychology that promotes the setting of personal goals and offers positive models according to which one can enhance its strengths and get for him/herself the opportunity for optimal functioning and quality of life. Counselling Psychology emphasizes the importance of social life for the individual and focuses in his/her ability to adapt to the environment".
