Counseling psychology

Counseling psychology is like going to talk to a grown-up friend who knows a lot about how to make you feel better. Just like how you tell your friend about things that are bothering you or making you feel sad or angry, you can talk to a counseling psychologist about those things too.

But there's more to it than just talking. Counseling psychologists are trained to listen carefully and understand what you're saying. They can help you figure out why you're feeling the way you are and give you ideas on how to cope with your feelings. They might suggest some activities that can help you feel better, like drawing or going outside to play.

Sometimes, counseling psychologists might also ask other grown-ups in your life (like your parents or teacher) to talk with them too so that they can understand more about what's going on with you. This can help everyone work together to make things better for you.

Overall, counseling psychology is about having someone to talk to who can help you feel better and find ways to deal with the things that are making you unhappy.
