What is the difference between Counseling and Guidance?

1. Counseling is a more inward analysis, whereas guidance is much more external 2. Counseling is in-depth, narrowing down the problem until the client understands his/her own problem, but guidance is broader and comprehensive. 3. Counseling is mostly on personal and social issues, whereas guidance is generally education and career related 4. Focus on counseling is not on the solution but on understanding the problem as it allows the counselor to bring about emotional change or change in feeling 5. But in guidance the focus is on finding a solution, which may bring a change in attitude of the client. Both counseling and guidance can help individuals. However, the contribution of both the counselor and client is vital towards the success of the process. Most problems can be solved with the right amount of dedication, contemplation and understanding.

What Is Islamic Counselling?

All counselling models are based on underlying philosophies about what it means to be a human being and what it means to be healthy. In our model of Islamic Counselling these concepts come from the Islamic Science of the Self (Nafsiyat), developed in Tassawwuf, an aspect of which is repairing the heart. In this framework, human beings are more than simply their bodies or their minds. When problems arise, often we can’t resolve the problem with our minds or our bodies, so we are compelled to open up our hearts in search of understanding. Islamic Counselling is about doing this with someone who is trained to listen to the difficulty of the situation, but also to the deeper potential in the person experiencing it, through powerful but subtle skills.

The Islamic Counselling Model

The Islamic Counselling model developed by Stephen Maynard & Associates derives from the Quran, the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Islamic Science of the Self.

What Makes Islamic Counselling Different?

Islamic counselling is centred in the understanding that people matter; as such it is deeply spiritual and therefore personal. There are many different models of counselling, and even different versions of Islamic Counselling, but our Islamic counselling is based on the truth that there is more to human beings than what's on the surface. We look out for your deeper spiritual centre, found in every newborn human, called the fitra. Painful experiences and the pressures of life can block out or dull the fitra. Islamic guidance and counselling is designed to help the individual to find their own fitra, to hear their inner voice, by clearing the veils that so easily cloud our hearts, allowing the light of clarity to shine. Self-knowledge is important when seeking out the fitra. Our Islamic counselling courses focus on learning not to judge nor give advice on fiqh (legal dos and don'ts) but to work with clients to help them reach their highest potential.

A Brief History of Counselling

To understand the history of counselling, we begin with the realisation that throughout the years, human beings have found comfort in sharing their problems or telling their story to others. The old saying ‘ a problem shared is a problem halved’  tells us one universal human truth: that when things get difficult or we have to make decisions in our life, sometimes we need someone to listen and ‘hear our story’ so we can get a better idea of our options. Counselling history can be traced back to tribal times where people would came together in a group and share their experiences and sometimes their dreams. As civilisation developed, religion offered a type of counselling, usually by priests who would listen and advise parishioners on their problems (they still do). In the  1890’s, German neurologist Sigmund Freud developed a theory later to be called psychoanalysis, which allowed individuals to tell their problems to a ‘psychoanalyst,’ an individual trained in interpret...
