Pastoral counseling is a form of counseling that integrates psychological principles with spiritual beliefs and practices. It is typically provided by clergy members or other religious leaders who have received training in counseling techniques. Pastoral counselors often work with individuals or couples who are experiencing emotional, relational, or spiritual difficulties, and may use a combination of therapy techniques and spiritual guidance to help clients address their issues. The goal of pastoral counseling is to provide support, guidance, and healing to individuals in a way that is consistent with their religious or spiritual beliefs.
