Counseling psychology is a psychological specialty that encompasses research and applied for work in several broad domains: counseling process and outcome; supervision and training; career development and counseling; and prevention and health. 

Counseling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues. Sometimes the term "counseling" is used to refer to talking therapies in general, but counseling is also a type of therapy in its own right.
