| Pastoral counseling is a form of emotional and spiritual support provided by trained religious leaders or counselors within faith-based settings. It integrates psychological principles with spiritual guidance, helping individuals navigate grief, anxiety, relationship issues, and moral dilemmas. Unlike clinical therapy alone, pastoral counseling often draws on scripture, prayer, and religious traditions alongside evidence-based counseling techniques. | |
