A '''Divine Counselor''' is listed as an [[author]] of several of [[The Urantia Papers]].  Otherwise, they may be found to function in a [[judicial]] capacity throughout the [[Grand Universe]].

When we speak of executive and deliberative branches of the Uversa government, you may, from the analogy of certain forms of Urantian civil government, reason that we must have a third or judicial branch, and we do; but it does not have a separate personnel. Our courts are constituted as follows: There presides, in accordance with the nature and gravity of the case, an [[Ancient of Days]], a [[Perfector of Wisdom]], or a '''Divine Counselor'''. The evidence for or against an individual, a planet, system, constellation, or universe is presented and interpreted by the [[Censors]]. The defense of the children of time and the evolutionary planets is offered by the [[Mighty Messengers]], the official observers of the superuniverse government to the local universes and systems. The attitude of the higher government is portrayed by [[Those High in Authority]]. And ordinarily the verdict is formulated by a varying-sized commission consisting equally of [[Those without Name and Number]] and a group of understanding personalities chosen from the deliberative assembly.

Presented by a '''Divine Counselor''', a member of a group of [[celestial]] personalities assigned by the [[Ancients of Days]] on [[Uversa]], the headquarters of the seventh [[superuniverse]], to supervise those portions of this forthcoming revelation which have to do with affairs beyond the borders of the local universe of [[Nebadon]]. I am commissioned to sponsor those papers portraying the nature and attributes of God because ''I represent the highest source of information available for such a purpose on any inhabited world.'' I have served as a Divine Counselor in all seven of the superuniverses and have long resided at the [[Paradise]] center of all things. Many times have I enjoyed the supreme pleasure of a sojourn in the immediate personal presence of the Universal Father. I portray the reality and truth of the Father's nature and attributes with unchallengeable [[authority]]; I know whereof I speak.

The word '''counseling''' or '''counselling''' comes from the ''Middle English counseil, from Old French conseil, from Latin cōnsilium; akin to cōnsulere, to take counsel, consult''.

== Difference between coaching, counseling and psychotherapy ==

== Difference between coaching, counseling and psychotherapy ==

[[Coaching]] tends to be future orientated, goal focused and asks the client to be accountable to themselves. Counseling tends to be oriented in equal measure to the past, present and future as well as problem and solution focused but less on [[psychopathology]] than psychotherapy.{{Fact|date=June 2007}} [[Psychotherapy]] tends to deal more with seriously disturbed individuals such as those with [[depression]], [[anxiety]] or [[personality disorder]]. This distinction is not hard and fast however, as in both common and professional usage counseling and psychotherapy are interchangeable, whilst coaching is perceived as different and limited to sports coaching, yet includes therapeutic coaching in its realm. This leads to confusion for both customers and practitioners in a complex service industry that now includes marriage [[mentoring]], for example. The differences are usually to do with the type of training, accreditation and special interests of each type of coach, counselor or psychotherapist.

Coaching arose from management consultancy and leadership training, and has grown into traditional counseling and psychotherapy fields such as [[conflict coaching]] and [[systemic coaching]]. Coaching and counseling tend to arise from a [[humanistic]] and [[Client centered therapy|client-centered]] approach. Counselors attend to both normal social, cultural and developmental issues as well as the problems associated with physical, emotional, and mental disorders. These are nonpathologizing views of the person in context.  A vital ingredient is their view that coaching and counseling are a meeting between practitioner and client, which invites the creative possibilities of [[dialogue]] in contrast to treatment of a disorder and in [[mentoring]], a partnership of colleagues of greater and lesser experience. Many personal coaches and counselors use movement, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches in their work, usually integrating these aspects into the process when appropriate and beneficial to their client.
