Abstract
As surprising as it may seem, we can establish a (co)relationship between counselling and self-education. Unfortunately, there has been little talk lately about self-education and its role in self-knowledge and self-building. The study tries, in the first instance, to circumscribe the concept of self-education and then capture the ratio between counselling and the self-formative steps.
Key words: client, counselling, counsellor, self-education
