Guidance counsellors hold an important role in youth's educational and vocational choices, well-being and future careers.

Policy documents also promote a holistic view of the pupil and…

Carosin, Emilie; Canzittu, Damien; Loisy, Catherine; Pouyaud, Jacques; Rossier, Jérôme – International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, 2022
