counselling or psychotherapy as a personal and individual process where a trained
psychologist seeks to offer emotional, psychological and cognitive assistance to an individual
or a community to change or modify their attitude and/ or behavior so that they can cope with
certain mental illness or psychosomatic illness (Moodley & Palmer, 2014). In the globalized,

health related, developmental and organizational concerns as well. The particular article is an
