Authors:Yurii Kashpur \u2013 National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Ukraine (UA)Liudmyla Lupiiko \u2013 National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Ukraine (UA)Oleksii Liashenko \u2013 National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Ukraine (UA)Vira Kuzmenko \u2013 National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Ukraine (UA)Nataliia Huzii \u2013 National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Ukraine (UA)Olena Tadeush \u2013 Boris Grinchenko Kyiv University, Ukraine (UA) Understanding Psychological and Pedagogical Counseling Psychological and pedagogical counseling represents a specialized field that bridges psychology and education, aiming to provide emotional, cognitive, and behavioral support to learners, educators, and families. It serves as a consultative process that helps individuals adapt to the challenges of the educational environment while promoting mental health, social integration, and personal growth. This article examines the methodological and theoretical underpinnings of counseling practices, emphasizing their interdisciplinary nature \u2014 particularly the connection to neuropsychology, neuropedagogy, and neurophysiology. Key Theoretical and Methodological Principles The authors propose that effective counseling must be grounded in both scientific theory and practical methodology, which together define how psychological assistance is provided in educational settings. The paper identifies several crucial foundations: These elements shape the competence and effectiveness of counselors working in educational institutions. Psychological Approaches Applied in Counseling The research identifies three dominant approaches in current psychological and pedagogical counseling: These approaches are often integrated to meet the diverse psychological and educational needs of today\u2019s learners, particularly in inclusive education environments. Counseling in Inclusive and Neurodiverse Education The article underscores the importance of psychological and pedagogical counseling in inclusive education, where students with diverse learning and developmental needs are supported through tailored psychological assistance. The integration of neuropedagogical and neuropsychological knowledge helps educators better understand how brain functions relate to learning behaviors, enabling more effective strategies for children with special educational needs. Counseling in such contexts is not merely corrective \u2014 it becomes a transformative process, fostering adaptation, resilience, and emotional intelligence. Conclusion The study establishes that modern psychological and pedagogical counseling must rely on a person-centered, scientifically grounded, and ethically responsible methodology. By combining theoretical frameworks with applied psychological mechanisms and neurocognitive insights, counselors can better guide individuals toward achieving adaptive, balanced, and fulfilling participation in the educational process.
