Self-service
Definition
A mode of delivery of guidance services in which it is up to the client to select the guidance services, interventions or activities s/he will use.

In some settings, this is done by the client providing information about him/herself and then being directed automatically to services that might be appropriate. This approach is particularly common where on-line guidance services are being offered as all or part of the guidance service.
