guidance counselor
A teacher responsible for career and academic guidance in Japanese schools. The term is specific to the educational context.
I consulted the guidance counselor about how to choose a university.
カウンセラー is a broader term for any counselor, including psychological or general advisors, while 進路指導教員 specifically refers to a school teacher focused on career and academic guidance.
Compound of 進路 (career path), 指導 (guidance), and 教員 (teacher).
