Abstract: A complicated and frequently misdiagnosed personality illness is narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). A variety of symptoms, such as grandiosity, a lack of empathy, and a desire for adulation, are present in people with NPD. These symptoms can significantly affect a person's personal and professional life and make it difficult to establish and maintain good relationships. Even though NPD is a severe condition, it frequently goes undetected, and those who have it may not even be aware of their symptoms. This essay examines the characteristics of NPD, possible repercussions, and the function of counseling in the management and treatment of the illness. The paper reviews the existing literature on NPD and counselling, with a focus on psychotherapy and its effectiveness in treating NPD.
