Morphology
The meaning 'guidance and advice about a person's career' is directly and transparently derived from 'career' (a person's work history) + 'counseling' (professional advice). This noun-noun compositional pattern is common and matches how many languages express professional guidance, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The term career counseling combines career, meaning a person's work path, and counseling, meaning giving advice. Imagine someone walking a path while a helper points the way at a fork; that's why it means 'help and advice to choose or develop a job'.
