Historically, educational counseling is one of the activities carried out by pedagogues. This professional goes by varied denominations and performs equally varied activities in different schools and in the different states of Brazil. Such diversity deprives pedagogues of the characteristics and the true dimension of their professional tasks and creates a conflict with the various roles played by different education professionals. This paper maps the presence of pedagogues in Brazilian public schools and discusses the specificity of the educational counselor's work critically. It also shows the need of pedagogues in all Brazilian schools.

Keywords : Educational Counseling; Educational Counselor; Pedagogue.
