Where one of these is the name of a program in a particular institution, and the other is the name of a program in another particular institution, in most cases those would be the same basic programs, in my experience. Different institutions may organize their counselling/guidance programs in different ways, and assign different names to their functions. " "Guidance" is typically a service provided to High School students by their schools, offering help with career choices and personal problems.
