Living is a process of learning to cope with increasing demands. It is a process of learning to overcome frustration, resolve conflicts, pressure, assess changes and repeatedly work out appropriate ways of meeting changed requirements. In this process, many individuals feel stressed, emotionally and psychologically burdened. Counselling is a process of helping such people through psychological skills and techniques.
This course trains individuals in enhancing self-awareness by strengthening one’s potentialities. The major objective of the course is to train the student in basic techniques of counselling, provide an introduction to psychological principles, and give an overview of emotional and behavioural issues with a working knowledge of how to counsel those in distress. As the course gives a broad overview of counselling, it enables the student to work in NGOs, schools, corporate sectors, rehabilitation centers, help lines, online counselling, de-addiction centers, and hospitals.
Child and School Counselling aims to help children cope better with their emotions, understand their problems, and develop necessary coping skills. It also helps children to make positive choices for life. In modern times, helping children and their parents to identify and manage children with problems is the need of the hour. The course trains students to identify childhood problems, gain an in-depth understanding of child psychology, and acquire working knowledge in child counselling.
Qualified child counsellors work in schools, NGOs, child guidance centers, special schools, children’s homes, rehabilitation centers for children with special needs, help lines, and online counselling platforms.
Organisational and corporate Counselling aims to help employees cope better with their stress and deal with their emotional and psychological problems.

Providing counselling to these children and their parents helps them manage difficulties and cope with academic demands.
