STUDENT COUNSELING SERVICES, SKNMCGH
In life many personal decisions are required to be made and problems solved through discussions. These discussions usually can be with friends or family. However, at times it is appropriate to seek help away from one’s familiar daily environment. Seeking help through counselling is about making a positive choice to get help by talking confidentially with a knowledgeable trained listener.
Counselling is a process that attempts to help you focus on and understands more clearly the issues that bother or trouble a person. The Counsellor’s role is to offer support and understanding, and to listen and respond in a non- judgmental way. They do not solve your problems, however! But they do support your decision making. It is always helpful not to wait until a problem has grown more serious. More serious problems are managed by Psychiatrists with the help of appropriate medication in addition to counselling.
