Counseling is a therapeutic process by encouraging someone to just talk. Many derive great benefit from this process by talking their minds out and sharing openly and traversing through their own inwards that were left unexplored. This is a non-threatening and a safe process that often brings about greater insight and awareness about oneself and helps positive transition in a person’s life. More

What is non-directive counseling?
In this approach to counseling, you are encouraged to speak your mind without any specific prompting from the counselor. You receive help in terms of attention and a friendly attitude to articulate your difficulty on your own. The objective of counseling is to enable you to adopt a positive view of things and also to take positive measures to address your concerns. Non-directive counseling is a facilitating process which empowers people to help themselves.

What is good Mental Health?
People with good mental health feel comfortable about themselves and are able to deal with their emotions. They are able to interact with others on the basis of trust and consideration and can build responsible relationships. Finally, they are able to meet the demands of life being fully aware that problems are a part of life and have to be resolved.

Why is it so important?
Only when you are in sound mental and physical shape can you cope with the demands of a busy professional life, and balance it with your personal life. The many irritants and pressures of either work or home, can lead to sub-optimal performance and frustration which could manifest itself in destructive and negative ways. It's important that before such a condition becomes acute, it is dealt with straight on, with the help of a counselor.

How does counseling help bring about better mental health?
The counselor is an unbiased, non-judgemental person whose only interest is giving you a patient hearing, thereby empowering you with perspectives & insights to resolve issues on your own effectively.

How can I benefit from counseling?
Counseling takes the place of a close knit family who will hear you out and care for you, no matter what. Even the simple act of verbalising your concerns and putting them in perspective can go a long way in getting clarity on issues which leads to their effective management.

Any one may - to gain coping skills, to address a currently daunting problem, to outgrow from their fears and anxieties, to gain insight into their own selves and improve their own lives positively, to get the vehicle of their lives out of the rut or the muddle that is stuck in, to better their relationship with their partners and colleagues, the list can be endless – in short to address just about any issue that one finds it difficult to cope with.

All that transpires between you and the counselor will be kept confidential, unless there is a life threatening situation.
