Counseling is when an individual is not able cope with any or all segments of Life.
When an individual wants someone to talk to.
There is a chaos in life and an individual find it difficult to sort it out on their own.
Anything or everything that disrupts the balance in one or more areas of life i.e. physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, or financial.
Counseling is one way of saying โNo, I am not giving up. I fell but now I am ready to be back on my feet. I take charge of my Life.โ
A counselor only assists an individual to hear their own voice. Through the course of sessions alternatives are generated and the individual becomes a confident decision maker for the Self.
We mostly feel alone and have no idea as to what to do with what life is giving us. There is no one to share or no one to trust. Trust is one of the main points for counseling. An individual finds it difficult to trust anyone and hence is never able to express out.
A Counselor is always there who is all ears to you with non-judgemental attitude. A counselor never judges you. The only aim of counseling is to help you balance your personal and/or professional fronts.
The clause of confidentiality and code of ethics make counseling a safe process of venting out.
Counseling is not only about conversation but also about finding the self through tasks, exercises, and assignments. One can never be sure of the time it will take to heal a problem, it always depends on the severity of the problem and the acceptance rate of the counselee.
Counseling is not only for individuals but also for couples, partners, and groups.
