Counselling encompasses a wide range of approaches aimed at assisting individuals, families, and groups, in addressing various physical, emotional, and mental health issues. Here are the different types of counselling offered by the Department of Psychology at Dr.S.R.Chandrasekhar Institute of Speech and Hearing.
Family Counselling:
Family counselling focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts within families. It addresses issues such as parenting problems, marital discord, sibling rivalry, behavioural issues among children, and dealing with major life changes like divorce or loss. The goal is to strengthen family bonds and promote a healthy family dynamic.
Parental Counselling:
This type of counselling is specifically geared towards parents or caregivers. It helps them overcome parenting challenges, understand child development, manage behavioural issues, and strengthen the parent-child relationship. Parental counselling provides tools and strategies to enhance parenting skills and foster a supportive home environment.
Group Counselling:
Group counselling involves a small group of individuals with similar concerns or goals meeting together under the guidance of a trained counsellor. It provides a supportive environment for sharing experiences, gaining insights, and learning coping strategies. Group counselling can be beneficial for various issues such as addiction recovery, grief support, anger management, or social skills development. Participants benefit from peer support and collective wisdom.
Each type of counselling has its unique benefits and is tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals, families, and communities. By offering a range of counselling services, the Department of Psychology aims to provide comprehensive support that promotes mental and emotional well-being for all.
