Individual counseling allows the individuals to express their emotions, thoughts and behaviors through challenging or influential memories, identifying the aspects of their lives to be changed, understanding themselves by setting personal goals and work towards their desired goal.

We identify the problems, plan interventions, evaluate and diagnose the results and inform the students to explore their habits, behaviors and feelings causing harm like substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, negative relationships giving them the time and space to work out their problems.

Students gain a different sense of happiness on getting a safe, non-judgmental and respectful environment, regaining their wellbeing and balance in their life.

Lot of patience, empathy, tolerance and preventing self-harm through self-knowledge and self- care is accepted here in our individual counselling which cannot be dealt in groups.
