Counseling - For whom? For what? (English)

Counseling - For whom? For what?


Ideally it is a need of everyone.

What is counseling? Is it giving advice? Convincing others? Labeling? Guiding or evaluating?                                                                                                                          
Not anything like this. Then what is it all about?

If our body has fever, we take medicines. But we neglect the needs of our mind. Negative emotions such as depression, frustration, guilt, irritability, tension take entry without our notice and then rule our mind and we are not even aware. We have no idea about what to do and how to clear these clouds. There is distancing in close relationships. Counselor helps us to solve this riddle.

Some problems are such that leave us in confusion, indecisiveness. As if you are standing at junction, there are 4 roads in front of you. Any path you take, you are bound to have problems and struggles. You are in dilemma about which way to go so that you face minimal problems and struggles and reach your destination for sure and as early as possible. Counselor being out of the problem is detached from associated emotional chaos. You can reach to a rational decision after discussion with counselor.
But then is counseling limited to remedial role only? The answer is “No”. Special efforts are taken for beauty, physical fitness but not for mental fitness simply because you are unaware about it. The scope of counseling is not limited to remedial and only during the time of stress.

We wish that we should not have to encounter with certain problems. Sometimes we can foresee some problems and are also aware that if we prepare ourselves in advance we can face the problems more efficiently and can cope well. With the help of counseling we can take certain anticipatory and preventive measures.
We are leading a happy life. But we do not know the ways to improve our mental strength, capacity, immunity to make life happier. Counselor can help you plan your life well. 


Counseling is the need of the day. It is an experience of one relationship. What you get out of it? A key to happiness? No. Happiness is not outside but lies within you only. You are just searching it in wrong places. Counselor just shows you the mirror.
