Counsellors are trained and licensed health professionals who talk to patients about their life issues and help them find solutions to their problems. Counsellors differ, and so do their therapy approaches.
Talking therapy helps patients handle various behavioural and mental issues, such as depression, anger, grief and anxiety, among others. Counsellors talk to their patients about all sorts of issues affecting their lives, and through discussion, solutions to the client’s problems are found.
Counsellors work in all kinds of settings, such as family planning clinics, technical institutes, schools, community health centres, private practices and universities. The kind of training a counsellor undergoes varies from one counsellor to another, so it’s important for clients to take the time to pick the right counsellor to provide talking therapy.
You will learn:
- What counselling is, and what it entails
- Issues that counselling can help solve
