We have years of accumulated experience in counseling the college youth.

Many colleges and Universities organize workshops and lectures by our consultants on topics like Study Skills, Emotional Intelligence, Value Education, Thought Management, Personality Development, Relationship Management etc.

Following are the problem areas in which students generally seek counseling support :

• Stress in adapting to the new campus environment
• Stress in adapting to the academic program
• Feeling lonely, homesick while getting used to the fellow students
• Difficulties in coping with time tables and deadlines
• Problems in accessing and managing the resources
• Family related problems including financial worries
• Difficulties in organizing one’s time and taking personal responsibility
• Deficits in communication and presentation skills
• Pre-existing personality problems or other conditions like anxiety, depression etc

Under the College Youth Guidance Program, our counselor visits the college on certain days as scheduled and presents the program to the student community. Thereafter students are encouraged to meet with the counselor or set up Skype of telephone counseling sessions as and when the need arises. All counseling sessions and conversations are kept absolutely confidential and  the faculty and the college administration have no access to information regarding consulting sessions. Even the identity of the student is kept confidential.
