Personal
Counselling is a process where professionally
qualified Counsellors engage the voluntary and referred students, parents and
teachers in the Counselling Centre. While listening, learning and empowering,
the Counselling centre is committed to help the clients to cope with problem
situations of life. While helping them to experience a holding environment, the
clients are guided to change their behaviors and put them on the road of recovery.
