Counselling is interpersonal treatment for problems in living. It involves talking with a trained professional about conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to relationship conflicts and career frustrations. Counselling provides ways to express feelings, understand patterns of thinking, gain perspective on past events and current relationships, set goals, and clarify dreams for the future. Counselling can both alleviate pain and suffering and add meaning and richness to life.

Sigmund Freud developed the first school of psychotherapy in the early 1900s. In order to tap into their unconscious conflicts, his patients were encouraged to speak freely about what was on their minds. Many psychologists and medical doctors have built upon Freud’s theories to develop other talk therapy methods, each reflecting different views of human nature. Cognitive behavioral focuses on challenging the patients’ beliefs and thoughts to transform emotions and behavior.

Nowadays, changes have been taking place so rapidly in our daily life without counselling life has become stressful, tensed and complicated. Need of counselling does not interpret that you are mentally weak or feeble. It is a social learning interaction between two people that helps the person in need to realise his/her potential and also to modify his/her attitudes, outlook and behaviour.
