Importance of Counselling: “Emotional well-being is
just as important to us as Breathing is”
1. Promoting Mental Health: It is a proactive approach to promote mental
health.
By providing a safe and confidential environment for students to express their
thoughts, emotions, and concerns there is always a need for a Counsellor. By
addressing issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem, a
counsellor can help a student to build resilience, coping strategies, and foster
self-esteem. In turn, this contributes to improve the academic performance and
overall well-being of a student.
2. Emotional Support and Personal Development: Counselling offers
invaluable
emotional support to students who have been experiencing challenges at home,
school, or within themselves. a A patient listening ear, empathetic guidance,
and practical advice will enable the students to navigate difficulties
effectively. By addressing personal issues, it teaches essential life skills,
and empowers students to develop resilience, decision-making abilities, and
establish healthy relationships.
3. Academic Success: The connection between emotional well-being and
academic
success is complementary. Students who are struggling emotionally often find it
challenging to concentrate, engage in learning, and perform to their full
potential. Hence, counselling interventions address underlying emotional
barriers, by equipping students with effective coping mechanisms and study
skills.
