Counselling
At a simpler level, the Wellness centre team will help students with issues related to campus life, academics and hostel life. Every student will have support in dealing with issues concerning them. Be it peer pressure, academic worries, living independently, loneliness, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, or anything that is a hurdle to a student’s learning journey – the wellness centre team will be glad to help through counselling.
Counselling provides an opportunity for individuals to learn to make better choices, improve interpersonal skills, develop confidence and improve their academic outcomes. In one-on-one meetings with counsellors, students are encouraged to explore their issues, be expressive, examine beliefs and ways of thinking about their present situations, reflect on patterns of behaviour, and work towards making healthier and happier changes.
