Offering Counselling Opportunities
Spoonbill Ibis
I am a Counsellor In Training at the PARIVARTHAN COUNSELLING, TRAINING & RESEARCH CENTRE (http://www.parivarthan.org/),and am part of their flagship one year training program – “Basic Skills in Counselling”. I am training on providing counselling support for adults on any issues & challenges that they may be dealing with in their life.
I would greatly appreciate if you can pass this message to your friends and their friends, and anyone who would be interested in wanting any counselling support or just a platform to be listened to attentively, without being judged. This will help the individual (called client here) to unburden him/her-self of his/her troubled world.
I believe in the power of talking to a trained empathetic listener. Sometimes, we may be grappling with major issues in life and sometimes, even everyday life can bring up so much for us. The counselling process can help one get in touch with oneself and derive personal growth.
This is purely done on a volunteering basis. This will benefit me, to hone my skills of becoming a competent counsellor.
The counselling is going to be extremely professional and will help the individual explore him/herself, where this will be a journey made together with the counsellor and counselee to help address the issues/concerns or conflicts. The counselling sessions will provide clarity; help the individual to deal with their areas of concerns. The counsellor will support the counselee to choose and implement actions through constructive change.
The framework of the counselling:
Complete Confidentiality: The sessions, identity of the individual, information shared will all be under strict confidentiality. There will be NO breach of information.
Each session will be 30 minutes each, and the session will be Audio recorded (only if volunteer permits), where ONLY my supervisor will listen to the tapes to help me fine-tune my skills. The focus of the supervision will be much on my skills and learning growth,and not on the identity and information of the client. The Audio tapes will bedeleted soon after the supervision with my supervisor.
The identity of the individual will be protected, and only initials/ name change will be used.
Only One session, but more to help the client:
To start out with there will be only one session per client, but given the area of concerns, I would be happy to work with the client for multiple sessions until the client is comfortable, has explored him/herself well enough to respond to his/her world.
Who are eligible for this session: The clients Must be any adult of any socio-cultural/educational/economic background. I would be happy to engage with the elderly, senior citizens too.
Language criteria: The counselling will be done in English or Hindi. The clients must be able to communicate comfortably in either of these two language.
Time and Place of counselling: I would be willing to be accommodative of the client’s requirements with respect to time – would be willing to conduct the sessions even on Saturday and Sundays.
On weekdays (Monday – Friday) the sessions can be held in Parivarthan, Indranagar. I am still in the process of working on other locations to conduct the counselling.
Professional Fees: There is NO fees charged for the counselling session.
