Types of counselling

1. Away from home counselling:

If you have moved away from your place in pursuit of a great career and higher education then there are a lot of chances that you may take some time to fit yourself into the new place and among people from diverse places and culture. At a new place, you may start missing your family, homemade food, your culture, feel lonely and anxious, or feel the need to get motivated. You may be treated with coldness and do not feel connected at the new place. Thus, it becomes important to take the help of the expert before you get in the clutches of unwanted stress, and depression.

2. Child-parenting counselling

Child-parenting counselling has become the need of the new age parents with the kind of stressful life they lead. Today’s child is hyperactive and it is not an easy task to cope up with their growing demands each day. They show a ton of fits that might be humiliating a few times. If the child is single then it becomes more aggravated as they get all the attention since childhood. These children find it difficult to share their things and cope up with a new sibling.

Sometimes both the parents are employed leaving the child with less time and attention from the parents and then to bargain that generally parents fulfil all the justified and unjustified demands of the child making them more stubborn. In all these scenarios the parents need to be really patient with the child and need proper guidance to cope up with the situation. In this case, face to face or even online counseling services are of great help.

3. Adolescent counselling

Adolescence is an important phase in a child’s life when he/she starts exploring the new phase of their life by going through new situations every day. They want to make their own decisions, be dependent, explore new things and people, form a new opinion and sometimes these changes in their personality can be the cause of the rift between the parents and the children; as both have a different perspective towards life.

In some cases, they might not be able to express their views openly and in some cases, they may be very loud but in both the cases, a gap between the child and the parents may pave its way. As soon as adolescence enters the stage of puberty there are a lot of hormonal changes happening in their body that may lead to mood swings, anger issues, anxiety, and in that case, they need to handle stress and peer pressure, confront bullying, control ego, eating disorder and many more. Counselling can provide a lot of help in all these cases and can help in leading a smooth life.

4. Marital issues:

The disruption in marital life is not an old concept as when two people from different background come together in a life-long relationship disputes are bound to arise. There may be a lot of reason behind the growing animosity between the husband and the wife. The most common of them is the interference of the in-laws or other people from outside the family, miscommunication between the two, attitude problems among the couple, impotency, anger issues, male chauvinism, irresponsible behaviour or extra-marital affairs. It’s very common to think of getting separated but counselling can help go a long way in your relationship. Thus, online relationship counselling can really change the scene for the couple and if you are comfortable then face to face counselling can also be a great choice. After the counselling, you can convey better, and resolve the issues in a positive way.

5. Elderly people counselling:

Elder people often come across a tough situation during this phase of their life when they need the support of the family the most. It is seen in most of the families that the elderly people are left alone and they feel abandoned by their own children and other family members. The people for whom they loved and cared the most and have spent most of their life thinking about their well-being leave them at this crucial stage. Apart from that, they may be suffering from some chronic disease and are not taken care of properly, disease of their spouse or dependability on others are some of the major causes of their distress. The counselling for such issues can be a boon for the elderly people and help them to have a stable state of mind in leading their life.
