Counselling Services for Schools
School going children need guidance at every step to achieve direction, knowledge and realization, although they may not feel an explicit need for it. It, thus falls on the school authorities to involve psychologists who can help the children understand themselves, develop to their maximum potential and be able to function as independent and self-reliant individuals capable of solving their own problems and making their own decisions.
With the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, students all across the globe have had to undergo drastic changes in their school routines and learning processes. Psychologists have stepped in to help not only children, but parents and teachers to cope with this challenging and complicated shift.
Psychologists are responsible for several aspects of a student’s development
- Helping them out in a crisis
- Help deal with emotional issues pertaining to performance anxiety and academic pressure
- Work together with school authorities and gauge student needs
- Analyse individual student’s aptitude, cognitive and developmental acumen
The four main types of school counselling
- Individual counselling
- Group counselling
- Classroom guidance
- Collaboration and consultation
How can we help?
Usually schools have on board a single counsellor who deals with students across all levels, from L.KG to Standard XII. However, we at SCS understand that concerns faced by students vary across age groups and hence, provide psychologists to help age-specific children facing age-specific challenges.
Keeping students’ needs in focus, our team of professional therapists provide,
- Planning and strategy
- Protocol and appropriate technique
- Age-specific and student-centric approach
Our psychologists work in tandem with school administration and our therapy sessions can help classroom teachers as well by better equipping them to deal with their individual work load.
- We help them bring down anxiety and develop resilience when faced with setbacks
- Provide coping skills and problem solving strategies
- Give emotional confidence to impart education effectively
School counselling requires special expertise as it moulds young minds in a big way and helps bring about positive changes in attitudes that in turn go on to develop skills and competency to make the right choices. They help children deal with academic pressures, challenges and choices as well as intervene when the young individual is faced with other behavioural, physical or mental health challenges.
