What is Counselling?
Counselling is a process by which clients are assisted in self-recognition, self-acceptance, self-appreciation, and self-respect, in order to cope with their life's predicaments, and to reach their individual potential.

The counseling process is not to give conclusions or suggestions to clients, nor interpret their behavior, nor analyse their potential. Counselling is emphatic listening, respecting clients and comprehending their viewpoints.

Counselling Aims
•  To create lasting change by assisting clients to bravely face life's predicaments.
•  To have a positive influence on the well being of the people by helping them improve their family life.
