Counselling is a technique that aims at preventing mental health matters from impacting someone's life by employing education and short-term treatments. You will learn about counselling and its theories, history and the role of counsellors in helping clients with their emotional and psychological wellbeing. Counselling adults requires a different approach to that employed with children due to children's inability to communicate their feelings accurately. We illustrate the techniques used to counsel both and treat them according to their respective mental capabilities.
Making a marriage work is one of the most challenging tasks in an individual's personal life.
