Counselling is often described as talking therapy. It is called so, as a counselor listens empathetically to a patient and talks to him for solving the problem. Counselling is usually performed in a place with calm and solitude ambience so that the patient can feel at home and speak out his or her mind or talk freely about his or her particular problem. Counselling is a private setting between a counselor and a patient. 

Counselling is a device to delve into the depth of an individual’s inner being. Doing so empowers the counselor to encourage and cheer up the patient. A certified and accomplished counselor helps patients see life and the world through a different pair of spectacles.  He helps them find new methods to keep their end up even under adverse circumstances. The chief end of counselling is not to give someone advice but to explore his or her problem and identify possible solutions to it.  

Some of the problems that lead people to consult counselors and seek counselling are as follows:

- Loneliness
- Depression
- Academic failure
- Anxiety and stress
- Irrational fear
- Helplessness
- Financial issues
- Emotional crisis
- Language problem
- Mental difficulties
- Relationship issues
- Disturbing family matters
- Personal problems

The two most popular areas where people require counselling are:

Stress Counselling

Stress is an agitation that creeps into the mind of individuals when they fail to adjust with the changes in their environment and surroundings. Stress may be both negative and positive. Negative stress is detrimental to the normal function and health of the mind and body. Negative stress develops when you feel both mentally and physically curbed and restrained. Inability to give an outlet to your emotions and feelings gives birth to stress that lies heave over the mind. Stress also results from debility that prevents you indulging in activities of your choice. Negative stress may lead to anger, depression, loneliness, helplessness and even to insomnia, headache, high blood pressure and suicidal thoughts.     

Stress management is an effective counselling of stress sufferers. It helps them identify the fundamental causes of their stress and assess its inimical influence on their health. It brings the symptoms of stress to the surface and teaches them the techniques like energy management, relaxation methods and self assertiveness training to cope with the problem.   

Drug and Alcohol Counselling

According to doctors, alcoholism is a disease. Addiction is the longing for alcohol as one longs to drink water. Severity of alcohol and drug addiction draws the addicts near to death. The vital organs of the body are damaged and the immune system breaks down. There are several factors-familial, social, financial, mental and physical for which persons develop drug and alcohol addiction.

Nowadays various treatments have developed to treat addiction to drug and alcohol. The basic treatment is drug and alcohol counselling. Memory loss, pain, weakness and dyspepsia are symptoms of drug and alcohol addiction at the initial stage. Counselors counsel the patients keeping in mind these symptoms. Counselors delve into the depth of the addicts’ mind and find out the reason that forces them to feed on alcohol and drug. Then, they suggest some strategies to remove the reason from the root.
