What counselling and professional competence mean at Chetana

Clear expectations around counselling, professional preparation and client-centred support.

Counselling

Counselling is the activity of a counsellor or professional who counsels people, especially on personal problems and difficulties.

Counsellor

Counsellor is often used as an umbrella term for both licensed clinicians with advanced degrees and those offering other forms of counselling.
Counsellors work with the client to determine the best way for the counselling session to provide preferred outcomes.
Professional counsellors require appropriate advanced training, competence and, where applicable, licensure to operate within their scope of practice.
Counsellors can draw on a broad field of approaches and models for counselling.

Competencies of a counsellor

Experience and competence are important when choosing a professional counsellor.
Counsellors are trained to provide guidance on personal, social or psychological problems.

Mr. Suri Babu Saragadam brings experience across education, school psychology, counselling, career guidance, training and institutional leadership.
