Individual Counselling
Individual counseling provides students with one-on-one sessions with a trained counsellor. It offers a confidential and personalized space for students to discuss personal, emotional, academic, or behavioral concerns. This service allows for tailored support and intervention to address specific issues by using various psychotherapeutic approaches. Individual counselling sessions will begin only after collecting an informed consent from the students ensuring ethical practices. The first one on one counselling session will be a rapport building session where the mental health counsellor helps the students to clarify their concerns and discuss the services that are more appropriate for an individual. Referrals from other faculty members are also considered when they sense a need for special professional attention for a particular student. Mental health counsellor in VTU adhere to very strict confidentiality standards and maintain confidentiality about the fact that a student is in counselling, the information a student discloses in counselling and the counselling records.
