The Director of the Institute Dr. B.J. Prashantham has defined Counselling as

“A relationship between the counsellor and the counsellee characterized by trust and openness, in a one to one or a small group relationship, whereby the counsellee is helped to work through his/her interpersonal and/or intrapersonal problems and crises.”

Therefore Counselling enables a Counsellee to:

-         Mobilize  internal and external resources and  find new options in facing life.

-   Discover and develop God given inherent potentialities and lead an integrated life.

-         Make contributions for the wellbeing of his/her fellow human beings.
