Giving tips on counselling techniques to various counsellors & psychological experts, Dr. Kumar stressed that the counselling session should not exceed more than 40 minutes. "The sittings & sessions, including the attention span, should be of 20-40 minutes & then they should be repeated," said the psychiatrist.
Points Disscussed:
- How to assess the individual coming for counselling?
- How to develop therapeutic relations with the patient?
- How to create emotional ventilation between counsellor a & student to help ease his/her strain?
Psychological experts also pointed out that counselling sessions were like a pyramid of which parents were the base & should counsel their children. However, 80% of them 're counselled by their teachers. "Out of the total, 15% of the students also require a counsellor who can help them deal with their problems & 5% 're special cases that require the support of a psychiatrist," maintained the experts.
It was also advised that a school with more than 500 students should 've at least one counsellor & a team of 10-15 counsellors should 've a psychiatrist to head them.
