One-on-One Counseling
In the past few years, mental health issues have seen a rise. It could be due to competitiveness fuelled by the social media, pandemic, politics, profession, studies or changing social structures. Once affected, it is usually difficult for an individual to seek help. The taboo around mental health also makes the situation worse.
My approach to one on one counselling and therapy is based on the principle of trust, confidentiality and change from within. I ensure that the person has a safe space to be able to speak their mind and seek treatment for the long term.
Understanding the root cause of the issue, being aware of the triggers, acquiring healthy habits and bringing out meaningful change in an individual’s life are some of the many goals one can achieve through effective counselling and therapy at Imprint.
Relationship (Couple) Counselling
You and your partner’s desires and aspirations, along with the responsibilities towards one another can become ground for conflict. This can sometimes grow bigger and start affecting the people involved deeply.
I provide my services to married and unmarried couples, couples where one or both partners have been unfaithful, people entering relationships with divorcees, handling in-laws and also healthy separation with minimum emotional stress for people involved. I take sessions together and separately to understand the matter thoroughly.
My method of relationship counselling employs scientific techniques such as Social Exchange Theory, Attachment Theory, Triangular Theory of Love and Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT). These methods aim to improve communication, self-awareness, empathy, intimacy, emotional availability and relation with the extended family of your partner.
Family Counselling
Our family background plays a vital role in developing our personality. A dysfunctional family background can have adverse effects on a person or family. But it can be changed with therapy and counselling.
Family bonds are strong yet gentle and the slightest factor can affect people in the family deeply. Relationship conflicts, Illness or demise of family members, raising children, generation gap, career aspirations and earning, addiction, family members from different socio-cultural backgrounds are some of the most common grounds for conflict in families.
I employ techniques and exercises from behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, cognitive therapy or other types of individual therapy to strengthen the bonding, enhance communication and understanding and develop trust within the family.
Group Counselling
When someone is suffering from mental health issues or struggles, people often isolate themself if they don’t have support. This can worsen the situation for the individual. But the fact is you are not alone! There are many people who are facing similar struggles.
Group counselling helps by giving people a safe space and voice to articulate their struggles, learn from others’ struggles and develop general empathy. This way, you not only learn that many are struggling just like you, but also are facing the struggles that you are not. This helps develop a greater understanding and perspective to grow together.
Group therapy session employ various methods such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and so on.
