PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELLING
Counselling Psychology is that field of Psychology
that involves itself in helping alleviating the emotional problems of a
client through Counselling, or “Talk Therapy.” There are three roles
central to Counselling Psychology. They are the remedial, the preventive
& the developmental roles.

Remedial Counselling
The remedial role entails working
with individuals or groups, to assist them in remedying problems of one
kind or other. In remedial work, we take the view that something is
awry, something needs to be “fixed”, or some problem needs to be solved
in the individual, couple or group. Remedial interventions may include
personal- social Counselling at individual, couples or group level.
Crisis intervention & various Counselling services for students
requiring assistance with unresolved life events are additional
examples of remedial Counselling

Preventive Counselling
The preventive role seeks to
“anticipate, circumvent, and if possible, to forestall difficulties
that may arise in the future”. Preventive Counselling may focus on what
are called “Psycho educational Programmes” aiming to forestall the
development of problematic events.

Developmental Counselling
The developmental role is also called the
educative role, which helps the individual to plan, obtain & derive
maximum benefits from the kind of experiences that will enable them to
discover & develop their potentials. An example is conducting of
study skills class for college students aimed at making good students
perform even better.
