[Audio] As we progress through life, we come across various difficult scenarios which require us to find ways to manage them. If we do not acquire the necessary skills to confront the varied expectations and demands of life, we are likely to make bad decisions and display ineffective behaviour.

Thus, it is essential to acquire the necessary skills to control and regulate our emotions so that we can face struggles and succeed..

[Audio] Our goal as counselors is to assist people in discovering a more rewarding life; one in which they have an increased level of autonomy. In order to achieve this, we focus on facilitating an individual's utmost ability by providing them with control over their environment. We also seek to instruct individuals on how to better tend to their own needs, and how to deal with issues such as addiction. Ultimately, our objective is to aid our clients in making the necessary behavioral changes to live a constructive and purposeful life. This is the essence of Counseling, as outlined by Rodgers and other theorists..

[Audio] Counseling is all about providing individuals with the necessary knowledge and support to make informed decisions. Our focus lies in helping clients to get familiar with their strengths and aspirations, and to recognize any feelings or beliefs that could have an effect on their choices. By guiding them through the process of self-evaluation, we aim to promote autonomy and enable them to be in control of their own lives..
