Counselling
Online Counselling:
It’s Easy to Talk Online!
The pandemic has disrupted the rhythm of normal functionality forcing people to stay indoors and maintain social distancing. However, the paradox is that self-isolation which is critical for saving lives from the impact of this infectious disease is also causing feelings of deep anxiety and loneliness which are as damaging to both life and health as the potentially serious disease itself. Not being able to connect in person, and carry on functional activities in a normal manner is a signal to the mind that all is not well. Perceiving a threat response, the mind scurries in all directions to look for ways that can re-establish a sense of normalcy and restore safety.
Connect provides online counselling support services for parents, children and adults in this unprecedented time of crisis.
Anyone with access to the internet or phone can seek an appointment with a therapist who will listen to your story with sensitivity, care and concern.
Benefits of Online & Tele-Counselling
Anonymity
Some people are not comfortable with the traditional model of a face to face, in-person psychotherapy. They find online counselling a safer option putting at rest their concerns for bias of gender, age, race, caste, religious ethnicity or physical appearance. For few it may feel less stigmatised.
Flexibility
Individuals can schedule an appointment with the therapist at a convenient time keeping in mind their personal constraints of having to attend to office, an ailing family member or small children.
Accessibility
It comes as an easy solution to those who are unable to leave their home for reasons of age, mobility, accident, or any other constraint.
Affordability
We provide online counselling at comparatively a lower rate. Also, it saves the individual the cost of commuting to the therapist’s office.
Variant Ways to Communicate
Individuals can schedule an appointment with the therapist at a convenient time keeping in mind their personal constraints of having to attend to office, an ailing family member or small children.
Wider Geographic Outreach and Confidentiality
You may choose to communicate with the therapist via e-mails, messages, Skype, or web chats.
Individual In-Person Counselling
Connect offers individual counselling services for people in distress which maybe caused due to an intrapersonal or interpersonal conflict which impacts decision making and keeps the person from living a happy and fulfilling life.
Counselling gives the client the opportunity to talk with a trained professional about particular concerns that worry them, and look at ways of resolving these issues. It enables people to gain an understanding of themselves, develop insight of their personal strengths and limitations, work through feelings of inner conflict, improve interpersonal relationships and develop coping skills to face challenges which cannot be altered.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a form of psychotherapy that is used with children having emotional issues. Play is the child’s most natural medium of expression. It is through play that the child learns to explore his world in a safe way, understand his feelings and discover ways to deal with challenges that cause him distress. The therapist acts only as a facilitator and the play session is primarily led by the child which gives him a sense of control over his life, which in turn give him the confidence that he can manage his challenges independently.

Coffee Mornings
with Parents
Connect plans to conduct a series of regular workshops for parents, and caregivers to develop an understanding of children, their behaviour, disruptors and developmental tasks of childhood. Set in an environment of ease and comfort over a cup of coffee/tea parents come together to discuss practical, real life challenges they face with their children with a trained professional who facilitates the discussion in such a manner that parents arrive at their own solutions which fit their scheme of things.
The Coffee Morning sessions are designed on the concept of reflective parenting where they learn how to connect with their child.
