• Let your friend know that you are concerned. Suggest they make an appointment with a counselor to see if we can be of help. For example, "I care about you, and I am sad to see you are hurting" rather than "You are in trouble and need help."

• Offer to sit with your friend while they make an appointment.

• Offer to accompany your friend to their first appointment, and either wait in the waiting area or go to the appointment with them.

Before attending your first counseling, it may be helpful to prepare by writing down your reasons for seeking help to make describing your feelings to a counselor more comfortable. You can talk about anything that is on your mind, however large or small you think your problem is . You might find yourself saying things you had not expected to say.

The counselor will use this information to better understand your problem.

Counselors are not advice givers or problem solvers rather they are professionals trained with skills and competencies that facilitate an individual to gain awareness, growth and transformation through a warm and understanding relationship. There is no magic solution or specific advice. Every individual and their life situation is unique and therefore there can never be a "one size fits all " solution.

Counselors and psychologist typically focus on the psychological, emotional and sociological aspects of helping a person grow. Psychiatrists typically grow on the biological aspects of a problem.

In our experience, after  counseling, people have shared that they "feel lighter", "gain clarity", learn more about themselves and others", "feel less  stuck or overwhelmed ", "feel energized ", "feel good , positive and hopeful, "take decisions and actions, "see positive changes, improve relationship and so on. This is  often possible because the counselor is neutral and objective while  working with you.

A: Sometimes talking to a friend can be helpful and counselors often encourage clients to use their family and friends. Friends and family could feel a conflict of loyalty and find it hard to keep things confidential.  They may become upset themselves by what you are telling them, Counselors’ training means they have formal support and a work structure which helps them to deal with upsetting and difficult situations; friends may begin to feel overburdened, especially if they have their own problems too.

You may be wondering where to start, but the good news is that the counselor usually starts talking first. The counselor may start by introducing him/herself, making you feel comfortable and explaining how it works, clarifying any questions you may have and generally make you feel accepted, comfortable and understood. You could start sharing whenever you are ready.

Being seen for psychotherapy by a counselor does not necessarily mean you will need to take medications. Many psychological problems can be successfully treated without the use of medications. If you and your counselor decide that medications should be considered as a adjunct to counseling, your counselor will discuss referral options with you. You will need to see a physician (such as a psychiatrist) to be prescribed any medications. It is important to let your counselor know about any medications you have already been prescribed. 

The counselor’s role is to create a warm and accepting relationship where you will feel comfortable to talk about anything you wish you. Based on what you share, the counselor will attempt understanding your life and facilitate self-exploration, insight and awareness, helping you reach your goals.

University and graduate/professional school work can be stressful at times. Many students encounter problems that are not easily resolved, or their usual ways of handling problems aren’t working well for some reason. Counseling can be a helpful means of support to address concerns that may be interfering with a student’s ability to function academically and/or socially.

Counseling tends to focus on what is going on right now and how you can best cope with day-to-day life. Psychotherapy or "therapy" tends to focus on understanding and changing long held patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that are leading you to have difficulty right now. Therapy often requires exploring the past as well as the present.

For many students, counseling does help in identifying and removing obstacles to doing well academically. For some, it may help improve the overall quality of life and the success of interpersonal relationships, which can often indirectly affect academics.
