Counselling & Psychotherapy
The primary focus of counselling and psychotherapy is for our clients to discover how to best support themselves by finding their own path to healing. One of our aims is for people to adjust and accept the flaws in life and build resilience to attain greater satisfaction by lifting their lives. We provide counselling/psychotherapy for those suffering from different psychological illnesses like Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and other psychosocial issues like bullying, stress, addiction, etc. During our sessions, we apply different therapies like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative therapy, Play therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Relation Theory, Marriage Counselling, etc. Many times to achieve certain goals we involve parents or family to enhance a more supportive environment for our clients.

PSYCHIATRIST CONSULTATION
Dr. Arif Mohamed, a highly reputed psychiatrist has been giving psychiatric consultation services since June 2018 at our clinic. We have a high demand for psychiatric consultations and our utmost priority is providing a safe and comfortable environment for our patients coming to seek this service.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
Psychological assessments are directed to better understand a person’s psychological functioning which includes identifying potential problems with cognition, behavior, emotional reactivity, person’s strengths and weakness. Through psychological assessment, the psychologist gets an overall impression of challenging problematic behaviors reported by clients, and their parents. Some of them include, behaviors exaggerated due to neurodevelopmental disorders, emotional instability, and academic difficulties. During and after the assessment, recommendations and guidelines for treating these behaviors are made and explained to the parents. Till now we have made psychological profiling for over 1000 clients.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION PROGRAM
Our clinic offers behavior modification programs to meet the unique needs of each child. One-on-one sessions with children enable us to identify and address specific difficulties, monitor progress, and establish constant communication channels with parents.
Behavior modification sessions are carried out in a way that best meets the needs of the child, and this is accomplished by developing intervention plans. Our behavior modification programs are generally provided to children with features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and behavioral challenges, among others.
To ensure that children progress with behavior modification programs, it is imperative that we receive parental support by providing children with ongoing encouragement from parents and other caregivers. As a result, when difficulties or impediments arise, parents are equipped with the essential skills and resources. Targets and progress are evaluated with parents every three months.
