Personal
Counselling
University life is an exciting and challenging experience that prepares students for the real world. It is the time when students embark on a journey of self-discovery and academic growth.
A counsellor gives students the opportunity to explore their issues and concerns in a non judgemental, safe and confidential space. They help them to explore, understand and develop new skills to manage their personal and academic lives. They meet on a regular and one to one basis to help them to cope with emotional, personal or mental health concerns. Every school has a batch counsellor with extensive experience supporting students with their struggles of balancing academic demands as well as managing personal life stressors.
Our newest initiatives are that we now have a faculty counsellor who comes every Wednesdays and Thursdays on campus.
CCHS has offered extended hours for personal counselling offered by Dr. Urmi Shelley, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Group therapy, also known as Listening circles, have sessions that run the length of the semester and are conducted each week. Topics offered during each semester vary but mostly include interpersonal groups, coping skills groups or anxiety management skill groups.
For medical care or long term therapist consultations, counsellors provide referrals to well known institutions or professionals.
Testimonials
My son approached the counsellor last month after a fight ( one of the many) at home with us. The Counsellor personally called me and my husband and helped resolve the issue. She dealt with the emotional outburst very gently and has been instrumental in making some important changes at our end. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts
Thank you Mam for taking care of students and updating the parents on time.
Personal counseling at Christ really helped me find faith in myself. Mam is really helpful and approachable- and the advice she gives is really good. I am glad I have such great counseling in my college
Mental illness – I FEEL EVERYONE HAS THEIR SILENT AREAS OF MENTAL WEAKNESS
I was a person who had zero belief that somebody could help you through your mind fluctuations. I had honestly come across therapist who usually just convince you to fit into a routine that you feel manic about, I always felt the beauty of psychology science has never been practically implemented, I had a breakdown point with my personal life and carrier at the same point, I started feeling pathetic and low spirited. I had people blame me all over rather than help me stand up from that area of weakness, no one I feel ever listens to the one who is wrong on paper. I was blamed for the ruptures I made, I think a therapist walking into your scape is more like a spiritual enhancement that god offers to you, I felt my sessions with the therapist who wasn’t even designated for me was more like a caring call from the one above. She listened, she felt what I felt and believed in what I said, not even knowing me 30% at the time of our first conversation, I saw her peep through a concave emotional conflict I had as a person, and guide me on how I cement this area in my life better, her patience to accept growing teens and their repetitive nature of flaws, is a crown element for a therapist dealing with our age group of people. Cheers to your goodwill, hope you make many more fragile hearts and minds get stronger
When you climb a ladder, a person is required to hold it to keep the ladder from rocking. Personal counseling at Christ, has been that support throughout my climb in college. Being in a new and big city, it is easy to get tempted by useless attractions and I also became prey to such allurement, slowly drifting away from my purpose. Thankfully, at a very nascent stage I was pulled on the right track by personal counseling sessions from the wonderful counselors that Christ has and that has helped me sail through my 5 years course smoothly. I was regularly motivated and patiently shown the right way to tackle all the distractions that were harmful to me. I am indebted and thankful to the Couselling department for their role and service in my life."
While all of us battle various things at different points in our lives, some battles leave a scar deeper than others. The scars that remind of what were wounds then and the pain associated with it. When I was undergoing something similar, I wasn’t even in the frame of mind to talk about it. While I knew that I had to overcome what was standing right in front of me, I just didn’t know how to. It was when I had lost all hope, college life had taken a toll, and weekends were spent in hospitals, that I for a second got the courage to speak up, and felt like talking for once and therefore got in touch with the on campus counsellor. Things have changed for the better since then. I have healed in many ways and I still am healing due to the support I received from the on campus counsellor. I am glad to have had one moment of courage to seek out for help, and even more blessed to have actually received the best possible support.
