Facilitating Behavioural Change
TANU CHOKSI
Mental health counseling aims at first
identifying unhealthy behaviours and correcting
them. A counselor first understands the nature of
the problem and then plans how to correct these
behaviours. The goal is then to facilitate
behavioural change so as to ensure the patient
lives a life free of behaviours that curb a
fulfilled life.

Enhancing Coping Problem-Solving Skills
TANU CHOKSI
When a patient experiences mental health problem,
their coping and problem-solving skills take a
major hit which ultimately affects many areas of
their life. Psychological therapy aims at helping
patients restore their problem-solving skills and
strengthen their coping skills as well so that
they dont allow their mental health problems to
affect other aspects of their life.

Improving Relationships
TANU CHOKSI
When a person experiences mental health problem,
their loved ones suffer too which may make their
relationships suffer as a result. Mental health
counseling helps an individual sail through their
relationships and how they can manage their
relationships despite their mental health
problems.

Pushing One to Their Maximum Potential
TANU CHOKSI
Sometimes, individuals who experience mental
health difficulties believe themselves to be
lesser than others and feel undermotivated. This
diminishes their ability to go out there and
accomplish their goals and live up to their full
potential. Counselling helps these individuals to
feel good about themselves and accomplish their
goals which pushes them to reach out to their
maximum potential.
