There are myths that counselling is meant for people who are insane or weak.
The fact is, counselling is a professional relationship, focusing on enhancing the psychological well-being of a client, so that he or she could be empowered to reach their full potential.
During the sessions, courage is highly needed to deal with sensitive feelings and painful experiences. Besides being a way to take control in your life, counselling could be a channel for you to develop yourself through self-understanding and acquisition of new skills.
There are various types of counselling, including academic counselling, career counselling, group counselling and e-counselling provided in UCSI University Terengganu Campus.
