ST. XAVIER'S COUNSELLING CENTER

St. Xavier's Counselling Centre has made a positive impact on the students of the college relating to student counselling on various problems they confront. Details of the availability of the counsellors are put up on the Notice Boards of the different departments of the college.

Student counselling is gaining popularity all over the world. Students go for counselling to get an unbiased, non judgmental outlook to some of the current issues concerning them.

The Personal Counselling Sessions are conducted at St Xavier’s Counselling Center by an experienced counsellor to help students resolve the problems that they confront. The sessions are client centered, on one to one basis. The emphasis is laid to understand the student’s problem using professional methods and provide strategy to help them handle it effectively. Chances are that whatever problems a student has, the counsellor has seen it before and has lots of good advice on it.

Choosing the right career path is often a dilemma that the students face. The center provides vocational guidance to students based on their personality and interest. For personality appraisal the center conducts a battery of tests to provide your personality profile which gives insights into the work environment suitable for you. Understanding your personality is helpful in choosing the right career path. For example, a person with creative personality will succeed as a writer and a person who is an introvert is less likely to succeed in face to face sales promotion.

Interest test assesses a student’s major field of interest. It is often said “Do what you love, love what you do”. If you choose a field that excites you, you will not only enjoy your work but also excel in your chosen field. For these tests the counselling center can be contacted.
