Guidance
and counselling in educational institutions play a vital role in fostering
students’ personal, academic, and emotional growth. As students navigate
complex academic pressures and life transitions, guidance and counselling
services offer structured support to help them develop clarity, resilience, and
self-confidence. This course provides a foundational understanding of how
individuals can be supported in making informed decisions, managing personal
and academic challenges, and developing healthy coping skills. Through this
course, you will develop essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes required
for effective guidance and counselling in educational and organisational
settings. Practical examples and case-based discussions will help you apply
these concepts in real-life situations. By the end of the four weeks, you will
have the competence to recognise when guidance is needed, understand when
counselling is appropriate, and appreciate the professional role of a
counsellor in supporting individual growth and well-being.
