YANA Counselling Centre

YANA COUNSELLING CENTRE dedicated to promoting positive change in the individual. Counselling as a ‘profession’ is still very new in India. In fact there is no Parent Body or Accreditation Association in the country which results in a kind of “free for all’’ scenario both in the practice of counselling and in the training of counsellors.What makes the YANA Counselling Centre experience different is the respect that we have for the confidentiality of our clients, our belief that it is extremely important for our counsellors to be in ongoing counselling themselves and that supervision is an essential part of the practice of counselling.At YANA Counselling Centre, we strongly believe in the role of training, theory and research in contributing to the effectiveness of counselling. In fact, there is an increased call in the field of counselling across the world to study variables that will deepen understanding of what makes counselling work. YANA Counselling Centre is developed to address this gap and to understand client and counsellor experiences within an Indian context. Our aim is to continue to ensure clients at YANA Counselling Centre receive services that are evidence-based and effective. We also hope for our research to have implications for mental health professionals and clients seeking services outside of our Centre. We request participation in research from clients seeking services at YANA Counselling Centre. We are strong advocates for conducting ethical research and thus will follow all protocols to receive consent from participants and to ensure confidentiality of participants.
