Parent, child and family counselling can be extremely helpful when you find yourself face significant conflict in your relationship with your child.

Family counselling and/or parent child counselling can also help when siblings aren’t getting along, when parents separate or go through a divorce, forming new families and communicating with teenagers and children.

We find it most rewarding when parents realize how much their children have bottled up. Once children feel safe, they begin to speak openly and frankly for the first time. It is important for parents to understand that children need to be heard and appreciate being listened to. Not having an outlet other than the family members can sometimes lead to resentment, aggression and negative feelings which badly affecting children in the longterm propelling them to make unhealthy choices.

We ensure confidential and non-judgmental support where parents and children are encouraged to share their feelings and work towards happier and healthier families. our counselling sessions will be constructed to meet the unique needs of your family and help every member work together as a strong team, communicate better and resolve their differences over time.

Counselling for Adolescents

Adolescence is one of the most important stages of human development. It is a time when young people experience several psychological, physical and identity changes during their journey to adulthood.

Teenage years in today’s fast changing world results in adolescents facing challenges that parents have not experienced before or fail to understand which creates isolation, fear, anxiety and worry. Although adolescence is often stereotyped as one of the most difficult stages of life to navigate through, we feel it is important to remember that many adolescents move through this developmental stage respectfully and peacefully.

We believe that with the right tools, communication, empathy and support, adolescence can be a time of newfound independence and confident exploration. Adolescent counselling helps young people be more aware of their feelings, behaviors and thoughts, enhances mental wellbeing and self esteem and empowers them with a skill set to make positive life choices.

Educating Educators

Educating Educators is our answer to the current chaos in today’s world of education. As the demand for world class education increases in leaps and bounds, one of the many educational problems that almost every school faces today is a shortage of trained teachers. And one of the most common ways to deal with this shortage is by educating current teachers to enhance their awareness.

At Embolden we aim to provide a fast track solution by offering teacher training courses for individuals coming from different fields or looking to upgrade their existing skill set. To provide new and existing teachers with the greatest chance of success, we offers a multi dimensional teacher preparation program that provides them with knowledge, experience, and guidance to satisfy the vast demands placed on teachers today.

Our training programs enable schools and teachers to enroll for teacher empowerment sessions on select modules of interest or enroll for the entire program. Teachers are exposed to information, literature, and research that focus on realtime issues in education which revolve around mental health awareness, child psychology, interventions to improve behavioural outcomes, identifying learning difficulties, referral systems, gender sensitization, child sexual abuse and life skills education to name a few.

Teachers and schools can widely benefit from this flexible program by continuing to commit to their existing work schedules and attend classes during weekends. Each module has been carefully selected based on our very own in house research. Every module ranging from the fundamentals of learning to classroom management has a strong foundation in child psychology. The hands on observation assignments provide every trainee with the opportunity to directly apply and blend theoretical knowledge in the classroom setting thereby enhancing their understanding and commitment towards higher level teaching.

Career Counselling

We are surrounded by plenty of career choices and it can sometimes be tough to know what the best career is for you. The main goal of career counselling is enable students choose career paths that are in tune to their skills and job expectations. With the help of career counselling most students choose the right career and plan to perform their level best, which ultimately helps them succeed. If you are a student and need to switch career paths or an education stream, we can help with that as well by providing ample support, motivation and guidance to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Sometimes you already have a job and need to determine how to make it to your dream job. Other times, you need to determine what is important for you and identify career opportunities that are most suitable to you.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) focuses on how your thoughts, feelings and emotions influence your behaviour. It also helps to manage emotions, be more mindful and learn to accept and deal with pain. CBT is an important tool which helps you identify and become aware of negative thinking patterns that affect your lifestyle and everyday choices. It enables you to identify challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in an effective manner. We try to develop a customized plan and sometimes use a wide array of other therapies such as music therapy and art therapy to help identify and cope with specific challenges in a shorter duration. CBT has been used to help with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), eating disorders and Bipolar disorders to name a few.

Anxiety

We work extensively to help and treat teenagers and young adults with anxiety. With today’s age of rapid technology and extensive social networking, anxiety manifests itself through feelings of worry, pain, fear and trauma.

Functional Skills for Children with Special Needs

Functional skills are an important part of our program for children with special needs. The ability to function and live independently as an adult is an important goal we work towards for every child with special needs. We along with other therapists work with children for the implementation of basic social skills that children will utilize in their everyday life. We work with parents to develop a customized plan to ensure that children will be able to vocalize, express and communicate depending on their current level of ability. Individual goals and objectives are discussed with the parents depending on their situation and available resources. Basic reading and writing skills are worked with a team of experts from Nivritti, a Bodhi Valley special education initiative based in Hyderabad.

Life Skills Education for Adolescents

Life skills education is an excellent way to promote Mental Health among adolescents. It is a common misconception that life skills can only be picked up by children as they go through life. Although this maybe the case, it is sometimes important to learn these skills by equipping them with the necessary tools and information to make critical life decisions and choices. Children with better life skills are less likely to be involved in conflicts, deal better with their feelings, identify new ways to solve their problems, make conscious career choices, manage their time more effectively, recognize the impact of their choices and show lesser chances of succumbing to peer pressure, addiction and bullying. At Embolden, we understand that mothers cannot over emphasize the need to empower children and adolescents with life skills to meet the challenges of everyday life where academic success is no longer enough.

The choices are plenty but which curriculum and school combination can complement your home environment and child's personality?
