Question

Give a few case studies using the counselling process.

Answer 1

• Case Study 1: Examination Anxiety
  A student feels very anxious before examinations and is unable to concentrate. The counsellor first listens to the student and identifies the causes of anxiety. The counsellor helps the student recognise negative thoughts, prepare a realistic study schedule, and practise relaxation techniques. Gradually, confidence and concentration improve.
• Case Study 2: Career Confusion
  A student is confused about choosing a career after school. The counsellor discusses the student’s interests, abilities, academic performance and future goals. Suitable career options are explored and compared. The student is then helped to make an informed and independent career decision.
• Case Study 3: Family Adjustment Problem
  A teenager frequently argues with parents and feels misunderstood. The counsellor provides a safe environment to express feelings, identifies communication problems and helps the teenager understand both personal and family concerns. The counsellor suggests better communication and problem-solving methods, leading to improved adjustment at home.
