COUNSELLING
Counselling is a process that enables to sort out issues and reach decisions affecting their life.
Often counselling is sought out at a time of change or crisis, it need not be so however as
counselling can also help us at any time of our life.
Counselling involves talking with a person in a way that helps a person solve a problem or helps
to create conditions that will cause a person to solve a problem or helps to create conditions that
will cause a person to understand and /or improve his /her behaviour, character, values or life
circumstances. At the end of the counselling process, the client himself /herself has an insight to
the problem and he/she becomes empowered to take his or her own decision.
Conflicts, academic problems, career, personal and socially related problems than in the past.
counselling programmes involves individual sessions with students, where truth serves as a means
to reach the goals of counseling. Follow up sessions are carried out as on a regular basis and parents
are involved in the process if the need demands.
The counsellor was also actively involved in meeting the students and parents who have shortage
of attendance. They were counselled and advised to be regular to college and to maintain 75%
attendance in all subjects. In future, the counsellor hopes to instill skills that will enable our
students to be efficient and successful. Counselling is defined as the service of helping people to
adjust or deal with personal problems, by enabling them to discover for themselves the solution to
the problems when receiving attention from a counsellor.
The Counsellor’s View point:
As the counsellor, I had to deal with not counselling but also address issues and also to manage
the help desk to help our students and parents. Throughout the year, I met students, staff and
parents addressing many issues like peer pressure, parental pressure, academic pressure, personal
problems, relationship problems, depression, career guidance, shortage of attendance ,misconduct,
enquiries, ventilation ,interpersonal problems, relationship problems and other issues. I have
maintained confidentiality and dealt with each individual on a non judgemental basis .Certain
sensitive matters had to be taken up with the Principal and handled delicately. I have maintained
confidential reports after every sessions and also maintained a record of work on a daily basis. I
have also got feedback from students, parents and staff on the session s that were conducted.
Certain case follow up sessions were taken up by me. Students who had approached me seeking
help have also brought their classmates and friends for various issues. This shows a definite
positive impact of my counselling services. The respondents were asked for general comments or
remarks of the service provided.
My primary task is to support the academic session of the college by providing a range of
interventions which enhance a student’s ability to be consistently engaged with achieving their
academic potential
Other activities:
The counsellor had given a talk on the topic “Adolescent counseling” to the II year students of the
Home Science department on 12th October 2018. The opening remark was made by the counsellor
on 4th August 2017 for the panel discussion on “Talking about mental health is a sign of strength
and not weakness” which was conducted by the department of Psychology. The counsellor handled
the students session and addressed the parents of I and II PUC students on 17th January 2018 for
the workshop on ‘Top of Form-Bottom of Form.‘

The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. - B.B.King
The College strongly believes in the importance of learning and as an institution gives its students
innumerable opportunities for interactional learning. Assemblies are an integral part of learning
and communication at Cottons. We believe in the importance of maintaining a personal touch and
improving the interpersonal skills of students. We have assemblies every alternate Thursdays
between 12:15 and 1:00 pm. Each class is responsible for conducting the assembly and all the
students actively take part in presenting a program that has a structured format and is based on a
meaningful theme.
The theme chosen by our Principal, was “The importance and relevance of values and morals in
life”.
The convenor was Mrs. Monisha Muliyil and the staff in charge were Ms. Vidyashree R, Ms.
Anitha Clarin, Dr. Sharmila, Mrs. Powlin Sahayarani and Mrs. Rachel Joshua.
Every assembly begins with an opening prayer and Bible reading followed by chorus singing.
After this, the classes are given the freedom to choose the mode of their cultural presentation
depicting the theme. Usually the students present a skit and choreography based on the theme.
They also present tableaus and mimes on certain occasions. Apart from the class assemblies, we
also have special assemblies wherein guest speakers are invited to address the students on certain
crucial topics. Classes also conduct special assemblies based on relevant themes. This year, we

their home and heart to the aged poor who are 65 years and above, without discrimination of caste
or creed and provide for all their needs without having a fixed income.
Another special assembly was conducted by the I year M. Sc. and III year BA students on 11th
