Our comprehensive counseling process involves individual sessions tailored to your needs. In these sessions, we create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your passions, interests, and goals. We address any fears or doubts you may have and help you gain clarity on your options. Simultaneously, we facilitate open discussions with your parents, providing them with an opportunity to voice their concerns and gain a deeper understanding of your perspective.
