COUNSELLING SERVICES
Hope Centre offers one-to-one counselling which aims to help individuals more effectively cope with problems of living, stimulate personal growth and development; and assist individuals to move from self-defeating life patterns to progressively positive life patterns.

As this is a newly set up counselling programme, we hope to begin by providing counselling to beneficiaries of Hope Centre's projects/programmes who are seeking help in the following areas:

1. Youth related issues
Examples: excessive spending, internet addiction and teenage pregnancy

2. Physical / medical / life transitional issues
Examples: transition in school/work, transition from adolescent to early adulthood, loss and grief.

3. Other issues will be taken on a case-by-case basic.
Criteria for selection of clients:

1. Voluntary individual
2. Desire for change
3. No recent suicidal attempt (after release from private care)
4. Commitment to the programme
5. Non psychiatric
6. Non crisis (e.g. Family violence)

Our Approaches:
We use Systemic approach, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or other counselling approaches that best help our clients.

A nominal fee ranging from $ 5 to $20 will be charged for individual with family income above $1500/-. This will go towards covering utilities and out-of-pocket expenses.
