Stress is an individual reaction to demands from the self or from other individuals. The mind causes tension due to the inability of a person to deal effectively with these expectations. A counselor enables the individual to identify these internal expectations and thus reduce or avoid the pressure overload, which it manifests.

What Causes Stress?

Both positive and negative experiences and life transitions can lead to stress. The Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory shows this by indexing common stressful events and using a numerical value to rank the events, using these values to determine a person’s potential to become ill as a result of stress. Some of the more frequent stresses in life,
most of which appear on the stress inventory, include:

Losing a job
Being discriminated against
Experiencing a change in financial status
Moving, beginning or ending school
Experiencing a loss
Being diagnosed with a serious illness

These events are generally considered to be normal parts of the life cycle. Not everyone will experience a divorce or marriage or have a child, but many will experience discrimination, lose a job, and experience other affecting events, whether major or minor. Stress will therefore be a part of most people’s lives, but it may be somewhat easier to manage when experienced in smaller amounts, especially when other factors help mitigate the stress.

The effects of stress on health

Few people will deny being stressed at least once in their lifetime, but for many, stress can be ongoing and unbearable. Chronic stress can contribute to a myriad of mental health and physical health issues. Research has linked high stress levels to:

Insomnia or hypersomnia
Reduced or increased appetite
Self-medicating with drugs or alcohol
Changes in mental health
Decreased productivity and enjoyment at work
Decreased intimacy
Migraine headaches
Chronic pain
Anger issues
Depression
Anxiety
Decreased enjoyment in social activities
Heart attack and stroke

When these complaints occur as a result of stress, they may often clear up as the stressful situation is resolved. However, they can become serious and treatment from a doctor or mental health professional may often be necessary, especially if stress persists.

The most important attributes needed for counselors are effective communication (both verbal and written), active listening and observation, clarification, reflection and effective questioning skills. Counselling is a job that requires a lot of patience, tolerance, sensitivity and devotion. They should have a strong interest in helping others, be sensitive and perceptive in assessing people and be able to inspire respect, trust, and confidence. A counselor needs to be empathetic, so that he can ask appropriate questions and lead the client to positive conclusions. They should be quite soft hearted to handle clients of every nature and kind. They should be able to work independently or as part of a team. Since privacy is essential for confidential and frank discussions with clients, counselors would need private offices.

Career counselling involves exploring the students/ client’s aptitude, preferences and skills for a given career by evaluating their academic or other performances. A career counselor has to be a teacher, confidant and advisor to the clients. The major task and duty of a counselor depends on the individual they serve and the settings in which they work. A counseling session begins with a detailed examination of a student’s profile with special focus on his/ her academic background, strengths and weaknesses. Students come with a range of issues. Some may have an idea about what they want to do while others may not have any idea about the career pathway that they want to follow. Counselors guide students based on their grades, aptitude, other eligibility criteria and finances. By listening attentively and without passing judgment, they give students the opportunity to explore, discover and clarify how and why they feel as they do.

A career counselor can work in different kinds of settings like schools, colleges, universities, career guidance and counseling centers as well as do private practice. Career counselors can work with career information centers and conduct career education programs. Counselors offer services in the areas of aptitude and psychometric testing, higher-education consultations and financial aid. They provide students the details of courses available in different institutes in and outside India, their entrance tests and the course fees. They can also specialise in employment and placement counseling to assist students with career development, in locating and applying for jobs. Internet has also opened new vistas for counselors, with features which facilitate online chat with the counselor.

They also help students to develop the life skills needed to deal with problems before they occur, and thus enhance personal, social, and academic growth. Besides these, they try to identify cases involving domestic abuse and other family problems that can affect a student’s development. While dealing with the students, the counselor may also consult and work with the parents, teachers and school administrators.

E-counseling or online counseling is a controversial form of psychological counseling that uses distance communication technologies to deliver a variety of mental health services including therapy, consultation or psycho-education. These services are provided by a certified specialist and can take place via telephone, e-mail, chat or videoconferencing.
E-counseling is suitable for people who are looking for guidance in solving everyday problems. For more severe conditions, specialists strongly recommend patients to seek conventional face-to-face therapy.

Goals of e-counseling

Psychological counseling via the internet is predominantly concerned with the normal development of individuals. This form of therapy seeks to help cope with everyday problems, such as work and life transitions. The goal is to empower the client by finding areas he can control and successfully manage. The emphasis lies on the client’s strengths rather than behavioral short-comings.

When is e-counseling Used?

Research so far suggests that e-counseling may benefit clients that don’t have access to face-to-face therapy, for instance people living in rural areas. The advantage of easy access can also prove useful for providing mental health services for people with disabilities or inmates who can’t leave the correctional facilities.
Another advantage of e-counseling is that it can offer support at the right moment. The patient can seek help exactly when he feels he needs professional counseling without having to wait for an appointment. Furthermore, by seeking treatment outside the therapist’s office, the client will feel less dependent. Online counseling is recommended for short-term treatments, self-help interventions and cognitive-behavioral treatments.
This form of counseling has been used in treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic, stress as well as relationship difficulties or academic concerns.

How e-counselling works

Online therapy has widely spread through various services on the Internet, e-counseling can be conducted on multiple platforms that can suit their needs.
Some psychotherapy clients can be more receptive to communicating with therapists via e-mail, especially when addressing issues that may be difficult to discuss face-to-face. People dealing with issues that have an element of risk such as addictions or phobias might find it more comforting to express their issues in writing.
People who prefer more interactive sessions can use videoconferencing.
The process varies from website to website. Most platforms that offer mental health services have a special section which offers detailed information regarding the way sessions are conducted.

Email Counselling

What are online e-mail consultations?

Online consultations provide therapeutic online sessions for personal and social issues via the web they are also called “Internet therapy”, “e-therapy”, and “cybercounselling, email therapy, e-counseling, and distance therapy.

How effective is on-line email therapy verses in-person therapy?
