Career guidance and counselling

At New Horizon World Academy, we believe that education is not only about academic excellence but also about nurturing the emotional, social, and psychological well-being of every individual in the school community. Our In-House Counselling Services aim to provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space for students, parents, and teachers to explore challenges, seek guidance, and build resilience. Counselling plays a vital role in promoting mental health, enhancing personal development, and facilitating career planning and decision-making. In today’s fast-paced and often overwhelming world, counselling is not just for those facing serious problems — it is a preventive, developmental, and educational service for all. Whether it’s navigating peer pressure, academic choices, parenting dilemmas, or classroom challenges, counselling provides tools to cope better, communicate effectively, and make healthier decisions. By creating a school culture that embraces mental well-being, emotional intelligence, and career readiness, we are preparing our students not just for exams, but for life.

Students

Children and adolescents face a variety of internal and external pressures — from managing studies and friendships to understanding their emotions and planning for the future. Our counselling services help students:

• Express emotions and cope with anxiety, fear, sadness, or anger.
• Deal with peer pressure, bullying, and conflicts in a healthy way.
• Improve focus, time management, and motivation in academics.
• Learn problem-solving, decision-making, and self-regulation skills.
• Discover interests, strengths, and career paths through career counselling.

For senior students, particularly in Grades 9 and 10, we also conduct Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) sessions that focus on self-awareness, managing stress, building empathy, and preparing for transitions — whether academic or emotional. These sessions are designed to empower students with life skills that are essential not just for school, but for future personal and professional growth. We use age-appropriate, creative, and interactive methods such as storytelling, games, art, and reflective exercises to make sessions engaging and meaningful. Every student is heard, respected, and empowered.

Parents

Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging journeys. As children grow and change, so do the parenting strategies needed to support them. Our counselling services offer parents:

• Insights into child and adolescent behaviour and development.
• Support in handling issues like aggression, low confidence, or withdrawal.
• Guidance in managing screen time, academic pressure, and peer influences.
• A collaborative space to work with teachers and the school for the child’s growth.

We also organize parent workshops to build stronger parent-child relationships and create a more understanding, nurturing environment at home. When parents feel supported, they are better equipped to support their children.

Teachers

Teachers are not only educators but also role models, mentors, and emotional anchors in a child’s life. Through counselling, we support teachers to:

• Understand students' emotional and behavioural cues early on.
• Manage classroom dynamics with empathy and inclusivity.
• Handle stress and prevent burnout through wellness sessions.
• Collaborate with the counsellor on strategies for student support.

We offer teacher training workshops and one-on-one consultations to build emotionally safe classrooms and promote mental well-being as an essential part of education.
