What is it?
Parent counselling is a service that aims to provide parents with the tools, guidance, knowledge, and support they need in an unbiased and healthy way, without worrying about their judgment. Through parental counselling, parents are better prepared to take care of their families, especially their children.
Institute of Neurodevelopment (Kolkata) is not focused on helping you or your child “change”. Instead, we try to understand what has worked so far and how it can be leveraged to move forward. This process is about discovering your strengths as a parent and building strong relationships within your family. We believe in helping you get closer to the family you’ve always wanted to be! We listen to your problems and help you open the door to us. In return, we will share fresh perspectives, new ideas and suggestions on how to implement new parenting strategies.
