Yesterday, Namane & Daughters Counseling Services had the pleasure of hosting 4th year Spiritual Care & Counseling students from the National University of Lesotho (NUL). The visit formed part of their practical exposure aimed at bridging theory with real world counseling practice.
During the session, students were taken through how professional counseling sessions are structured and conducted, including client intake, confidentiality, ethical considerations and documentation. We also shared insights on establishing and managing a counseling center from registration processes and compliance requirements to branding, client acquisition and financial sustainability.
In addition, we engaged in meaningful discussions on the challenges commonly faced in the field such as stigma around mental health, maintaining professional boundaries, emotional burnout and building trust with clients. The students were further exposed to the day to day operations of running a counseling practice including scheduling, record keeping, use of digital platforms for virtual sessions and maintaining service quality.
The session also created space for interactive engagement where students asked questions, shared reflections and explored career pathways within counseling and mental health services.
At Namane & Daughters Counseling Services we remain committed to mentorship, capacity building and contributing to the growth of the counseling profession in Lesotho and beyond.
