Counselling and Treatment at Skooc

IT IS NOT EASY TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CHILD NEEDS GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING. LOOKING FOR CHANGES IN YOUR CHILD IS A GOOD WAY TO START. SOMETIMES THESE CHANGES MAY BE SUBTLE AND GROW GRADUALLY OR THEY MIGHT COME IN SUDDENLY. IF THE CHANGE IS PROMINENT ENOUGH THAT IT STARTS TO AFFECT THE CHILD’S DAILY LIFE AND ROUTINES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEEK COUNSELLING FOR CHILDREN. BELOW ARE SIX SIGNS THAT MIGHT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS COUNSELLING.
If you find your child is starting to argue, complain, get angry and become defensive, even over the smallest request or conversation, then pay closer attention. If you see that they are occurring more frequently and seem to continue for longer periods of time, then these defiant behaviours are a call for counselling.
If you find changes in your child’s day to day interests, hobbies, routines and habits have changed significantly, this is a sign of your child needing help. Most common changes are in eating, sleeping and personal interests and social life and if these changes persist for longer than 2 weeks, reach out for help. Always worrying or being sad If you find your child is always worried, sad and isolated, these are clear signs that the child is struggling with managing their emotions. Worrying and being sad is normal, especially during growing years. However, if you see these emotions growing and needing constant intervention from you, reach out for help.
Regression situations are when a child’s behaviour goes back by years to when they were younger. These can include an older child bedwetting, baby talk, tantrums when being separated from parent/s, uncontrollable temper tantrums. Regression can happen in situations like the birth of a new sibling, death in the family or divorce. However, if it happens for no reason, your child might need help.
If you see that your child withdrawing socially, this is a sign for you to understand what the child is going through emotionally. Typically, behaviours will include refusing to go out to play, not talking to friends after they are back home, not wanting to play, refusing to come out for social outings with family. Turning inwards and away from their friends circle is an indication of a struggle and if you see this behaviour persisting beyond a few weeks and is persistent, seek help.
Perhaps the most urgent sign of a child needing help is if the child is either talking of self-harm or harming themselves. This can show up as references to hopelessness, or situations being dismal or the child might directly refer to thoughts of cutting or hurting themselves by banging their head against a surface, hitting themselves, scratching themselves hard enough to cut skin or starting to have ideas of suicide. If you are noticing any self-harm behaviours, take note of them and get help for your child right away.

The sooner you are able to notice the signs, the quicker you can get the help that your child needs.

What People are Saying about Skooc

Bala Shivakumar

Bangalore

When we came to Skooc we had a 17 year old who was so depressed that he had lost 15 kilos, was not eating, not sleeping and did not talk to us. His condition was so bad that even medicines were not helping. When we started therapy at Skooc, we were so happy that it was on video because he would not even step out of his room. It was a slow process, but our child has improved. Rachit is now recovering under the guidance of Ms. Rowena and we are very much relieved and happy. Thank you to Skooc and your excellent counsellors.

Shweta Khosla

Pune

Siya was diagnosed with ADHD when she was only 8. At 14 we saw so many problems coming up that we felt she can never even finish school. But working with Sarah we saw how to manage the disorder and make her do better at her social life, sports and studies. For a child who could not at all focus, she is now able to sit for 30-35 minutes and able to plan and do her work.

Ritu Grewal

Hi Devi, Thank you very much for helping Kiara with her depression. We were all so upset ad scared about what she is going through and what had happened to our usually happy 15 year old. Ankita is a wonderful therapist and she has made a big difference in her life. I will always be grateful for your help.

R. Saravanan

Coimbatore

My son Akshat is 13 and stopped going to school. Everyday when we would wake he will start to refuse and in one hour there was screaming, crying and drama. My wife and I were so tired and exhausted. School was also getting very tough on us. When we came to Skooc, we were desperate and we got very good counselling for my son and for us. We came to understand how he was bullied and that has caused trauma. We never thought how severe it is for him. Miss Rowena helped us to also manage his fear very well. He is now able to go back and teachers are also supporting him

Srinivas Mohan

Bangalore

I was very unsure about making my teenager son do online therapy sessions. I thought online will not be so effective. But I am so glad I tried it. I can see great improvement in his behaviour. I also understand him better now. His anxiety and anger issues are under control now. Thanks to our counsellor Shreya.

Josephine

My daughter Ria was teased very badly in school for being fat and would be very embarrassed about even going out. When we went to the doctor we were shocked to find out that she was very overweight and had high cholesterol. We joined Skooc and both she and I have dropped our extra weight and even after finishing the full course are able to stick with the habits we learnt at Skooc. We are both very happy with our new healthy bodies.

Lavanya Sethi

Gurugram

My child who is 5 was behaving very badly and was beating me. She was disobedient and would show anger. When I called to Skooc, I was very sad and did not know what to do. With play therapy for my daughter and with parenting therapy for me, in 2 months she was behaving like other children in her age. I was very happy and she was also not getting angry at me. Thank you to our counsellor Shilpi.

Sulakshana Pai

Pune

My 16 year old struggled with anxiety and was in a bad shape. The counselling at Skooc has helped with his difficulty in studies and exams. The counsellors are really good

Sheela Modi

Delhi NCR

My son has lost 15 kgs and I lost 10 kgs through the Skooc program. It was easily paced and did not ever restrict my child from eating anything that was essential. He had a balanced meal everyday and he and his counsellor agreed on a schedule that was easy for me to cook too. From a child who watched TV all the time and ate junk food, Ayaan is now an active child and a healthy eater who is very happy and confident with how he looks.

Irfan Salim

Mumbai

We really struggled with our 10 year old daughter’s ADHD. We have consulted more than 6 counsellors and saw no effect. At Skooc Dr.Jasmin helped us very much by taking smaller sessions to help Sanaa focus more. And in just 2 months we saw so much better results. She is better in her daily habits and also in her studies very satisfied with the treatment for my hyperactive child and parent counselling.

Reema Gupta

My daughter lost 11 kgs across the Skooc program which was more than 10% of her body weight and has stayed in the healthy range of BMI since then. She now makes the right decisions regarding her foods and is aware of the effect of what she eats and her exercise on her weight.

Krishnaa Reddy

Hyderabad

Skooc has helped my daughter get into a great shape physically and mentally. She has lost weight and is no longer in the risk zone for type II diabetes. The program worked with my daughter and me to help us understand how to correct what we were doing. Very importantly, my daughter and I no longer fight over what she eats and what she does not. If you are looking for a weight loss coaching for your kids then Skooc is the right choice.

Manish was severely obese with a risk of contracting chronic conditions. After joining the Skooc program, he has lost over 15 Kgs and has started to exercises everyday for 45 minutes. He suffered from pain in the knees which has gone now and he is able to run and play with his friends. It has been 1 year since he started to lose weight and he is still in the process successfully losing wight and getting healthy.

Maya Singh

Philadelphia

My son suffered from constant digestive issues and obesity. He found it very difficult to run and play due to his thighs being very fat and also he suffered from pains in his knees, hips. He also had trouble breathing after even walking a small distance. We joined Skooc because we had tried to put Jay on a diet before and it had not worked. At Skooc, he dropped 24Kgs and is now a teenager who was healthily and works out everyday. I personally dropped 16Kgs and now we are both very close to entering our ideal weight zone

Savitha Shetty

Mumbai

Devi, I want to thank you so much for helping Sharan. When we came to you he was doing so badly in his studies and we used to get complaints all the time from school. Through Peak Performance, he has changed the way he studies and the parenting sessions helped us also so much in managing our frustration. I want to than Ankita also for helping him score such good marks

Sree Viswa

Mumbai

My 17 year old was addicted to his mobile phone and games. His counselling with Skooc was different because it was online and I had wanted offline. But when I saw how good it was going through video counselling, I understood that the quality of the counselling matters not if it is online or offline. Now we are all having healthy technology habits and my son also is very moderated in his usage.

Gayatri Sharma

Noida

Hi Devi, I wanted to say thank you for assigning the best therapist for me and my child. Shilpi was able to help us do a very good assessment and help me with understanding that the problem was. I have been trying to understand the issue with my child for 2 years now and in 1 week she has started the right treatment. The parents counseling for me is also making me a much better parent.

Lincon John

Bangalore

Hi, I want to express my gratitude to the Skooc team and Rowena for helping my daughter and us. When a child who wants to end her life it is horrible for her, everyone around her and us. I thank your team who worked with us as a family to resolve this issue and make her and us better and happier.

Harsh Chauhan

Delhi NCR

Thank you madam for helping my son. He was too depressed after a relationship broke up and was so lonely and did not even want to live. Miss. Sarah was very understanding to help me and my wife with our frustration and disappointment and with our son. She never made him feel not guilty and helped his confidence and self-esteem and motivated him for living. We will always bless you.

Ranjana Dey

Delhi NCR

Hi Devi, we finished counselling for Dharshika today. Thank you for all your help and for giving us such a good counsellor. She is her old happy, funny, loving girl again.

Niharika Chawla

UK

Hi Devi, Just to let you know today was the last day of our 12 week PCIT. There has been a huge change in Shrey’s behaviour and our frustration levels also. When you explained the program to us first I just went with you because I was so desperate. But The program is so well planned and conducted that we could see changes in our behaviour and my son’s. Now we have a child who is not throwing tantrums and being difficult in public. He is so much better at school and we are also much more confident about managing him.

Preeti Krishnamurthy

Chennai

Thank you for the counselling and guidance for helping Aanya back to school. As you know COVID made it so difficult for small children especially and getting my 6 year old daughter back to school was really becoming very tough. Thanks to your program on PCIT, we were able to overcome this fear in her and get her back. Thanks also for helping me as a parent manage my emotions and feelings.

Sachin Gupta

Delhi

Good evening. Pooja and I want to thank you a lot for all your help with Viaan’s social difficulty in school. We never realised how much anxiety a 9 year old could be experiencing and how it was showing up. Thank you for helping us get back our calm and kind child and also helping us understand these problems in such great detail.
