ABSTRACT
This research study investigates the impact of counselling interventions on the psychological well-being of adolescents. With adolescence being a critical developmental stage characterized by numerous challenges and vulnerabilities, understanding the efficacy of counselling in promoting mental health is paramount. The study employed a quantitative measure to comprehensively assess the effects of counselling interventions. A sample of adolescents (N =30) participated in the study, receiving five one hour counselling sessions over a duration of five days. Quantitative data was collected through Psychological Well-being Scale by Devendra S. Sisodia and Pooja Choudhary, evaluates psychological well-being across five dimensions before and after the intervention to measure changes in various dimensions of psychological well-being, including Life satisfaction, Efficiency, Sociability, Mental health, and Interpersonal relations. Findings indicate a significant improvement in adolescents’ psychological well-being (p<0.01) following the counselling intervention, with reductions in symptoms of psychological distress and enhancements in self-perception and interpersonal functioning. Quantitative analysis further elucidates the subjective benefits of counselling, highlighting themes of increased self-awareness, improved coping strategies, and strengthened support networks. These findings underscore the positive impact of counselling on adolescent mental health and have implications for the development and implementation of effective interventions tailored to the unique needs of this population.
