Counseling: This is the primary activity of Vishwas. Vishwas, provides one on one counseling services to anyone who voluntarily  seeks help. This service is provided at premises of the center. A volunteer assigns herself/himself to a caller. Generally sessions with a caller happens once a week on the same day of the week. The time is fixed with the mutual consent of the caller and counselor. When required, sessions may be more than once a week. Callers can be assured of uninterrupted counseling support from the volunteer during sessions. Confidentiality will be upheld at all times. Our training ensures that callers will not be judged by whatever they have to share. 

Vishwas services are absolutely free. No fee is charged for the counseling services provided. 

At Vishwas, we listen? with our minds and our hearts and in that process you find clarity in your situation. Together we evaluate options and you are empowered to deal with life. We create a safe, non-judgmental environment that will enable you to share, clarify, evaluate and finally act ?to take that one important step. We will help you make your own decisions, decisions you are comfortable with, to take control of your life once again.
