For eighteen years, we have provided guidance and counselling services for individuals, families, schools and other organizations.
WHO WE ARE
Rapha Counselling Concepts was established in 2003 as a counselling and mentoring outfit for young people and adults who work with young people.
The initiative emanated from the founder’s passion to assist young people to resolve the challenges that impinge on their well- being and development with a view to helping them to achieve a smooth transition into responsible adulthood, and ultimately attain self-actualisation.
We provide guidance and counselling services for individuals, schools and other organisations. Since its inception in 2003, we have satisfactorily met the guidance and counselling needs of her clients.
Our school guidance and counselling services include:
Services for Pupils/Students:

– Behaviour Modification – We use evidence based psychological techniques to help individuals to unlearn maladaptive behaviours. We have successfully helped some of our clients to resolve challenges such as pilfering, lie telling, bullying, examination malpractice, truancy and problematic behaviours such as problematic gambling, problematic masturbation, problematic sex, and problematic viewing of pornography.
– Life skills training – Life skills are abilities that help individuals, especially young people to easily navigate through life. Life skills promote mental and physical health, enhance tolerance and consequently supports social harmony. There are adequate scientific evidences that equipping young people with life skills empowers them to avoid harmful behaviours, such as substance use and risky sexual behaviours including sexual violence. Life skills have been found to keep young people away from crime. Moreover, life skills equip young people to focus on personal growth, and hence, promote productivity and self-actualisation.
Our Life Skills training focuses on communication and interpersonal skills, including negotiation, assertiveness, peer resistance, refusal; critical thinking and creative thinking; problem solving and decision making; self awareness, including values and value clarification; empathy; self and stress management skills, including goal setting and goal priority, planning, time management, self-care, etc.

The content includes self- awareness, adjusting to pubertal changes, reproductive health information, relationships and consequences of choices, skills on how to avoid sexual abuse, such as setting body boundaries, assertiveness skills, decision making skills, impulse or self-control skills, goal setting and goal priority, etc. The content is delivered in a child friendly, non explicit and non scary style by only trained professionals.
