Description
Summary:Counselling services are usually provided by counsellors to specific target groups such as students, parents and the community. However, the psychological wellness aspect is also important especially among counsellors. Therefore, this study examines how counsellors manage psychological well-being in the practice of daily life. A total of eight counsellors currently serving in the Institution of Training and Vocational Education (TVET) were involved in the qualitative study. The data was then analyzed using themed methods. The findings of the study found that TVET counsellors preserved personal well-being through healthy food balance, response skills, timeouts, doing therapy, maintaining relationships with God, and expressing to significant people. Implications for counselling and the direction of the study were also discussed.
