Currently, there are three functioning centers. The first is the Rapha Counselling center working from the office at Mogappair Eri scheme where consultations are offered for psychologically affected individuals and therapies for family counselling. The second is the liaison psychiatry and counselling services provided at the CSI Rainy Hospital and the - third the same services - at CSI Kalyani Hospital. In the latter two, we work in liaison with general medicine, gynecology and other specialties.
The common issues dealt with in counselling are marital conflicts, sexuality related issues, paraphilias, interpersonal conflicts, various types of addictions, depression and mood disorders, personality issues and so on.
Rapha U has developed a counselling theory and a model for resolving and healing of disorders leading to purity in manhood and womanhood. In this context, personal and interpersonal dynamics beginning from the heart of manhood and womanhood are explored and resolved.
In all the centers, strict confidentiality is maintained and no disclosure will be made to inquisitive family members or friends.
Individual counselling
People who suffer the consequences of personal issues whether offenders or victims, paraphilias, pornography addiction, relationship problems and so on are counseled with a specific model developed by RAPHA U. Counsellee is taken through renouncing steps and healing steps towards purity in sexuality. RAPHA U motto is ‘prosperity in purity’ and this is indicative of processes and outcomes.
Psychological screening tests are done to identify psychological illness and the need for medical intervention. If, psychiatric assistance is required, the consultation services are provided by the consultant psychiatrist.
Marriage counselling
In marriage counselling and therapy, the first session is always to hear from both parties in order to identify the problem issues at the root level. Individual sessions are planned as the next step. The sessions may be extended according to the need to do so. After the individual sessions are over, couple counselling is done. The marriage counselling theory is based on moral values in marriage and is not based on expectations in marriage.
Medical assistance for psychological disorders
During the course of counselling, if the patient is found to have insomnia or mood swings or sexual preoccupation and similar symptoms which make the process of counselling difficult, they are first treated medically with appropriate medication in order to enhance the benefits of counselling.
