Abstract

This research explores the impact of counselling interventions on the self-concept development of adolescents. Self-concept, defined as the individual’s perception of themselves across various domains such as academic, social, and personal attributes, plays a critical role in shaping identity, behaviour, and overall well-being during adolescence. Counselling, as a form of psychotherapeutic intervention, offers a promising avenue for addressing self-concept issues and promoting positive self-perception among adolescents. Using a quantitative research approach, this study employs pre- and post-intervention assessments to measure changes in self-concept among adolescents who receive counselling. Participants are recruited from diverse backgrounds, reflecting the heterogeneity of the adolescent population. Counselling interventions are tailored to address individual needs and concerns, with a focus on enhancing self-awareness, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-acceptance. A total of four counselling session one session daily is given to the adolescents for consecutive four days. Statistical analyses, including paired-sample t-tests and regression analysis, are conducted to evaluate the impact of Counselling on different dimensions of self-concept. The study aims to provide empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of Counselling in promoting positive self-concept development among adolescents, with implications for mental health interventions, school-based Counselling programs, and youth development initiatives. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying the relationship between Counselling and adolescent self-concept, this research seeks to inform evidence-based practices for fostering healthy identity formation and psychological well-being among adolescents.
