I have a client who has been diagnosed with depression prior to the lockdown. My client was seeking therapy services. However, post lockdown, even though he needs sessions, he is unable to have sessions due to lack of privacy in his house even for telephonic sessions. How should I proceed to best help the client?

My client’s father has multiple medical problems (unrelated to COVID). The father is admitted to hospital for management of some acute issues. My client is all the time feeling extreme tension, frustration and even anger at the father for not taking care of his health and escalating his health issue. The client feels angry and frustrated as the admission has resulted in need to be in the hospital and running around between home, pharmacy, billing and the ward. This has increased the risk of exposure to COVID. He is very irritable and snapping at everyone and his own blood pressure is also going high. There is hardly anyone else in the family to share caregiver burden, other than the mother at home.

I, as a counselor, am feeling very helpless as families of a few migrants in my area are very distressed. Two of these families lost a family member recently. I have started to feel that I can hardly provide any help in concrete terms while this is what is needed. I am feeling down, lost and out and questioning the value of the role I can play. What to do?

As a school counsellor doing tele-counselling with students and their parents, what can I tell a father who’s 16 year old son confesses to him that he needs a cigarette because he’s addicted. The son is getting sleepless nights in agitation as he’s unable to get his usual quota of cigarettes amid this lockdown.
