Mentoring main
Counselling provides a way for people to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trained counselor in order to gain a clearer understanding of themselves. It involves listening empathetically without giving advice. Counselling and mentoring services are needed by many students to help with issues like relationships, depression, anxiety, and personal development. Different types of mentoring relationships exist, including peer mentoring between similar-aged individuals and professional mentoring between those with large differences in life experience. Good mentors are approachable, share information openly, provide constructive feedback, and allocate appropriate time to mentoring. Both mentors and mentees benefit from the relationship.

- 9. MENTORING DEFINED “Mentoring is advising, teaching, counseling and role modeling. Formal mentoring matches a senior or more experienced person—the mentor—to a junior or less experienced person—the mentee. Mentors focus on a mentee’s achievements, success in school and preparation for the workforce through a one-to-one relationship that is non-threatening and non-judgmental to both parties. It is a relationship that changes over time as each grows, learns, and gains experiences in the relationship.” Quoted From: Brainard, S.G. (1998) Mentors and mentees , University of Washington, Western Regional WEPAN Center Mentor = Trusted friend or advisor

- 14. The closed systemportrays mentoring as a rigid one-to-one relationship between an identified Mentor and Mentee. Often the Mentor is assumed as the principal focal point and the Mentee as a subservient and somewhat passive individual in need of help. Such closed systems are found in contemporary, institutionally planned mentoring programs that attempt to legislate mentoring by assigning Mentors to Mentee. In an open system, the Protégé is clearly the Leader, focal point and the driving force of the mentoring relationship. A Protégé often cultivates several potential individuals as available mentoring resources.
