About The British College Wellbeing Unit
The British College Wellbeing Unit is our committed, in-house initiative to support the mental and emotional health of our entire college community. We provide a safe, inclusive, and confidential environment where students, faculty, and staff can seek guidance and find support. We believe that personal well-being is the foundation of academic success and a fulfilling life.
Our Commitment to You
Feel free to speak openly. We're here to listen, and this is a confidential, non-judgemental space for you to express yourself. Your privacy is strictly protected; the only exception is if there's an imminent threat of harm to you or someone else.
Meet Your Counsellor
Riju Poudyal Dhungana
Master’s in Psychology
Counsellor | Mental Health Practitioner since 2018
A passionate and highly motivated school counsellor with a master's in psychology, dedicated to supporting the social, emotional, and academic well-being of students. With extensive experience as a counsellor in various school settings, I excel at developing and implementing proactive mental health programmes, conducting individual and group counselling sessions, and fostering collaborative relationships with students, parents, and educators.
It takes courage to reach out; the act of seeking help is the sign of strength and self-awareness, not weakness. Think of the counselling room as a safe and dedicated space for your mental health check-in. - Riju Poudyal Dhungana
