ABOUT
Parivarthan (Sanskrit for Transformation) was started in 1995 at a time when counselling was still a lesser-known form of professional help for mental health difficulties. The centre was established to offer counselling services in the community through well trained professional counsellors. Since its inception, Parivarthan has been conducting a rigorous and comprehensive yearlong counsellor training besides providing counselling services to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Over the years, the faculty at Parivarthan have conducted research studies to develop counselling practices that are appropriately tuned to Indian cultural context and changing societal realities.
What makes the Parivarthan experience different is the respect that we have for the confidentiality of our clients. We believe that ongoing professional and personal development of counsellors through regular supervision and personal counselling is an essential part of the practice of counselling. The quality of our services is further upheld by affiliating and adhering to the ethical guidelines laid down by BACP.
Parivarthan is one of the few mental health organisations in the country that has secured an organisational membership (Membership No. 129337) with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Parivarthan stands by the strong ethical code recommended by the BACP, namely the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, the Ethical Guidelines for Researching Counselling and Psychotherapy and the Professional Conduct Procedure.
We regret to inform you all that Carlos Welch passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 29, 2020, surrounded by his wife, Saroj, and children. We will miss him.
Founders
Saroj and Carlos Welch, two of the founding members of Parivarthan, are renowned practitioners in the art of psychotherapy, as well as being teachers and trainers.
Educated and professionally trained in the United States as a psychiatric social worker and counselling psychologist respectively, they have been pioneers in developing Counselling and Training Programmes in Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh), Vellore (Tamil Nadu), Bangalore (Karnataka) and New Delhi.
In addition to other professional certifications, they are clinical members of the International Transactional Analysis Association, by whom they were recently honored for their forty-one years of developing psychotherapy in India.
The Welches served as missionaries of the Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church for 42 years developing Pastoral Care & counselling programs for pastors and establishing counselling centres and Programs for people in general.
The academic knowledge, professional expertise in counselling and psychotherapy and the rich experience in ‘growing people’ of Carlos and Saroj’ has culminated in the establishing of Parivarthan.
