Abstract

The main thrust of this research was to investigate the factors that influence counselling session review apathy in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe. The qualitative method of research was employed through a case study research design using the interpretive paradigm. Purposive sampling was used to select the 10 participants during the research process. Data was gathered through interviews. Major contributing factors to counselling apathy were lack of awareness on existence and roles of counselling psychologists, fear to disclose one’s problems and societal beliefs among others. Ways of enhancing the embracing of professional psychological counselling were identified which included awareness campaigns on roles of counselling psychologists, media coverage and integration of western and traditional/religious views to mental health issues. A set of recommendations were also posted.
