Lt. (Dr) Alex Mathew Ph.D., Th.D. is a consultant counselor who believes that in his profession ‘love’ has the top priority. He does not believe in analyzing, conditioning, programming and using people; neither does he consider or designate them as victims. At 84, his experience in counseling across three continents, for nearly half a century, has taught him that people everywhere and their problems are more or less of the same genre. From plant sciences, he turned to counseling in the early 70s, compelled by the enormous need for comforting and building up of defeated persons and bringing them out of their individual tragedies. To that end, he acquired a Diploma from International Institution of Counseling, Belgium, a Ph.D. from the USA and subsequently, a Th.D. from India to equip himself to be an effective counselor. He learned abiding lessons in compassionate, loving and caring gentleness in counseling from Europe, Africa, USA and India.
