Counselling
Have you ever felt that life is just going in a loop? Do you feel agitated and irritated easily? Do you feel that your relationships and life are just not going the way you wish? Do you feel your confidence and self esteem is going down? Do you feel the smile on your face is no longer genuine? If you have been feeling either of this way, we just wish to tell you that we are here for you.
Often the fast life and stressors around us make it difficult for us to take care of our mental health and wellbeing. We are humans and the fast paced lifestyle has made us work like computers – performing various tasks at once and often leave us overworked and exhausted. Even computers need a break to cool down, they need servicing to work up and have an external hard drive to store up all the pent up information from time to time. Then why shouldn’t we humans too have a space to cool down, relax, get serviced and release our pent up overburdening thoughts and stress to an external entity? We should. And we shouldn’t be thinking twice to even ask for it. With changing times, the importance of maintenance of this processing unit (mental health) is getting recognised. However, people still shy away from openly talking about their struggles and seek help. We understand with societal stigma it can be difficult to come out and ask for help when it is needed. But it shouldn’t be. Our counselling services create a safe and empowering space where every voice matters and every voice is heard.
What exactly happens in counselling?
Counselling is a process of servicing your processing unit i.e. your mental health through purposeful conversations. Counsellors can be understood as the gentle friend with a listening ear and abundance of experience. A concerned mentor who is dedicated to help you understand life when things get difficult. You will experience a safe & judgement free environment. It will allow you to express yourself, understand your patterns & behaviours and learn how to use your strengths and weaknesses in your favour.
Our approach
Our counsellors have a holistic approach. We believe that each individual is different hence the approach needed for everyone should also be customised according to their needs. Our practice follows the principles of psychoanalysis, behaviourism and humanistic approaches with the combination of short term therapeutic techniques such as solution focused brief therapy.

What do our past attendees have to say?
My experience with psychologist Riya was excellent. After having several sessions with her, I saw a drastic change in my behaviour and started understanding myself better. She helped me think through a lot of my thoughts that were making me feel stuck and hopeless at that time. Riya ma’am was extremely understanding, non-judgemental throughout the sessions and approached my issues in a way that made me feel heard. She was able to understand the mechanism of my thought process. Looking back on it now, I do not know how I would have got to where I am now without her prestigious support. After receiving moral support from psychologist Riya, now, I feel equipped to do things differently. I learned many life rules throughout my sessions with Riya ma’am and these lessons with stay with me forever. I would always recommend psychologist Riya, If someone is going through circumstances similar to mine. Thank You Riya Ma’am

My name is Jaya. I started taking therapy from Riya a few months back. Initially, I was very nervous about it as in, ‘How will I be able to express what I am going through.’ But she made me so comfortable that after a couple of sessions I used to be excited to share my journey. We tried different techniques and methods to solve my issues. Most of the methods were so helpful that now I deal with my issues following these techniques on my own. My journey of healing is still a long way to go but I have gained so much confidence within a few sessions. It was a wonderful experience.
