Frequently Asked Questions

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with personal, emotional, or relationship challenges, counselling can provide clarity and support. Whether you need guidance, a safe space to talk, or tools to improve your well-being, counselling is beneficial for anyone looking for personal growth and emotional balance.

Counselling focuses on emotional well-being, healing, and personal challenges, such as anxiety, trauma, and relationships. Coaching is goal-oriented and focuses on areas like career success, decision-making, and life planning.

Each session is tailored to your needs. You will have a safe, judgment-free space to share your thoughts and feelings. We will explore your concerns, work on practical solutions, and develop strategies for self-awareness, emotional balance, and personal growth.

I completed my professional internship at GIPS (Gujarat Institute of Psychiatric Sciences), one of Gujarat's premier psychiatric institutes, under the expert mentorship of Dr. Suhas Doshi.

These plans help in achieving deeper transformation over time.

Yes. A 30-minute trial consultation is available at Rs. 1,500. It is a shorter first conversation to talk through what is going on, ask any questions, and see whether we are the right fit before you book a full 45-60 minute session or a plan.
