Barkha creates a safe space for you to express yourself without any judgement. She is super empathetic & holds space for you, however minuscule the problem you think you can't get over. Due to her diverse experience, she is able to understand your problem, which makes you feel seen. She has a healthy outlook on therapy as a tool, and tries to make you independent & suggest you ways of thinking that help you solve your problems on your own. Very grateful I found her during a tough period in my life, she has helped me a lot. Would recommend her to anyone seeking help for their mental health struggles or to gain a deeper knowledge into their harmful patterns of behaviour.

I have been going for therapy to Ms.Barkha since a year and it has been an incredibly positive experience. From the moment, the session began, I felt heard and understood. She has this amazing quality of remembering even the minute details shared by her clients over a period of all the sessions. Ms. Barkha has created a safe and non-judgemental space where I could openly share my thoughts and feelings. Her empathetic and compassionate approach made it easy to discuss even the most awkward and difficult topics.
Throughout the session, she has provided insightful and honest feedback with practical strategies. I always leave her sessions feeling more empowered, hopeful and equipped to handle my challenges. I highly recommend Ms. Barkha to anyone seeking support and guidance on their mental health journey.

I'm glad to have started my therapy journey with Dr Barkha who made me comfortable with the concept of "therapy", something I dreaded to initiate in the past. She makes sharing your issues easy, especially when it is so difficult to open up about all of your fears, feelings and trauma. I have experienced a lot of improvement in how I see myself and how to look at my mental issues logically, instead of blaming myself, thanks to my sessions with Dr Barkha.

I started visiting barkha when I was multiple anxiety attacks and I was suggested medication with therapy. I was tired of going to judgemental therapists and know it all's that just don't listen to you and address your concerns. A friend recommended her to me and I started feeling better after 3 to 4 sessions. It will take longer for someone who has more complex issues. I would totally recommend her.

I began seeing Ms. Barkha Patel during one of the most challenging periods of my life—navigating the aftermath of my divorce. From our very first session, Ms. Barkha Patel created an environment of warmth and trust that made me feel safe to open up about my feelings of loss, anger, void and confusion.

She skilfully guided me through the process of understanding and accepting my situation, while providing practical tools, lessons to manage my emotional health.
Her patience and attentive listening were particularly helpful. She always seemed to know just the right questions to ask that would lead me to deeper self-awareness and growth. Each session with her brought new insights and a gradual return to a sense of normalcy and hope for the future.
One of Ms. Barkha Patel's strengths is her ability to tailor her approach to fit the unique needs of her clients. She integrated elements of cognitive behavioural therapy with other mindfulness practices that suited my personality and situation, helping me rebuild my confidence and move forward.
Thanks to Ms. Barkha Patel, I now feel more resilient and equipped to handle whatever comes next in my life. Her support was instrumental in my recovery from my divorce, and I am immensely grateful for her help.

Ms. Barkha isn't just any therapist; she's been a big help for me. When I first started seeing her, I was feeling pretty low. But thanks to her, I've made some big strides. And let me tell you, as a psychology student, I know what to look for in a therapist – Ms. Barkha ticks all the boxes.
One of the first things she did was help me see the strengths that I'd been overlooking. She's got this knack for making you feel good about who you are. Then, she helped me tackle those irrational fears that were holding me back. With her guidance, I started facing them head-on, and over time, they lost their power over me.
Overall, Ms. Barkha's been instrumental in boosting my confidence, calming my anxiety, and helping me think more clearly. She's made a real difference in my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for her support.
