In January 2024, I sought Barkha’s help to improve my relationship with my family, and again in November 2024, to cope with my breakup. One thing I truly appreciate is how Barkha maintains a thorough record of all our sessions. When I returned in November, she was able to refer back to insights and observations from our January sessions, demonstrating her dedication to truly understanding her clients and connecting the dots over time.
I’ve had a total of five sessions with her, and each one has been transformative. Barkha’s ability to listen deeply and allow space for me to express myself without interruption is extraordinary. She has a remarkable talent for breaking down complex issues logically and explaining them in a way that’s easy to understand, particularly when it comes to the workings of the brain.
Overall, my experience with Barkha has been incredibly positive. Through our conversations, I’ve gained valuable insights into life and personal growth, and I feel like I’m becoming a better version of myself.

An extremely good counsellor, who truly believes in helping her patients. She is one of those who truly wants to make counselling easy, understandable and accessible for all. Didn't prescribe endless sessions for the sake of it. Only the reasonable amount I needed to get better. And is readily available in case I need her help.

counseling pertained to assistance and guidance for resolving personal /anger problems and change the way of looking at routine life/relationship matters. Dr Barkha listens to your various conversation/mind thoughts calmly and reverts to the point psychological inference /explanation / examples in resolving our mind created cloudy chaos of thoughts/ assumption. I have been able to resolve my issues quiet comfortably by Dr. Barkha's thorough clinical inputs and it has been fully worth.

Her ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions has allowed me to uncover underlying issues that I hadn’t previously recognized.
One of the most impactful aspects of my therapy with Barkha has been her emphasis on practical tools and strategies. She provides me with actionable steps to manage my anxiety on a day-to-day basis, which has empowered me to take control of my mental health. Her guidance on mindfulness and breathing exercises, in particular, has been a game-changer in moments of acute anxiety.
Since starting therapy with Barkha, I have noticed a substantial improvement in my mental and emotional well-being. I feel more grounded, more self-aware, and better equipped to handle stress. There have been several notable breakthroughs during our sessions, where Barkha’s insights have led to profound shifts in my perspective and coping mechanisms.
