Client Experiences

"Before counselling, I was always distracted and couldn’t focus in class or on my homework. I have ADHD, and it felt like my mind was all over the place. I’d forget things, get behind on assignments, and then feel really bad about myself. I kept thinking I just wasn’t good enough, and I was always stressed about exams and my grades dropping."

"When I started working with Sucheta, things slowly started to change. She listened to me and didn’t make me feel weird for struggling —instead, she helped me understand why I found things hard. She taught me some helpful ways to plan my day, organise my stuff, and manage my time better. She even gave me homework that made me pay attention to my habits so I could figure out what was working and what wasn’t."

"After a while, I noticed I was actually getting things done on time and my grades started to go up. I felt more confident and not so lost all the time. I learned how to approach my schoolwork differently. Even my parents noticed the difference—they told me they were proud of how much more responsible and organised I’d become. I feel happier now because I know I can keep up, and I don’t doubt myself as much anymore."

Testimonials

"Before counselling, my life felt so small. I was 47, a married woman without children, and after losing my mother, I felt completely unmoored—like I had lost a part of my identity. Social anxiety took over; I was terrified of what others might think of me. Even simple things, like stepping outside to buy vegetables or having coffee at a restaurant, felt impossible. I started avoiding people and places, shutting myself away in my home because it felt safer."

"Counselling changed everything. For the first time, I had a space to talk about my fears without feeling judged or ashamed. Sucheta helped me gently challenge the thoughts that were keeping me stuck. Little by little, I began to feel more confident—first with small steps, like going to the market, and then gradually enjoying coffee outside again. Now, I’m not held back by my anxiety. I feel braver, more comfortable in social situations, and more like myself again."

Testimonials

"I was always terrified of speaking in front of anyone. Even just thinking about giving a presentation made my heart race and my mind fill with negative thoughts like, “You’re going to mess up,” or, “Everyone will laugh at you.” My self-confidence was really low, and I’d always doubt myself, so I tried to avoid speaking up in class or anywhere else. When I did have to talk in front of people, I would freeze up and sometimes even forget what I wanted to say."

"When I started visiting Sucheta, she understood how scared I was and never made me feel silly about it. She taught me simple mouth exercises, and we practiced public speaking together, sometimes even doing impromptu speeches to help me get used to it. We talked a lot about the negative things I said to myself, and she helped me find ways to challenge those thoughts and be kinder to myself. She also taught me how to recognise and manage my emotions and use breathwork so I wouldn’t get stressed."

"After a while, I noticed that I didn’t panic before presentations anymore. I actually delivered one in class and felt proud of myself for the first time. I’m more confident now, not just with public speaking but in other parts of my life too. My teachers and friends saw the difference, and I feel like I can handle things that used to scare me. Learning to stay calm has really helped me do better in school and not let fear control me."

Testimonials

"When I met Sucheta at that point, I was going through a sad and lonely phase of my life. I was completely broken and alone. As a 27-year-old introvert, I was used to keeping my feelings inside, but after going through emotional abuse in my marriage and then the pain of divorce, things got worse. My parents and people around me made me feel ashamed, like I was a failure. I started to believe I wasn’t good enough and blamed myself for everything that happened."

"In counselling, for the first time, I felt truly listened to—without judgment or blame. Sucheta helped me understand that I deserved the same kindness I gave to others. She taught me how to treat myself with compassion, even when I made mistakes or felt low. Little by little, I stopped shaming myself and started accepting who I am."

"Now, I feel lighter and more at peace with myself. I don’t let others’ opinions define me anymore. I’m learning to be gentle with myself, and now, I finally believe I am enough, just as I am. Self-compassion has changed how I see myself and helped me find strength to move forward.
