Pause for Perspective, Begumpet

Comment following my first appointment with Aarathi Selvan.

Aarathi asks questions that make one pause and think about the feelings one is experiencing. Enables a space for reflective conversation. Enables a space to spend engaged time exploring one specific feeling (or thought, or turn of phrase, or memory) at a time. The pace of the conversation and the manner of focus was helpful for me - as well as instructive - because I often think/ feel/ speak multiple things in a rush. The conversation enabled different framings/ perspectives for a few things I felt I 'knew' about, and this first appointment felt like a good start for going ahead into more interactions with her.

I visited Nida ma'am concerning my mental well being.I had depression.She was very effective in recognizing my problems and strengths.She instilled in me courage to fight my issues.She also helped me to rebuild my confidence.Moreover,she is very friendly and never forced me to reveal things that I was not comfortable with.She has also reached out to me in emergency situations.I strongly recommend her.

For the first time I felt so much at ease with myself and I could be completely light, and felt so comfortable sharing everything, without being biased or judgmental . I am now confident I will come out stronger and make peace with myself in the up coming sessions.

Having Nida ma'am as my therapist is like having a best friend with professional expertise.She helped me through my depression, made me trust myself again, and helped me gain confidence. I am a better version of myself now and I just can't thank her enough!

Shazia is amazing! She has this way to very incisively cut straight to the underlying problem and she will remember even if you don't, how it's affected you before: she's really helped me reach closer to understanding the pattern and if you can understand the patter, you can try break it.

I felt very comfortable talking to Dr she was listening to my issues very keenly ,she is very good 😊

It felt like a smooth transition from the previous therapist and definitely seemed very qualified and knowledge.

Overall experience was really great. We had a great discussion and I am hoping for a positive outcome.

She is very patient, understanding and non-judgmental. She makes me feel very safe and helps me reach to a conclusion on my own.

- Very Empathetic while listening to the client.

- Always tries to understand from the client point of view.
