Dr. Jayaprada's

After researching extensively, I decided to finally give therapy a shot. I finalized on Dr Jayaprada because she had good reviews and a lot of experience. I was utterly disappointed with the session. I appreciate that she was atleast "trying" to be friendly but her opinions about things differed from mine. I understand that these things are subjective but I am paying 2450 for the session (450 is the first time registration fee) and it is natural to expect the doctor to have an open mind about things. She spoke about astrology, the numerous miracles that she had encountered, invalidated my feelings when I said that I experience existential crisis. How she came to this conclusion is actually funny. She figured it all out by my handwriting, which is great. Not disregarding anything about Graphology. I just don't believe it myself. She believes in astrology. Again, that is absolutely okay. It is just that I did not expect her to give me a prediction about my career. I had also mentioned that my mother talks to me about such things and subtly hinted that I personally do not like it when she does it. I liked how she had lots of books in her office/home clinic. We spoke about few of them. She mentioned Devdutt Pattanaik. How his books are really good etc. But she also mentioned that he is gay. How was that relevant in that context? Was that required to be mentioned there? I don't know. Finding a good therapist is also based on luck sometimes. This was my one shot at it and I can't go for a therapy anytime soon as it is so expensive. I wish it was worth it.

We had gone to the her for couple counselling. The doctor took 2-3 calls in between the session, which broke our rhythm. We were not explained what to expect from the session and we really thought we will get at least some advice in the end. She stopped the session at exact time and we were not even guided when to come next. She left it on us to decide. It was quite abrupt and in fact, me and my husband we felt more depressed and frustrated. I informed her on WhatsApp message. She didn't even bother to respond even after 24 hrs. I won't recommend her for couple counselling at all

I am not a client of Jayaprada, but a friend and a co-counselor and know her for more than a decade.

I and Jaya have been classmates through diploma and in Masters in counselling and we have a big group of 100+ counselors.

The reason I decided to write a review on Practo is, I find her amazing, she is amazing as a counselor, amazing as a person, and an amazing friend. I know so many counselors and I find her the most effective with the clients, Many of us have become her fans.

My family and our extended family all consult her only, she is the go to person for the smallest of issues in my family, I have literally given charge of my two girls to her and am happy for the way my daughters are shaping up. Now all my cousins and their families across the world consult her only.

My best wishes to my lovely friend :)

Our recent visit to Dr. Jayaprada's clinic was for my sister in law who is bit confused for her career choice. She is more inclined to arts so wants to get admitted to a renowned arts college however given she has always been good in her studies, my parents in laws wants her to take up science and try for engineering or medical. She doesn't want to study any of those so I suggested her to visit Dr. Jayaprada for career counselling. The sessions has helped her to make the best choice for her career that interests her the most and that she should enjoy. She is satisfied with the career counselling sessions she had and would strongly recommend Dr. Jayaprada.
