Hi have been seeking therapy from Miss Monisha since 4-5 months now.
Before I started my therapy, I had a lot of fear about everything. Work, family, health everything made me feel stressed. I did not know how to go about my day. I used to procrastinate at work and home. But once I began seeking therapy from Monisha, I see a lot of positive changes in me. I fear less, I am getting better at work, better mood, I have gotten better at communication, I am trying to be more assertive.
All of these changes have helped me a lot. I would definitely recommend Monisha for any mental health related challenges. She quickly understands your problem, makes you aware about your issue and explains in detail about what are the next steps that we should take to tackle it.
She is the only psychologist who I have come across that explains why we need to do certain tasks that we are given by psychologists. How it would help us and we should not be doing something just for the sake of doing it. She is very approachable and compassionate. She does not enforce anything on her patients. She is always open to change her approach of treatment if something is not working.
Thank you Monisha for everything. Keep doing the great work that you are already doing
I have a hard time connecting with people with my emotions and especially when it comes to counselling. However, out of the many therapists I have tried till now (as dated on 20/02/2023) Monisha would be the one where I have spent the most time with. She was comfortable for me to converse with. I couldn't continue with her after some months and that's only because I opted out of counselling due to personal reasons and commitments. It was a journey for me to remember and certainly she helped me to understand myself and my behaviour. Some of the things she said, still hits me, during the times of crisis and I feel like she has given me something for me to carry on for the next couple of years at least. I am happy to share this experience of getting counselled under Ms. Monisha and have been happy to recommend her to those people who are in need.

I consulted with Ms. Monisha Preetha for my personal development goals and regarding some challenges I was facing in my professional and personal life. She is very empathetic and a patient listener. I was surprised to see that she remembered very minute details of my previous conversations with her! She understood my situation very well and guided me appropriately. I find that I am able to understand and handle such challenging situations much better now.
Over the course of only a few sessions, I have seen amazing progress. I find myself to be much more aware about my emotions and feelings. I am working on my physical health, eating better, sleeping better and feeling much better overall about the progress I am making in terms of my goals towards personal development.
Thank you so much Ms. Monisha!
Dr.Monisha, really takes her time to listen, understand the patient and there by suggest developmental pathways. I've reached out to her in the midst of smoking addiction, depression, complete loss of agency and unfit to handle my relationship with my partner. It has been more than a year and I feel like a completely different person now. I haven't smoked in a year, my relationship has deepened and improved significantly, I've overcome insecurities and childhood parental traumas. None of this would have been possible without the Dr's guidance. I'd highly recommend consulting Dr.Monisha.
From my very first session with Ms. Monisha Preetha, I felt warmth and comfort that made me want to continue therapy. She validates my feelings while gently encouraging me to be honest with myself, which has been incredibly helpful. Her compassionate yet honest approach has given me more clarity and self-awareness. Through her support, I’ve learned to treat myself with more compassion, making a real difference in my journey with stress and anxiety. I’m truly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, and empowering therapist.
Ms. Monisha is very empathetic and non-judgmental, she created a space for me to go through the process and was very supportive overall the process. i am thankful for such a support. she handles with such compassion and commitment of my well being. I have felt safe and supported throughout the sessions and her guidance has helped me to develop my mental state

Hoped for better: Treatment satisfactionValue for money
I had two sessions with this therapist but felt the experience could have been more supportive. She mentioned sharing relaxation techniques and helpful resources but didn’t follow through, and there was no check-in between sessions, which made the experience feel transactional rather than supportive. I was hoping for a more engaging and caring approach. I believe empathy is crucial in therapy, and consistent follow-ups or check-ins could make sessions more effective for clients. This is purely based on my personal experience

I had a wonderful experience with my therapist. They were empathetic, understanding, and provided me with valuable insights. They helped me navigate through difficult emotions and provided me with helpful strategies to cope with life's challenges. They created a safe and comfortable space for me to express myself, and I always felt heard and understood. My therapist truly cared about my well-being and went above and beyond to ensure that I had the support I needed. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional therapist.
I always look forward to therapy sessions with Dr. Monisha. Unlike most psychologists who usually do not adapt to the needs and requirements after understanding their patient, Dr. Monisha understands and adapts to how the patient is and uses the most suitable approach. She makes it very easy to be around her and builds a safe environment for you. She is a great listener and sessions with earlier therapists usually were directionless, but with her I see how we're taking steps to reach the end goal. She is also queer affirming which is important for me as a queer person as she understands my identity. I've made great progress with her and its only been a few months that I've been seeing her. I'm so grateful for her and I recommend her to all my friends.
Its been an year and half, getting counseled by psychologist monisha , its big story telling it short. my mind was always been disturbed and was in depression, there were countless sleepless nights, i was mentally ill. one of my best friend once introduced psychologist monisha to me. initially i wondered how this young lady would make me better, but its really a life changing process, within one or two session i started getting trust on her and i felt the change in me. every week i had a session with her. i will be waiting desperately for the session day to come , so that i can talk to her openly, that whole day i will feel myself lite. she is so calm and cool , she will listen to our whole problem without interrupting . she is a wonderful person. thank you.
