always put my mental and emotional well-being on the back burner thinking ignorance is bliss. But recently, the suppressed emotions came back in the form of intense gender dysphoria and with it symptoms of depression. I didn’t understand how to tackle it but one of my close friends recommended I specifically seek out mental health counselling with Nithya at Heart It Out. My friend was right, Nithya is amazing at what she does. Individual therapy sessions really helped me get in touch with my inner feelings. She patiently and compassionately explained gender dysphoria to me and helped me understand my sexuality as well. I am still in sessions with her but Nithya tells me that emotional well-being is a journey and I am ready for it!

After I realised that I couldn’t cope with my marital problems and the difficulties I was having focusing on my children all by myself, I confided in a friend. He recommended that I try consulting Heart It Out for an individual therapy session. As I spoke to Kajol Birawat, my online therapist, she made me realise that because I was not able to find time for myself, I was largely dissatisfied and disinterested in my other responsibilities. Since then, I have made it a practice to invest in hobbies and keep myself happy along with my other duties as a wife and mother. Thank you, Heart It Out!
Heart it out is amazing. I have been talking to my therapist Kajol here for a couple of months now and am very comfortable with her.
1. There is NO judgement and forced advice. I am made to reflect on my own thoughts and actions and come to conclusions that suit me best...this process has empowered me to live, make my life more meaningful and enjoyable.
2. I have the freedom to choose when I need therapy.
3. Very important: heart it out has an extremely reasonable approach to the fees they charge. I had been putting off therapy because I couldn't afford it (I'm a student) for a long time. All the therapists I approached before heart it out refused to negotiate fees. But heart it out has given me an opportunity like no other.
Thank you! I would recommend heart it out in the blink of an eye. Try them and you will know why 😋
I met Ms. Kajol Birawat at Heart it out clinic. Heart it out is a perfect place for anyone seeking help. Initially I was hesitant to opt for therapy but then finally decided to give it a try. And choosing 'Heart it Out' proved to be a great decision. My therapist Kajol was very kind, patient and created a very non-judgmental space for me. She often went out of her way to help me, provided me with helpful reading and listening materials outside our therapy session. So it was not just that one hour of therapy work. I recommend 'Heart it Out' to anyone looking to seek help :)
Visited For Counselling for Depression & Anxiety
I have been seeing Ms. Kajol Birawat for almost one and half year now. When I started I didn’t believe that therapy can do anything to my depression. But after my first session with her, I felt so lighter. Like a huge burden had lifted off my shoulders. I realised then that, I’m not alone in this journey. She has helped me deal with my anxiety and depression. Empathised with me when I was feeling my lowest. She’s never judged me. She has helped me label my feelings. Helped me get back on my feet. She is very a patient listener, supportive, warm and kind.
The organisation Heart-it-out doesn’t just provide 1 on 1 therapy sessions but also offers fun and interesting programs like Buddy Circle (peer Support group) and Welcome wagon (city tour). Their team members are kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking help.

Please avoid Mindfit. I went to her through Mindfit. The first session was in JP Nagar 7th phase and it went great. I was looking forward to the next session with some suggestions she gave and to work on my issues. I had an anxeity attack and needed to see her that day but she was shifted to Banashankari branch which was too far away and there too many diversions and too much traffic. I got a call from the manager Dheeraj and I clearly mentioned to him about the change of venue and that I will be late. He was okay with it. I reached there about 20 minutes late as there was no parking available for my car in the heavy traffic road as well which took about 10 minutes to park.
Once I got it, the manager had no empathy whatsoever and asked me leave and mail the company. He was rude and made me more anxious. Kajol being a therapist did not even intervene or try to calm me down despite knowing my anxeity issues which I was shocked to notice.
I got a refund but I will never forget what I went through and the lack of empathy shown by these people and how it affected me.
I sincerely request therapists to understand mental health *** *** ** ** *** *** **** ** ***** ** a place with no empathy ** ** ***** ****** *** ******* ******

After my partner and I broke up, I was going through the bad phase of my life. I was severely depressed and nothing would cheer me up. I didn’t have a lot of friends to talk to, so I turned to a counsellor for support. I met with a few different counsellors, but none of them helped me. Then, I met with Kajol Birawat, the best counsellor for relationships and depression that I could have asked for. She encouraged me to talk about my feelings and helped me to see that there were ways to move.
I have been going for therapy with Kajol for over 3 months and it has been a wonderful journey. Not only is she very friendly, she also made me feel comfortable to talk about anything and everything immediately. It is very non-judgmental zone and she brilliantly guides me to work on myself to attain a constant state of self growth.
The idea of therapy for me was a very uncomfortable one but thanks to my therapist Kajol, I've come to understand the need for therapy and how important it actually is for my wellbeing. Kajol has made sure that I have a safe space where I can express myself freely and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

My marriage had been downward spiralling over the past few years. I had become the nagging husband who constantly needs reassurances, which in turn worsened my wife’s anger management issues. We stumbled upon Heart It Out by chance, but our life has transformed since then. Our counselling psychologist Kajol Birawat, patiently heard both our sides. In our couples therapy sessions, my wife began to learn healthy outlets for her anger and I started my long journey of establishing good communication
