Riddhi is a life saver. A very close friend recommended her to me and I consider myself extremely lucky to have found and have access to a psychologist like her, as and when I need. Her professional ethics are beyond par and she makes me feel like I'm in a safe and protected environment. Her ability to understand my concerns and explain why I was going through what I was going through really gave me perspective and helped me help myself. Her techniques enabled me to slowly relieve myself of the need for constant support from friends, family or professionals and instead apply calm and clear thinking for myself, as a result of which I am a lot more in control of my emotions today. While my course of regular sessions with her lasted for 3 months, every alternate week, I still make sure that I check in with her, on a need basis and to make sure I'm constantly progressing. She is excellent at charting out courses that best suit individual needs. I have recommended well over 6 other people I know to Riddhi and they have all only come back with great gratitude and feedback.

Riddhi is head and shoulders above the rest of psychologists I worked with. She is very professional, kind, and intelligent. She is very well read, conscientious, and assertive. She also has an excellent sense of humor in that she got all my dark cathartic humor. She is very patient. Given I am posting this anonymously, I must say that I am a scientist with rigorous training in physics and physiology. This gives me a unique perspective from both an objective standpoint and personal experience.
The field of psychology has come a long way. Yet, it is still evolving with advances in neurobiology. Riddhi is very well versed with the state of the art articles and findings. She is very cognizant of her philosophical and other implicit biases. This is very helpful for the patient.
Many counselors (at least most of them I met in India or US) are often ones with the illusion of knowledge. Riddhi is very different. I sincerely wish her the best in her career. It is a job that takes much toll on her. I loved all my discussions with her. Of course, apart from getting therapy, I could see myself clearly because of our thoughts. It's hard for me to find such people to connect in general.
If you are a high IQ patient (based on a properly administered test that is), I strongly recommend Riddhi. Thank you for all your help Riddhi.

I have been seeing Riddhi for about 3 years now and could not recommend her highly enough! Riddhi is an extremely empathetic therapist and every session that I have had with her has felt safe and filled with care. She goes to great lengths to fully know and understand her clients. I was especially moved by the trouble she took to read about some of the books and theorists that came up in my sessions with her.
Over the course of our sessions, Riddhi has not only recommended a number of books to help me better understand my experience but has also explained, at every step, why we were trying some method or why something worked the way that it did. This understanding has let me access greater levels of self-knowing, allowing me to grow into a more secure and empathetic person.
I often comment about how starting therapy was one of the best decisions I ever made and, I can say with absolute confidence, that this statement is only true because I was lucky enough to find Riddhi for a therapist. Once again, I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Riddhi is an extremely talented psychologist. She was instrumental in helping me come out of my break up. She was patient, allowed me to express my feelings, explained how to deal with stress and anxiety. She made me comfortable and it was easy to connect with her. I continued counselling for nearly 1 year under her and never felt need for any other treatment. I strongly recommend her for any one dealing with general stress or trauma in life. Truly wonderful!!

I have been consulting Ms. Riddhi (online) for a couple of years now on issues related to depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety attacks, and stress-management. She is empathetic, patient, and a good listener. She is very knowledgeable. She helped me in understanding the root cause of my problems and explained to me the science behind many of my issues. She switched techniques on the basis of their effectiveness in my case. She helped me out of the most difficult phase of my life by being a constant support. She is very professional and at the same time great at comforting the patient. Her empathy and guidance have been extremely valuable to me. I find myself lucky to having found a counsellor like her!

Dr Riddhi Kandwal has been very compassionate and professional in her work. I have been seeing her for about 6 months now and have improved myself a lot better than before. She isn't judgemental about anything we speak and listens to everything.she keenly listened to every thing I told and helped me to think and find a solution by myself. She observes and care about the minute details we say. I am beyond impressed with her knowledge and patience to care about her patients/clients. I endorse her for her strong willed nature to support people to get better in their lives. I recommend her strongly for any kind of problems that are being faced in day to day life.

I have not had much experience with therapists or counsellors, but I can confidently say that Riddhi is among the best out there for sure. She is ********* ************* *** experienced, she is extremely open-minded, kind, and understanding. She constantly checks in and can read uncomfortable body language and non-verbal cues excellently. She is familiar with all range of topics and experiences, and if she doesn't know, she will make an effort to learn about it so she can better help you. She is very empathetic and is great at keeping you calm. She does both technique-based therapy and talk therapy, depending on the need. I honestly cannot say enough in praise of her and would recommend her without hesitation.

Riddhi helped me tremendously with my mental health as I dealt with an incredible amount of life stress. She was able to explain things to me in a way that really made sense and got me excited to improve myself. For example, I like reading so in addition to our counseling sessions, she would often recommend books or articles that would empower me to help myself. One area we worked on a lot was understanding my emotions - this was something previous therapists had talked to me about and tried to work with me on, but I felt I had some real breakthroughs with Riddhi. Moreover, she has given me a toolkit to help me be more resilient to life stressors in the future. I would highly recommend Riddhi, and should the need arise, I would definitely go back to her. Thank you, Riddhi!

My experience with Ms. Riddhi Kandwal has been so positive and wonderful. She helped me navigate through a very rough time in my life, giving me the strength, courage and practical ways to unlearn and relearn some behavioural traits that have turned my life around. I emerged as a happier and more confident person after my sessions with her. She encouraged me to look at situations from a different perspective which has given me greater clarity and understanding of life in itself. She helped me help, heal and accept myself and I shall always be thankful to her for this.
