Nannalam clinic, Anna Nagar

I'm Uma. I have been consulting Dr.Kanmani for the past 5 months. Though she tried to help me with my self-confidence, the overall experience turned out to be bitter. I would like to share my experience so that it would be helpful to others. I currently live in Canada and got in touch with Dr.Kanmani around Jan. She charges 1200 rs. per session. We regularly had sessions every month and I was starting to feel a little better. Hence I suggested her to a good friend of mine, *** **** ***** ** *** **** **** **** ** ** *** ** *** **** **** ** ****** ***** ** *********** *** *** **** **** *** ******* ****** *** ******* *** *** ******* *** *** ****** *** **** *** **** ******* ***** *** ****** ******* **** ** ****** **** ** ** ******* ** ***** *** *** ***** ** *********** **** *** ******* ** **** ******* * *** ** ***** **** *** **** * *** ** ****** **** ********** **** ** ****** **** ******* ******* ** ****** ****** *** ***** ***** ********** ******* *** * ***** ***** ** ****** ***** ** ****** ****** ***** * *** ** **** **** **** ** *** *** ***** * *** ******* * ****** *********** **** * ****** ** *** **** * ******* * **** ********* ** ********** * *** ************ ***** *** ** *** **********. But recently, I had an early morning appointment on June 7th at 8:00 am, even after me requesting her evening/night sessions, which is easier for me to open up, she went on to book an early morning one for her convenience. Unfortunately, before the appointment, I couldn't sleep the whole night and I informed her about that 4 hours before the appointment and requested for cancellation and rescheduling. After which I dosed off. I woke up right before the appointment and saw her texts saying she is travelling that night and she won't be able to reschedule, the best she could do is postponed an hour but she had asked me to confirm it by 7:30 am. As I was sleeping, I missed the text. But I reached out to her around 8:10 am and asked her if we could stick to the actual appointment timing and have the call. She refused saying she made other plans as she didn't hear back from me. She said she will reschedule but I need to first pay the cancellation fee of 400rs. I was honestly confused as I had never heard of this from her before. She never intimated about this before. Not even one warning. When I went on to ask about this fee, she told me that it has been mentioned on the registration link which was sent to me around Jan. When I asked her why didn't she mention this earlier, she said she was doing me a favour by rescheduling appointments. But not this time. Even she had cancelled and rescheduled the appointments to her convenience, then what about that? Isn't my time valued? And she was super rude about it. I have her texts and voice notes. I shared my personal stuff and opened myself up in confidence with her, *** *** * ********* **** ** ***** *** **** *** ****** **** **** *** **** ** **** ***** ** *** ********* ************** ** *** ** ****** ** **** * **** I am highly disappointed and I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. **** *** ***** ******

I had a worse breakup, tried committing suicide and was admitted to a hospital because I wasn't able to sleep. Was going through a bad phase in my entire life. I had anxiety attacks, was taking antidepressants and trembled to talk about what happened. I knew I had to take therapy. Met 4 therapists and none of them were useful. I kinda lost hope and then a friend of mine referred me to Kanmani. I was really wondering and had the usual questions like 'Therapy would never work for me and what the therapist would say? Maybe everything will be alright and life will move on?' I always thought therapy isn't for me.

I am proud to say Kanmani proved me wrong. During our first call, I really was surprised at how she listened to me and empathised with my problem. She clearly laid out a roadmap on what therapy is about and how it can help me lead a better life. She structured the entire process phase by phase and she was pretty much patient about the process and made sure I understood everything. I don't know how she's able to take a genuine interest in knowing the person and approach the problems in the most effective way possible.

I am at 6 months of my therapy now. I'd say my perspective towards therapy has totally changed. Even if Kanmani is disagreeing with this, I'd say my perspective has changed for good only because of her. She's pretty much thoughtful with the recommendations she makes and lets you see clearly what's ahead. Her attention to detail is mind-blowing. On the last call, we had, I literally was all smiling talking to her updating me about my life and what I'm going to do. Life for me isn't great right now, but she provided me with the clarity that self-love will give you a lot of confidence to face whatever comes in your life. More than a therapist, she really is a good human with good clarity. It isn't about just consultation but a human-to-human connection whereby the end of the session, you'd feel relieved.

If you're going through a tough time and looking for therapy, I could personally vouch for her.

I have been taking sessions for more than an year now. I can never get enough of them. Ma'am, is very very good at her subject. Not, only ma'am made me a better person, but all my fears are gone now. I used to be scared of being abandoned, but now I realise self worth. I am no more a people pleaser, I wouldn't have thought about being the person I am today. I have evolved a lot... I have matured, be it taking one thing at a time or for making small decisions for me. I was never able to do for my self.

Lastly, I want to appreciate the most caring nature of ma'am. Ma'am, is very empathetic, and is always there to listen to me. Whatever and however I want to I can share with her. And this is all because of the space ma'am has provided. The ease of communication.... I just don't ever want my session to end. :-) I am still trying and coping with things, but it's been possible only because of ma'am.

Thank you ma'am ❤️ 😊 ❤️😊❤️😊❤️

I was lucky to be introduced to Ms. Kanmani during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Her exceptional qualities as a therapist made a significant impact on my well-being. Here is the summary of my experience in this journey :

Empathetic Listening: Ms. Kanmani truly listened to me without judgment. She created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my feelings and concerns. Her ability to understand my emotions helped me feel validated and supported.

Calming Presence: Ms. Kanmani’s calming demeanor made our sessions productive. She doesn’t rush through the sessions; instead, provides the time and space to share our thoughts. Her supportive tone encourages open dialogue, making each session constructive and beneficial.

Problem-Solving Approach: Ms. Kanmani doesn’t just listen; she actively engages in problem-solving. Her open-ended questions help us exploring our emotions and perspectives. She guides us through tough moments with compassion and insight.

Flexible and Accommodative: Ms. Kanmani understands that life doesn’t always fit neatly into session timings. She’s flexible and willing to adjust when needed. Her commitment to our growth extends beyond the therapy room. She genuinely cares about our well-being and accommodates our requests thereby offering the much-needed support.

Ms. Kanmani is a remarkable therapist who combines empathy, active listening, and genuine care. Her calming presence and willingness to go above and beyond sets her apart. If you’re seeking support during tough times, I wholeheartedly recommend a highly productive consultation with Ms. Kanmani.

Finding a therapist who resonates with you is tough. But I was lucky enough to find Kanmani! After some research and going through the reviews, I decided to work with her for enhancing my mental wellness. It was one of the best decisions I'd made.

Kanmani changed my perspective on mental health over a series of sessions. She exactly understood my state of mind and was patient throughout all the sessions, even if she had to repeat many points. Her structured approach and tailor-made solutions to achieve our goals gave me a sense of confidence and relief. Also, the mini-retrospective sessions we had served as checkpoints for me to look back and reflect. She is flexible and professional, but most importantly, she is compassionate and treats people with the utmost care that they need. Not once has her response/action triggered me in any way. She created a lovely safe space to open up and was in constant touch to track my progress. Kanmani constantly nudged me to reflect on my progress when I was hard on myself and, that was a game-changer in my path of recovery. I always looked forward to her therapy sessions, as she manages to make it fun. The entire journey was more like a friend guiding me and lending a hand to pull me up!

Kanmani is passionate about her job and determined to give her best to assist her clients. Her grit and determination make her a source of inspiration. She's my hero and, I'm grateful for the change she has brought in me. Kudos, Kanmani! I appreciate your contribution to this society.

I met Kanmani after a bad experience with another psychiatrist. I was going through serious anxiety attacks. Kanmani listened to me patiently and made sure I understand what I am going through ,explained me how we can work on this and helped me slowly to get myself back. At times,when I wanted to give up and resort to meds, she pushed me to practice mindfulness,told me I could manage my anxiety lows even without meds. This is something I would appreciate about her. She always challenges to face our fears and helps to work on it. I wouldn't be where I am now in my emotional strength of it isn't for her. She listens,she never forces her ideology on us. I am glad I found someone like her who is in align with our generation mindset,broad minded with no judgements. Every appointment with her is a perfect safe space for me and I will recommend to anyone who is looking for a good therapist.

Dr. Kanmani is a saviour, her sessions have helped me to bring back my lost personality and confidence. I can proudly say that today I am able to conduct and handle myself in an excellent way only because of her. The way she takes care of all of her patients and treats each case with the level of professionalism is outstanding. Mental well being is a must for all of us even if we feel we are taking good care of ourselves it is always helpful to have someone by our side who can help us figure out our individuality and help us grow. I would recommend and thank Dr. Kanmani from the bottom of my heart to help me come this far way ahead.

I've been to almost 10 different psychiatrists/psychologists in the past 4 years of me dealing with my illness, this is the first time I felt relieved and supported in just 45 minutes of talking to the professional. I connected with her instantly and that helped me to open up and talk about my problems without any inhibition. She listened actively and gave me a clear therapy plan and valuable advice and suggestions that I could try out in the coming week before the next therapy session. The fee charged is reasonable and affordable and being a student, I found that encouraging to reach out for help. I would 100% recommend her service if you're looking for an awesome therapist. Good Luck :)

Dr. Kavitha is very kind and patient. she is patient enough to get to know the patient's sickness and history. I came in consultation for my 82-yr old grand mother for shingles(akki). We went on in consultation with many general physicians and her case was getting worse rather than getting better. *** ********* *** **** ******* *** ** *** ****** My grandmother was almost back to normal in just 2-3 weeks when many said it would take atleast 4-6 months for cure. We were completely satisfied with her dignosis and the way she treated us.

I was referred to Kanmani mam for a disorder that was considered tough. I was not off to a great start because I kept skipping therapy sessions, didn't express much and the sessions ended abruptly or quickly. But Kanmani was patient, resilient and after a year of regular therapy, I can't thank her enough for the sessions.

Rather than sticking to one size fits all, Kanmani explored different approaches and even customised sessions for me after regularly giving ample space to being heard . This in the long run, helped me with changes in the core areas of my life (for which I was initially told to approach to Kanmani)
