Mind Above Mood, Tambaram West

I have been visiting Mr. Chitrarasu for CBT for a mood disorder of mine. The main thing that strikes with him is his incredible friendliness. I know that most people who wants professional help might shy away from seeking help is because they might fear some judgement. If this is the case with you then Mr. Chitrarasu is your best help as he makes you feel comfortable right from the get go. I have tried some other psychologists too but for me I did not feel as comfortable as I did with him. And also the fact that he charges less for each session makes him more accessible. Apart from all these he also helps me with my problems off the sessions through phone and WhatsApp which shows his genuine concern and dedication for his clients. Had a great experience and can't think of anyone better than him atleast for me.

Very good therapist. I have visited few but none of them could actually understand my problem exactly. He was so good that he completely understood problem and offered practical solutions. Showed so much of patience and interest to understand my issues. I would definitely recommend him.

I was diagnosed with Fatty liver stage 2 in the month of Jan 19 and somehow that prognosis made me anxiety prone and was always fearing that somehow my liver will fail. In the month of Feb, my anxiety has become so bad that I almost went 2 whole days without any sleep. Slowly I started doubting myself that and when I tried to sleep my mind will start racing and I was unable to sleep.

I started believing that I was struggling with Insomnia and I went one step further thinking that I had FFI (Fatal Familial Insomnia). For close to 1 month I would have slept just about 4 hours a day. I tried Melatonin without any effect and then when I was browsing, came across Mr.Chitrarasu.G. Initially my aim was to see the doctor in the hope that he will prescribe some sleeping drugs and that will help me to sleep.

On the day I met him, he somehow put my mind at ease, mentioning he see many people like me and all I had was just anxiety and nothing more and we will somehow work on my issues and will sort it out. He listened to my issues patiently and he gave me the confidence that I can handle the current problem without resorting to sleeping pills and he also mentioned that it will require a lot of effort from my side and having patience was extremely important.

Fast forward 9 months, I sleep normally now and I wont say my anxiety is fully gone, but I am able to manage it better. Before meeting Chitrarasu I know my issues exactly and I know how to deal with it as well but we need someone on our side who understand our issues and are willing to listen to our bickering so that we can come out of that dark phase better. In that sense Mr.Chitrarasu was a god send for me. I recommend the doctor to anybody who struggle with anxiety and please stick to the routine and we can beat it.

He helped me by explaining what's happening inside me

He was so friendly

it was very useful for me

Visited for stress and sleep issues. Patiently listened and shows genuine care in understanding the problem. After few sessions I am feeling far better and confident in handling my issues. I would definitely recommend him.

I had social anxiety and felt always anxious among people. except few of my close friends i felt anxious for most of the time and it was very hard for me to mingle with people and even have normal conversations. It made me feel so inferior. I missed so many opportunities because of this at my work. i managed to survive at work so far till few months,until i was assigned new role. It made me even more uncomfortable and had to talk in meetings. It created a lot of stress and made me seek professional help.

I was so concerned meeting a psychologist since he is a stranger to me and my worry was how or what he would think about me. It was my major concern with most of the people too. But after thinking about this for a couple of weeks i finally met Mr.Arasu. Now i know that i had made the best decision. He made me very comfortable from the start and made me feel acceptable. He explained things in clear and concise manner which made me think through lots of issues that i am facing. I never felt judged and found myself surprised because i talked to him like i was talking to a close friend.He is a very humble, warm and friendly human. An excellent therapist with professional approach with a very kind and friendly attitude.

Since my anxiety was with me from my childhood i was not sure how much i could improve. Dr.Arasu assured me that things can be improved and i can really become what i wish. He asked me to commit to therapy and helped me clarify all the doubts. Lots of things i learned from him also contributed to the changes. I have been attending his sessions for quite sometime and i feel very confident and very much less distressed. My productivity has improved greatly and i am able to mingle more and have conversations with people. I am doing many things which i felt very anxious about in the past. Always thankful to u sir for all these positive changes.

This was my first consultation, he able to understand my emotions in this meeting itself ... He gave me few suggestions... Have to practice..

I had gone to chitrarasu for depression counselling. I was not able to sleep at night and was found myself crying when alone. I was in a confused mind, where i was not able to manuer my career and make required changes.

I was spektical going to a cousellor, because that is how you feel. I was skeptical if a counsellor could help because my past experience with a counsellor wasnt good.

In practo, i saw that his ratings were good and people wrote good experiences with him. And likewise, as i went to his clinic, i felt i was in right sync with him.

First thing i noticed was he treated me like a human who came there with vulnerability. He respected that. He understood that i had a problem and that it needed acknowledment and reassurance. My previous counsellor considered me as a subject. But arasu, was exact opposite.

As counsellors, they hear a lot of issues on a daily basis. But only those who love this profession can have the heart to give their soul in it, to understand tat the people like me need care and should be nurtured in an environment of trust.

If you are a new person, who is considering arasu please read all reviews. Notice, that patients like me have taken time to write experiences on the feedback. People do that only if they are extremely satisfied with a product or service. This review cant be bought otherwise. And i can clearly say that i found a very good counsellor and human being in him. I am very satisfied with his service.

If you are doubtful of considering a counsellor, my advice is go for it. And if you dont like it, write it over here. Im sure, you wouldnt be disappointed.

Lastly, i am going to his session. Though, im progressing to my solution, i am. Able to sleep at night and i dont cry because i have someone who. Acknowledged me. Im confident that i can deal my problems. I would whole heartedly recommend arasu to any friends i have.
