I have been with Dr. Bhavna Barmi for around 5 year with around 2 sessions a month. I have a history of long-term major depression with heavy psychiatric medicine load from different psychiatric class of medicines, viz. Antidepressant, anxiolytic, mood stabilizer anti-psychotic. This wider class of medicine resulted from changing psychiatric diagnosis from depression to Bipolar disorder 2 or hypomania, however this journey of diagnosis did me no respite from 24 into 7 suffering of bad mental health.

I have a history of long-term emotional abuse from my family. If this was not enough my family exploited me economically, socially and sexually too.

I met Bhavna when I was having a complete gloomy period with contractual job and no hope for permanent job. I had just stopped psychiatric medicines, was experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, anxiety and depressions. Anger was very high. Emotional issues were at their peak stopping my overall growth in every area. I was occupied with “what I have done for my family and how they have abused me economically, physically, emotionally, sexually and socially ". I was so overwhelmed with these emotional concerns that I was not able to think, instead of managing my depression I was aggravating and maintaining it. I could not afford frequent counselling sessions as I did not have permanent job, years of unemployment period and financial debt. In this condition Bhavna instead of limiting her help to paid counselling sessions offered unlimited unpaid counselling session via tele-connect in times of urgency n crisis

I wanted to bring my wife Safiya to counselling session to make my life better and to improve our interpersonal relationship with each other. To whom Bhavna responded positively and my wife joined counselling to help me at no extra help. Infect she took care of my every concern like my 3+ years old child become stubborn after hospitalization due to fever and was not doing his school homework. We were provided another full team of counsellor for role play for me and Safiya, Psychological understanding of my child to suggest measure to make him do homework. And this has worked dramatically for me, for our overall relationship and drastically for my child overall learning. Now we get many appreciations from his school and day-care. Not only he does homework but a better learner for extracurricular activities and towards offering of English as a language of communication for him.

Today when I am writing this testimonial, I have completed one year of happy drug free life and so busy with the happiness that I have forgotten sadness.

I am not a right person to appraise her professional capabilities however as a normal person and a client of her I can say that she is Humanitarian, Ethical, Generous and a psychotherapist with great Acumen and friendly behaviour.

At the end I Wish Dr. Bhavna Barmi a great successful in every endeavour of her life.

My husband, Salmaan, has been seeing Dr. Bhavna Barmi for the past five years, and I have witnessed first-hand the incredible difference she has made in his life. Salmaan has a complex history of mental health challenges, including long-term major depression and emotional abuse from his family. When he first met Dr. Barmi, he was feeling sad and overwhelmed, and he had just stopped taking his psychiatric medications.

Dr. Barmi went above and beyond to help Salmaan. She offered him unlimited tele-counselling sessions as and when needed. She also helped Salmaan to address the emotional concerns that were aggravating and maintaining his depression.

In addition to helping Salmaan, Dr. Barmi also provided support to me and our child. She encouraged me to join counselling sessions with Salmaan, and she provided us with a full team of counsellors for role play and psychological understanding of our child.

Thanks to Dr. Barmi's help, Salmaan is now one year drug-free and living a happy and fulfilling life. I am so grateful to her for everything she has done for our family.

Dr. Barmi is a humanitarian, ethical, and generous psychotherapist with great acumen. She is truly dedicated to helping her clients heal and thrive.

When i came to Dr. Bhavna i had been having several issues in my relationship. My boyfriend and i had been dating for over a year now. This was my 3rd relationship. The previous two relationships had ended pretty badly.

When i came to Dr. Bhavna i had been having several issues in my relationship. My boyfriend and i had been dating for over a year now. This was my 3rd relationship. The previous two relationships had ended pretty badly.

I had been having extreme mood swings, trust issues, insecurity and anger bouts that were leading to fights and arguments frequently.

Dr. Bhavna provided me with a listening year. She was actively involved with me and didn't appear to dissociate from my story. The best thing was , she didn't keep reminding me of the time left in the appointment. She was very considerate.

Throughout the session, she actively made notes as well as pay all her attention to me.

After our first session i was willing to come back definitely.

Dr. Bhavna helped me realize that the baggage of past relationships was getting in the middle of my current relationship. She helped me identify my source of insecurity and helped me deal with it. She identified how i use certain defense mechanisms and taught me healthier coping skills for stressful situations.

Assertiveness and emphatic communication to help me address my emotions, narrate them to my partner and mindfulness and meditation to remain calm and rational through stressful situations were taught.

My experience with her has been absolutely wonderful. I would recommend her to every person who is looking for guidance and support with some personal touch. She has in all ways helped me to recognize my strengths, my areas of improvement and aided me to look at the wonderful things my life has that i should then again be grateful for.
