She's very approachable, easygoing and calming. It's so interesting to listen to the various coping mechanisms she puts forth in order to better navigate whatever I'm dealing with. As a teenager, mental health and talking about personal demons is so stigmatised in today's society, that it felt super cathartic and comforting to let loose and work through my issues and insecurities in great detail.

I have been attending sessions with Sruthi for close to 2 months now and I am very happy at this point. The sessions have been positive, and informative. It's helping me reflect responsibly and look at issues in a pragmatic manner. I also like the fact that she makes it a point to reach out personally even between sessions.

I reached out to Sruthi as a new mother who was learning to deal with parents and family members being away. Sruthi was patient and heard everything I had to say carefully. She had an immediately calming influence on me. During our consultations, she laid out different perspectives for me to think about and also gave me some exercises and mental models to use and understand. All my sessions with her were productive and the best part was how she made sure to keep in touch and check up on me from time to time after our sessions were over. That really made me feel cared for. Thank you Sruthi for all your help.

It’s so peaceful to talk to Dr.Sruthi. She listens so intently, and even if I bring up something I had spoken about in an earlier conversation, she immediately knows. That makes me feel so important. I remember in the beginning I had a lot of physical manifestations of my anxiety and I used to cry easily, through 4-5 sessions, Sruthi was able to give me practical solutions of things I could be doing that would help. It’s reached a stage where those physical symptoms have drastically come down, and now I am able to deal with those so much better. She is very professional and genuinely concerned, like she keeps in touch with you even in between sessions. Session plans are given after each session and I have found those very useful. Definitely recommend her 100%.
She was very patient and calm on our first session I was very sad and out of breath becuase of my job and i was late for my session and yet she kept a smile and she was very sweet to understand my situation which made it even more possible for me to open upto her and tell her the core of my problems . And I would recommend her to my friend if they needed any consultation regarding any life choices or difficulties where they feel they are alone . She gives a voice to your strength to take over your pain and problems.
I started my counselling sessions in the month of June 2020. I was recommended of Mrs.Sruthi by my sister. I was looking forward to counselling as I was experiencing poor mental health with my major concerns being depression, anxiety and paranoia. The current situation Of Covid 19 led to an all time personal and professional low point in my life.
Her sessions helped me understand and process the situation better and also reflect and improvise on myself. The techniques and mediums used for therapy were convenient, practical and extremely helpful. I not only feel better mentally but also feel physically better by achieving proper routines, schedules and activity cycles. I would like to conclude by saying I'm extremely satisfied with Mrs. Sruthis approach and therapy. She is hands on with you in your journey and can provide you with necessary confidentiality and freedom of expression. Thank you
