Pause for Perspective, Begumpet

I’am really thankful to Ruhi, I went there with a lot of self doubt 2 months back but I came out very strong. I have learnt techniques to manage my anxiety on my own, have learnt to accept my feelings as they are. I have done psychotherapy before but their approach integrates mindfulness which seems to be a long lasting approach. Mindfulness actually makes u feel powerful that u have the ability to master ur mind and solve ur psychological issues. Am really grateful to PPP for this experience

Comment following my first appointment with Aarathi Selvan.

Aarathi asks questions that make one pause and think about the feelings one is experiencing. Enables a space for reflective conversation. Enables a space to spend engaged time exploring one specific feeling (or thought, or turn of phrase, or memory) at a time. The pace of the conversation and the manner of focus was helpful for me - as well as instructive - because I often think/ feel/ speak multiple things in a rush. The conversation enabled different framings/ perspectives for a few things I felt I 'knew' about, and this first appointment felt like a good start for going ahead into more interactions with her.

Ruhi has been working with me for year and a half, and if I look back, it has been a transformational journey. Ruhi is the first counselor in my life and has been very comforting. I recommend Ruhi to anyone who is willing to see a shift in life.

1. Counseling is not a taboo anymore. You go to a doctor for any fever, you go to a counselor for any stress or anxiety or relationship problems or career problems or at least to have someone who can listen to you without judging.

2. People spend not less than a 1000₹ on a weekend outing, it costs the same for a counseling session which is more important and effective.

I've recommended Ruhi to a few friends of mine and everyone has been thankful.

Shazia is amazing! She has this way to very incisively cut straight to the underlying problem and she will remember even if you don't, how it's affected you before: she's really helped me reach closer to understanding the pattern and if you can understand the patter, you can try break it.

I visited Nida ma'am concerning my mental well being.I had depression.She was very effective in recognizing my problems and strengths.She instilled in me courage to fight my issues.She also helped me to rebuild my confidence.Moreover,she is very friendly and never forced me to reveal things that I was not comfortable with.She has also reached out to me in emergency situations.I strongly recommend her.

Having Nida ma'am as my therapist is like having a best friend with professional expertise.She helped me through my depression, made me trust myself again, and helped me gain confidence. I am a better version of myself now and I just can't thank her enough!

I started seeing Ms Ruhi Sameera since 2020. She’s an amazing therapist who helps me overcome my depression and is still with me on my journey of mental health. Her advice is always insightful and it helps me unfold my issues by myself during and in between sessions.

For the first time I felt so much at ease with myself and I could be completely light, and felt so comfortable sharing everything, without being biased or judgmental . I am now confident I will come out stronger and make peace with myself in the up coming sessions.

It felt like a smooth transition from the previous therapist and definitely seemed very qualified and knowledge.

I felt very comfortable talking to Dr she was listening to my issues very keenly ,she is very good 😊
