In late 2019, early 2020, I was going through a difficult phase in my personal life which was taking a toll on my mental health and subsequently physical health as well. Times such as these come in everyone's lives which need to be seriously addressed and not lightly ignored due to social pressures or any stigma attached to mental health issues.

I happened to meet Ms. Prachi Rathi during my visit to Kolkata last year. I didnt know much about her but simply trusted her credentials and wanted to seek advice. During the first appointment, I was quite impressed with her professionalism and the comforting manner in which i was heard patiently. The main issue arising was regarding subsequent sessions as my work is at sea. Even then, she assured me in flexibility of sessions whenever it would be possible. With being in different time zones, monthly 1-2 half hour online sessions were planned keeping in mind my work constraints, internet availability as well as her schedule. With her , one can be rest assured that she would genuinely give in her best towards all aspects of counselling.

Over the sessions which were planned, i was heard patiently and then given suggested ways of proceeding further. Few ways were journaling, getting busy with my passions in free time, trying to balance my approach, being grateful, practising forgiveness and much more. Review sessions were then held to know my progress. These really helped to calm and lower anxiety levels. I did find my concentration levels increased with reduced irritability.

I took the sessions purely to help me find my balance after the events which had occured in preceeding year. I am a much happier person now with a slightly slowed pace. Life is there to be enjoyed and I hope many reading this take mental health issues seriously and not shy away due to the sheer misconceptions attached.

Ms. Prachi Rathi, whos based in Kolkata and heads Lets Smile, is a very capable professional who can be genuinely trusted for counselling. I would be allways grateful that I met her.

I had a very good experience with Prachi.

She is an amazing psychologist. She understood my problems and advised various activities which boosted my motivation and attention to a great extent. Not only this, her way of dealing with issues is worth appreciating but also she brought out one talent which i never knew was within me. With her advise i started devoting my time in creating Zentangle Art and to my surprise i am doing it so well. I am getting appreciation from people around me and that indeed helps me elevate my confidence to next level.

I went to Prachi at a time when I didn’t have anyone to talk about my problems and I was living a life based on assumptions that I thought was right. But it didn’t take Prachi long to guide me to the right path which eventually changed my thought process and almost immediately I started to see the results coming out of it. I hate to admit that I was wrong about my assumptions but if it weren’t for her I would have never taken that risk to walk that extra mile which has helped my life to get better.

Thank you Prachi for guiding me through those dark times.

Even when life seems all good there might me some issues that may not let one be happy, self confident or optimist. To attain that, one needs a healthy mindset ands emotional balance....And that was when I realised I need some help and that it was time to break the stigma about not talking or asking for help for emotional and mental well being. It was then I found the right person Ms. Prachi Rathi at LetSmile. From day one to this present day I have always found her sessions and advices very helpful and have helped me regain optimism and purpose of living my life again..... Every session with her I've learnt something new and positive approach towards life. All the best keep up your good work.
