Ms. Prachi Rathi

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 went to Prachi full of fear and trepidation, but fully knowing I needed help. I fully credit her for helping me completely overhaul areas of my life. She is an incredibly open-minded, understanding, ever smiling and empathetic person who made me feel that I could talk about anything. She really helped me to see things as they actually are, and not as I thought they were. She offered many unique, insightful and penetrating interpretations, which questioned many of my actions and thought processes and turned some of my previous beliefs upside down. I was frequently challenged to consider things from a different angle and acknowledge the influence of my subconscious self. She was extremely candid at times, which I really appreciated, as this was all about openness and honesty and made me realize that things which I took as acceptable, might at times cause stress to those around me. She also helped me air frustrations objectively, when at times, I thought I would hit a brick wall. When I thought I was always right she cleared the perspective and balance, which was the most insightful part of our interactions. Slowly but surely, she helped me navigate a different pathway, and, despite some hurdles along the way, until I felt safe enough to be left in charge of my own life again. I found this as an incredibly cathartic experience and after more than twelve months of therapy, I am in a much better place. I would strongly recommend Prachi and the counselling she provides. Thank you so much, Prachi - you have helped change my life for the better!

I started therapy at mansitherapy with therapist Prachi in Jan. Its truely said "we are our own enemy, we are our own best friend"....i have been my enemy since last 20-25 years.... And the reason was only few beliefs that i held so strongly all these years.....i could not believe that the reason for all the suffering i went through all these years is such a simple thing.... And prachi is the one who guided me to realise that and helped me to to take a step forward from my misery.... I felt after the first 2 sessions that i should discontinue because so many deep hidden issues popped up that i became uncomfortable... But i persisted and prachi gave me a new perspective to look at the problems n helped me deal with it....its very important to continue sessions till the end and give yourself time to understand your real problem, the root of all problems and heal slowly.... And the psychologist too needs time to understand us... So its important that you persist... ..and the best part is she never judged me... Though i felt i lost my mind and i m not a good person.... She treated me like a normal person having some difficulties with life.....and the way she guided me is outstanding..... She is the best person i could have gone to seek help....and i m so grateful to god that he took me to her.... Lastly to all who are reading this and need help ill say.... " you dont have to reincarnate to be born again, you can do it in this life".... I heard it in a movie and now i know that its true... But you have have to take the step for yourself, to take a decision to suffer or put an end to ur suffering... And only you can do it.

I have been consulting Prachi for over two months for my anger issues. Only after a few sessions I could see the changes in me. She listens to you carefully and gives nice and simple solutions of your problems. I am in a relationship and we are getting married soon, my anger issue was ruining the relationship gradually, thanks to Prachi that I can manage my anger and keep my cool in the stations where I used to get angry and ye ll. I strongly recommend to consult Prachi if someone has similar issues or if she/he is going through a rough time in life.

I consulted Prachi when I was in the dumps. I couldn't go on, and sought help. I was lucky I got referred to her. That in a few sessions, I was able to open up to her, share with her the deepest and darkest of my troubles and secrets, knowing all the while that whatever I said to her would always be confined to the room in which it was said, speaks volumes for what a wonderful human being and therapist Prachi is. She healed me. Prachi helped when no one else did. Prachi helped when nothing else could. She listened, understood, counselled, and through her measured and wise choice of words, she simply held up a mirror to me minus all the shadows of doubt and despair that tormented me whenever I looked myself in the mirror. I recovered, from something so deep I didn't even realise I was suffering. I can only thank her for .. everything, and I pray and hope that you continue to mend broken souls like me. Thank you!

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.

So, I have been seeing Prachi Rathi mam for a little more than 3 months now. I had never done counseling before this. I was motivated to change my life for the better. She has helped me with depression. Helped me get out of gaming and youtube addiction. Taught me how to have conversations(I had trouble talking with women especially). Suggested 2 great books that are helping a lot in self-development. Helped me resume my work again(Was not working at all for more than a year). Helped with anger management. All in all, it is really a great experience to have someone listen to you so patiently and try to help you with your problems. I am very much thankful to her for changing my life. Thanks a Lot!!

My experience was amazing with Psychologist Prachi maam. I had a lot of issues before consulting her such as self esteem issues, phobias etc. But after taking counselling from her, I recovered a lot. I could focus on my studies much better. Maam also taught me self love and self acceptance. Now i feel like I'm free from all those problems and i can see a happy future only because of her.

I also did one month internship training program under her. She is really good as a trainer as well. Almost all the important concepts of counselling were covered in the internship program. I got to know a lot from the program.

I trained under Ms. Prachi Rathi for over a month where she trained us in counselling skills and gave us deep insights into how everything works in the world of counselling. Initially i had my inhibitions about the course but i have to say that it was extremely wholesome and was conducted in a very interactive and practical-based manner. The kind of experience i have got here is rare for any undergraduate to get and i am extremely satisfied with all that the course had to offer. Additionally, Prachi's passion for the field is not only contagious but also highly evident in the way that she structures and follows through with her sessions while her teaching techniques are also interesting and engaging. The whole experience was massively enriching and i would recommend her without even thinking twice.

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.
