From our very first session, Ms. Barkha Patel created an environment of warmth and trust that made me feel safe to open up about my feelings of loss, anger, void and confusion.
What stands out about Ms. Barkha Patel is her incredibly compassionate approach combined with her expert knowledge in handling life transitions and emotional distress. She skilfully guided me through the process of understanding and accepting my situation, while providing practical tools, lessons to manage my emotional health.
Her patience and attentive listening were particularly helpful. She always seemed to know just the right questions to ask that would lead me to deeper self-awareness and growth. Each session with her brought new insights and a gradual return to a sense of normalcy and hope for the future.
One of Ms. Barkha Patel's strengths is her ability to tailor her approach to fit the unique needs of her clients. She integrated elements of cognitive behavioural therapy with other mindfulness practices that suited my personality and situation, helping me rebuild my confidence and move forward.
Thanks to Ms. Barkha Patel, I now feel more resilient and equipped to handle whatever comes next in my life. Her support was instrumental in my recovery from my divorce, and I am immensely grateful for her help.
For anyone going through similar challenges, I highly recommend Ms. Barkha Patel. She is not just a psychologist but a true ally in healing and personal growth.

She is able to guide the conversation in a way that facilitates self discovery and then is able to articulate the issues and next steps in an easy to understand and implement manner. Her advice is always free of judgment, creating a safe space for the patient to find the courage to open up and discuss any issue that needs to be addressed. And her advice/future course of action is always derived through a collaborative process with the patient, making it relevant, relatable and actionable in the long term. She has helped me in all these ways and I feel empowered by the interactions I have had with her. Read less

I was alone and had nobody to talk with about my problems. I was going through a lot at that time. I had been depressed for a very long time even after being in a relationship with someone. She made me realise what went wrong and how to tackle it. I did what she said and now im free from the illness i had. I wish I had met her earlier. I will totally recommend her. I'm so glad i had her as a friend not just a doctor. She listened to whatever i had in mind and made sure to be there for me. She's very friendly. Thank you so much Dr. Barkha Patel. Read less

Her body language is extremely calming, understanding and reassuring. The most important quality you need in a counsellor is the feeling that you aren’t being judged while you bare your soul and she’s exactly that. She understood the deeper issues and tried to get to the reason behind my reactions which in turn helped in correcting them. A big thank you to her and would 100% recommend her to anyone who seeks help. Read less
