Total Health- The Wellness Clinic, Andheri West

I began seeing Ms. Barkha Patel during one of the most challenging periods of my life—navigating the aftermath of my divorce. 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.

I have been attending therapy sessions with Barkha for several months now, and I can confidently say that the experience has been transformative. Initially, I sought therapy due to severe anxiety that was impacting various aspects of my life. From our very first session, Barkha created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable sharing my struggles.

Barkha’s approach is both compassionate and insightful. She employs a range of techniques tailored to my specific needs, including mindfulness exercises, which have significantly helped in managing my anxiety. Her ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions has allowed me to uncover underlying issues that I hadn’t previously recognized.

One of the most impactful aspects of my therapy with Barkha has been her emphasis on practical tools and strategies. She provides me with actionable steps to manage my anxiety on a day-to-day basis, which has empowered me to take control of my mental health. Her guidance on mindfulness and breathing exercises, in particular, has been a game-changer in moments of acute anxiety.

Since starting therapy with Barkha, I have noticed a substantial improvement in my mental and emotional well-being. I feel more grounded, more self-aware, and better equipped to handle stress. There have been several notable breakthroughs during our sessions, where Barkha’s insights have led to profound shifts in my perspective and coping mechanisms.

I highly recommend Barkha to anyone struggling with anxiety or other mental health challenges. Her empathetic nature, combined with her professional expertise, makes her an exceptional therapist. The progress I have made under her guidance is a testament to her skill and dedication to her clients’ well-being.

Empathetic, non judgmental, objective and solution driven - best describe my interaction with Dr. Barkha. 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.

She is one of the few counsellors who has truly made a meaningful difference in my life. She helped me navigate situations where I felt stuck for what seemed like forever—whether it was working through challenges in my same-sex relationship or understanding the complexities of coming out to my family.

What truly sets her apart is her ability to listen with patience and empathy, and to understand situations at their core. I also deeply appreciate her thoughtful approach—her style of communication is both supportive and effective, and the practical exercises she provides have been incredibly helpful.

Iwould wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, time and time again.

Since I was a teenager, I wanted to meet a therapist who could understand the life behind my 'Hello.' I went to counsellors across the city, they all had wisdom to impart, but none of them felt like the right fit for me.

It all changed when I met Barkha Ma'am. I'd found the most understanding, non-judgemental psychologist. After years and years of trying, I found the Shahrukh Khan from Dear Zindagi in real life!!

I have always felt safest environment to share and for that I am deeply grateful.

Thank you Barkha Ma'am, for being the kindest, most encouraging, most caring, most attentive, most beautiful, most dedicated and most supportive psychologist I've ever met.

Truly blessed to have found you and I am eternally thankful for you.

Lots of Gratitude to Barkha Ma'am. *

Dr. Barkha Patel is a lovely person! She was very understanding about my problems. 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.

I was here to meet Barkha Patel(psychologist) for my counselling sessions for depression and anxiety. She’s a patient and thorough listener. 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.

I am visiting Barkha since a year.

Before this, I tried online therapy and another therapist. Barkha’s approach resonated with me a lot more than everyone else’s.

She is patient, empathetic and understanding. She helps in building acceptance towards and the current circumstances while working towards the future. I really appreciate how scientifically she explains everything.

Over the past 1 year I have seen a gradual improvement in my mental health. Very grateful to have her around!

I started my therapy sessions with therapist Barkha Patel around 8 months ago, and since the beginning she has been extremely insightful, relatable and helped me overcome unhealthy mindsets through breaking down patterns and encouraging mindset shifts in a manner that does not feel like a forced process but just a bunch of wired entangled tendencies and thoughts very naturally smoothened into healthy behaviours.

Sessions felt more like a casual friendly catch-up rather than a clinical vibe, which really leaves you feeling refreshed, understood and light rather than feeling like a diagnosis that’s been treated.

Me, my friends and family could experience the shift in my energy after the sessions, I would highly suggest and recommend you to consult her for sessions.

*** ****** ** *** ** **** ********* * **** **** ******* I have been seeing her for a year and she has been very helpful.

Her friendliness and patience helps you very comfortable and helps with anxiety.

She has an excellent way of bringing out issues to light and helping you navigating your feelings without overwhelming you.

She never strays to advice or solutions but will ensure that you are given the tools to solve your challenges.

I went to a few other places before meeting her, and I find her approach absolutely focused on long term impact and improvement.
