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.

Ms. Barkha isn't just any therapist; she's been a big help for me. When I first started seeing her, I was feeling pretty low. But thanks to her, I've made some big strides. And let me tell you, as a psychology student, I know what to look for in a therapist – Ms. Barkha ticks all the boxes.
One of the first things she did was help me see the strengths that I'd been overlooking. She's got this knack for making you feel good about who you are. Then, she helped me tackle those irrational fears that were holding me back. With her guidance, I started facing them head-on, and over time, they lost their power over me.
Overall, Ms. Barkha's been instrumental in boosting my confidence, calming my anxiety, and helping me think more clearly. She's made a real difference in my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for her support.

I’ve been taking psychotherapy from Dr. Barkha since last 3 months. I’m very happy with the progress. The part I like the most is that she is accessible at all times and prompt in replying. This is very different from other psychologists who have assistants and not easily accessible. She keeps detailed track of my case and responds in way that is easy to understand and comforting, without any bias. I feel fortunate and grateful to get the best support, when I needed it the most. For my anxiety, the psychiatrist had asked me to take medication, but I was skeptical. I requested Dr. Barkha to start the therapy without the meds and she was very supportive in my decision. In my case, I’m happy to say that my anxiety and overthinking has reduced drastically and I can notice significant improvement.
Every case is unique, and I’m not writing this to discourage anyone from taking meds.. its always best to discuss what works best for you with your doctor.

I genuinely recommend Dr. Patel. The way she makes you understands your perspective and suggests you a way out is simply extraordinary. I have tried 2 therapist before her but she has provided me with the solutions to my issues. May Krishna bless her with great health and prosperity.

Dr. Barkha helped me understand my thoughts and feelings, she was patient with me while she heard me out. She is approachable and compassionate.
I was able to look at my problems objectively and along with the help of medication and counselling from her I am able to rationalize my thoughts and increase my focus at work. My symptoms are curbed to a great extent. I would recommend her to anyone that's a beginner with therapy.
