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.

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!

Barkha creates a safe space for you to express yourself without any judgement. She is super empathetic & holds space for you, however minuscule the problem you think you can't get over. Due to her diverse experience, she is able to understand your problem, which makes you feel seen. She has a healthy outlook on therapy as a tool, and tries to make you independent & suggest you ways of thinking that help you solve your problems on your own. Very grateful I found her during a tough period in my life, she has helped me a lot. Would recommend her to anyone seeking help for their mental health struggles or to gain a deeper knowledge into their harmful patterns of behaviour.

She has this amazing quality of remembering even the minute details shared by her clients over a period of all the sessions. Ms. Barkha has created a safe and non-judgemental space where I could openly share my thoughts and feelings. Her empathetic and compassionate approach made it easy to discuss even the most awkward and difficult topics.
Throughout the session, she has provided insightful and honest feedback with practical strategies. I always leave her sessions feeling more empowered, hopeful and equipped to handle my challenges. I highly recommend Ms. Barkha to anyone seeking support and guidance on their mental health journey.
