Excellent experience!!
We were referred to Ms. Barkha for cognitive behaviour therapy due to an underline condition called TICS.In our first visit she took her time to understand the problem, learn about my child's history, family history in detail. She then explained to us the reason for my child suffering with TICS post that she explained on how to go about correcting the anomaly and involuntarily bodily movements cause due to TICS.We were told this would take anything between 6 to 8 session (1 per - 7 to 15 days) depending upon the progress made.My child was guided, in addition to the therapy, on how to bring about the correction and the exercises that he needed to do on a daily basis, in very simple words that any child will easily understand. Progess had to be monitored at home and was asked in the upcoming session. As a result of her therapy and guidance my child showed remarkable progress at the end of 3rd session. One point to highlight is my child religiously followed her therapy exercise and guidance at home.At the end of 3rd session we were told to discontinue her session provided my child continue with therapy and the guidance given at home.During our interaction we found Ms. Barkha to be thorough professional , very punctual and confident about her work.We wish her all the very best!!

Dr. Barkha is the calmest, most patient and genuine therapist! I found her via practo when I really needed her. It was like having a really wise friend whose only goal is your betterment. She heard me say the same things over and over, sat with my problems while offering easiest solutions. I have never felt rushed or judged during the sessions.

I have been going to Barkha since July'25 and have experienced significant improvement in myself and my thoughts. The sessions with her has helped me take required steps towards my goals, and that too in a manner that I am comfortable with. The major changes she has helped me with is to navigate through my overthinking, putting thoughts into actions and learning to let go of things .Not only did I find the sessions worthwhile , but I had also recommended her to a few friends who had similar experience , and found her sessions very helpful. Thus extending my recommendation now to the larger crowd :)

Barkha knows my issues and is able to map out my thought processes really well. She has helped me recognize the automatic anxious thoughts and deal with them as separate from myself. This outlook has been of significant help.

Dr. Barkha has been very patient right from the first session and has really taken the time to understand me and analyze everything properly instead of just brushing past things. She started from scratch and really tried to understand where I’m coming from, which honestly my previous therapist did not do.
With my previous therapist, I often felt shut down and unheard, and therapy just didn’t feel like it was working for me. But with Dr. Barkha, I’ve actually felt understood and comfortable opening up. Her approach has genuinely helped me a lot, and I’m really grateful for it.

I consulted for psychotherapy. My first session was conducted online and that itself helped a lot. She listened and diagnosed the issue and her suggestions to tackle that were apt, and worked for me. I have visited couple of more times and she always helped me navigate and resolve those issues
