Shama is very friendly and at no point of time you'll feel that you're talking to a psychologist. You can talk to her about anything and you will not be judged. She helped me a lot on my personal issues, helped me recognise them and work on healing myself. Being a sensitive person, my friends would see it as a weakness of mine. Shama helped me in believing that being sensitive is not a weaknesses and it's a quality of a person, it has it's pros too which helped me accept my sensitive side. Having sessions with her I learnt to accept myself, the concept of self care and healing, built a lot of confidence and learnt a lot about myself. I did have an option of getting free consultation from elsewhere. I did go there and didn't like the session so I came back to Shama just because of the 1 session I had with her earlier, which was just an introduction session but still felt welcomed and felt that she would address my issues without judgements. She's totally worth the time. So to the people out there going through the comments to see if you should consult Shama to address your problems, I hope this feedback helps you take a decision :D

This was my first ever appointment with a psychologist and I could not have found anyone better than Dr. Shama. She has a calm and friendly nature and made me feel very comfortable. I took a couple of sessions with her and every time, I learnt something new about myself and ways in which I can deal with my problems more efficiently. I happen to be a very sensitive person and she understood my personality traits really well. She explained various interesting concepts about the human mind and showed me how everyone is different and we can all use our existing capabilities to the best of our abilities. At the end of every session, she used to leave me with an interesting exercise and the next sessions began with its analysis and discussion. In the process, I learnt a lot about myself and it helped me to overcome a lot of self inhibitions.
