Highly experienced doctor with a friendly but well-set procedure to extract the root cause of the problem, accurate diagnosis of the issue and well explained process of cure.

Dr. Devyani Katti's practical approach, ** ***** ********* and multiple options given for the cure are noteworthy.

Dr. Devyani Katti is very professional and nice, making it easy to open up and talk to her. She addressed all my concerns well, and the clinic was clean and comfortable.

I had major issues which was causing a lot of stress in my personal as well as professional life. I was looking for counselor on Practo app and I stumbled upon Dr. Katti. I checked and found a lot of positive reviews on Facebook as well. Scheduling the appointment through Practo happened in couple of clicks (very easy).

When I met Devyani Mam for the first time, I felt very comfortable to talk with her and discuss my issues. She will relentlessly listen to all your thoughts and issues. You can share anything that is bothering you with her. I had some major anger issues which were affecting my personal life to a great extent. With every session, Katti mam explained how my anger is hurting me and how can I overcome it. After couple of sessions, I could see a positive change in myself and I started looking at the world as it is. She helped me widen my horizon of looking towards life. Life is more happy after getting some useful tricks and advice from her.

I am thankful to Practo that I could find a counselor like Devyani Mam through their channel. @Devyani Mam, keep doing the wonderful job of bringing smiles and happiness to people's lives. You are an agnel !!!

I usually keep my thoughts to myself rather than voicing them out. But today is one of those rare moments when I feel compelled to share my experience.

I was searching for a good therapist and, after days of looking, I finally found one on Practo. “Tenth time’s a charm,” I told myself, hoping this would finally be it. I called the clinic, and the receptionist connected me to the therapist’s PR. I was insistent on getting an early session—I just wanted to get it done. *** *** ********* **** *** ***** **** *********** ****** ** **** **** **** ****** ****** ****.

After following up, she ******** ***** saying, "I had already told you the therapist is busy, so you won’t get an appointment." I let it go and didn’t argue. The next day, I messaged her again, asking for an update, and she repeated the same excuse: "She’s still busy." What was odd in all this was how persistent she was about an in-person session instead of video.

I decided to try my luck one last time. This time, I went back to Practo and booked a video session for 7 PM—it was available, after all.

The session started off okay. I was clear about the issues I wanted clarity on, and I had already told her that my concerns were manageable and that I had no intention of taking medication. But then came the pitch. She compared my situation to weight loss, saying you can’t lose weight with just diet or exercise alone—you need both. That’s when she subtly started pushing for a psychiatrist evaluation, which felt opportunistic given that my concerns were quite trivial. Yet saying – the final decision is yours. *** *** *** **** ******* *** ** *** ***** ******

She went on to say, “Medication won’t be for long—maybe one to nine months, max.**** ****** ****** **** ***** * **** * ************ ** ********** **** *** ******* ******** ** ********* To be honest, I didn’t take her suggestion to heart, *** *** ******* ***** **** ***** **** **** *********** She kept saying, "Don’t interrupt, let me finish," but ironically, she didn’t even analyze the issues I had shared or offer any real solutions. She was rushing through the session.

And then, midway, she said, "I have to wrap this up because I have an in-person appointment at the clinic.**** ******* ** ****** ****** **** ****** *** * ******* ** *** ******* *** ** ************ *** *** *** **** ***** *** *** *** ****** **** **** ************ *** ***** ************** However, she later said, I can add 5-10 mins to your next session. But the last 20 mins were total BS, baseless, and rushed.

1500 rupees down the drain, but I did walk away with a valuable lesson.

Now, the same assistant *** ******* ** ******* is following up, pushing for my next session.

I completely understand the importance of mental health awareness, but what truly disappoints me is how casually the words psychiatrist and medications are thrown around, as if they’re the default solution to every issue. Therapy should be about understanding, guidance, and emotional support—not just a quick route to prescriptions.

Specific Concerns

1. Lack of Punctuality *** **************** It's disheartening to consistently experience delays, particularly the significant one-hour wait on November 12th. This lack of punctuality and respect for my time is unacceptable.***************** *** ********** ************ **** ********** ** ** ********* ***** ** *********** ***** ** ** ******* ********** ** ** ********* ****** ************ *** **** ****** ** ***** ****** **** *** **** ****** ** ** ********* **** ** *** ******* ****** ** ********** ********** *** ** ******** ** ****** ***** ********

3. Overemphasis on Personal Shortcomings: I feel that you have unfairly focused on my perceived shortcomings, such as my housekeeping abilities. This constant criticism, coupled with my husband's highlighting of these issues, has significantly eroded my self-esteem.

4. Disregard for My Values and Beliefs: Your assumption regarding my views ** ********* is both disrespectful and inaccurate.

9. Unhelpful Advice and Career-Focused Approach: Your advice to focus on my career, rather than addressing the underlying issues in our relationship, is both premature and unhelpful.

10. Lack of Attentiveness and Overlooking Important Details: Your failure to remember important details, such as the skill test I mentioned, demonstrates a lack of attentiveness and professionalism.

11. Ineffective Anger Management Therapy and ********* ******** * Your anger management therapy for my husband has been ineffective, yet you continue to point at me for his outbursts.

Approach to resolving the family dispute is overly simplistic. It disregards the significant financial loss and emotional trauma I've endured. I seek a solution that addresses these issues fairly and equitably.***** ****** ** ***** ****** ** ** ** *********** ** ********* ******** ***** ********** *** ***************** This is not a balanced approach to conflict resolution.

The issue of punctuality is a recurring problem. It's disrespectful of my time *** ********** * **** ** *****************

The fee structure is unclear and inconsistent. I've been charged extra for extended sessions, yet I've had to wait for significant periods. This is both unfair and frustrating.

lack of attention to detail, such as forgetting about the skill tests given by the both of us, undermines your credibility.

Anger management therapy has been ineffective. Your tendency to point out at me for my husband's outbursts is counterproductive and unfair.

I expect a more balanced and empathetic approach to our counseling sessions. I need a therapist who can address the root causes of our problems, rather than simply blaming me for everything. I hope that we can work together to find solutions that are fair, equitable, and respectful of both parties' needs.

I have been visiting Dr. Katti for counseling sessions to help with my depression and anxiety for a few months now. To be honest I was a complete mess when I started seeing her and I didnt really have a lot of hope. It was just another treatment I was trying out. However her patience to listen to my venting and ranting, helping me see different perspectives and her knowledge of the various areas of psychology have made a huge difference in my approach towards life in general. Her sessions are more like talking to a friend - I always feel lighter and hopeful after I meet her and look forward to our weekly sessions. She has the knack of modifying the approach towards treatment based on the patient. She spent time to understand me and my problems first and then started introducing me to coping tools. Knowing my need to understand things in depth she also gives me homework to research on topics and theories we discuss or plan to discuss during our conversations. At the same time she calls me out when I am being unreasonable. Overall it has been a positive experience and I have seen a lot of improvement in my emotional and consequently physical state in these months.

Working with Dr. Devyani has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I initially sought therapy to navigate challenges in my relationships, but what I gained went far beyond that—I’ve grown immensely as a person, and I owe so much of that to Dr. Devyani.

From the beginning, she created a space where I felt truly heard and understood. Her empathetic and non-judgmental approach allowed me to open up about my struggles with trust, communication, and setting boundaries in my relationships. She provided me with practical tools and strategies to address these issues, which have greatly improved the quality of my connections with others.

Beyond relationships, Dr. Devyani helped me uncover deeper patterns in my behavior and thought processes, giving me a better understanding of myself. She gently guided me toward recognizing my strengths and areas for growth, empowering me to make meaningful changes in my life. Her insight and ability to ask the right questions have been invaluable in helping me break old cycles and step into a more confident, authentic version of myself.

Each session feels tailored to my needs, and I always leave feeling more grounded and hopeful. Dr. Devyani strikes the perfect balance between offering compassion and challenging me to think critically about my experiences.

Thanks, her guidance, I’ve not only improved my relationships but also gained clarity and confidence in my personal journey. If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and has the tools to help you grow in every area of your life, I cannot recommend Dr. Devyani enough.

I took a series of online counselling sessions with Dr. Devyani, and the experience has been transformative. From the very first session, she created a warm and friendly environment that made it easy to open up about my concerns. Her empathetic and non-judgmental approach helped me feel understood and supported throughout our sessions.

Through the sessions she helped me analyse my problems better and her mindfulness techniques helped me deal better with stress and anxiety . Her sessions even helped me become more confident professionally and personally . Her feedbacks and insights helped me become more in charge of my emotions and this has contributed to healthy and happy dynamic in my relationships. I find myself being more lively and learning to enjoy and love my life . Her approach is very scientifically driven and her counselling style is not just listening and advising but she actually progresses your well being with step by step action plan which I implemented and benefited significantly. Her forte is making us see the ‘simplicity in complexity ‘.

I was sceptical earlier with how much online counselling will prove beneficial but the video conferencing technology was seamless, and I felt a strong connection despite not being in the same room or not having ever met her in person.

I highly recommend Dr.Devyani for anyone seeking effective and compassionate online counselling. Her professionalism, expertise, and empathetic approach have made a positive impact on my mental health and well-being.

My experience with Dr Devyani Katti Mam can be best explained as an inspirational journey. A journey from the complexity and clutter of emotions and thoughts affecting my married life towards the clarity, simplicity, and beauty of a lovely relationship.

I visited Dr Devyani primarily for my Anger Management issues. And how it was affecting my marriage. Today, after only 3 months of weekly sessions I feel I am an altogether new person. I feel I have achieved a new milestone in my own life after learning to conquer my own anger and manage my emotions in a better way.

Every session with Dr Devyani was an eye-opener. Her strongest suite of meticulously listening to every small detail with utmost care and consideration made me instantly feel comfortable sharing my deepest fears and most difficult thoughts with her. It felt as if I am talking to a very good friend. Her unique way of analysing the problem and ability to explain the issue at hand from a very different perspective helped me to gain a new understanding of myself.

Her deep knowledge of human psychology combined with a humane approach towards her patients makes her very different from other practitioners. And most importantly the treatment (i.e. tools, techniques and set of actions that she prescribed) was based on a lot of scientific evidence and years of her experience. She has a very simple yet effective way of explaining the concepts by using examples and stories (and some jokes).

I would proudly say that singlehandedly Dr Devyani has helped me to control my emotions (especially anger), gain new confidence in myself, put me back on my career trajectory, saved my relationship and helped me to find a purpose and take control of my life. I will forever be thankful for this transformation.
