Dr. Pournima Kulkarni

Through counselling, I have started prioritizing my own needs and feelings instead of always putting others first. I have become more assertive in expressing my preferences, setting boundaries, and making independent decisions without feeling guilty.

I have noticed that the anger, hurt, and resentment I previously carried have reduced significantly. I no longer feel the need to please everyone or depend on others' approval for my happiness. I have also learned to lower unrealistic expectations from family members and focus on what is within my control.

The counselling sessions helped me understand my long-standing pattern of self-sacrifice and people-pleasing. Through reflection and guidance, I have developed greater self-confidence, emotional independence, and self-respect. I feel calmer, more empowered, and better able to manage my relationships while maintaining healthy boundaries.

Amit and Netra married with dreams of love, companionship, and a happy future. But family expectations, long work hours, and constant misunderstandings slowly created distance between them.Netra felt unheard. Amit felt torn between his wife and his parents. Arguments increased. Trust began to fade. Then one day, Netra said the words Amit never expected to hear: "Maybe we should separate." Determined to save their marriage, they sought counselling. Together, they learned to set healthy boundaries, protect their privacy, and communicate with trust and respect. Over the next few months, arguments reduced, shouting stopped, trust improved, and emotional closeness returned. Today, they are planning their future together, stronger than ever. Sometimes relationships don't need more love. They need better boundaries, deeper understanding, and the courage to heal.

Sessions with Dr. Kulkarni has helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself and the challenges of adapting to a major life transition. I felt seen and heard without any judgements. Her approach is thoughtful, empathetic, and practical.

My sessions with Dr. Kulkarni helped me repair an important family relationship that I had thought might never heal. More importantly, it helped me recognize patterns in my own thinking and understand that my needs, feelings, and well-being are just as important as those of the people around me. Through this process, I learned to communicate more openly, set healthier boundaries, and approach difficult situations with greater self-awareness and compassion.

I have now gained some tools to manage difficult emotions, rebuild confidence, and navigate life in a new country.

I appreciate the safe and supportive space Dr. Kulkarni created for me and would recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and insightful therapy.
