Dr. Swarupa Lakshmi (PhD)

I was experiencing serious anxiety issues, finding myself unable to make decisions and constantly consumed by worries about the future. In seeking help, I found a supportive ally in my therapist, who not only listened with kindness but also conducted a critical analysis of my traits. Through our sessions, she not only boosted my self-confidence but also became a source of laughter, adding a positive and comforting element to our interactions. Jer unwavering attachment to clients and constant availability on call created a dependable support system. As a mother-like figure, she imparted lifelong lessons and played a crucial role in alleviating my anxiety. Her non-judgmental approach has carved a special place for her in my life. Furthermore, she guided me towards a fulfilling career path, providing insights into the outside world and equipping me with valuable tools to navigate it. Remarkably, she remembered and addressed my concerns, even after extended gaps between our sessions, showcasing a genuine commitment to my well-being.

I will be indebted to her for the rest of my life. Thanks, Dr. Lakshmi, for coming into my life and providing invaluable guidance. I sincerely hope you will remain in touch even after our sessions conclude.

Hello everyone, my name is Yash, I'm 18 years old and lately i was dealing with Post Traumatic Stress, low self esteem, low confidence, insecurities about my body and social anxiety and at some point i even began thinking about suicide,but i was too scared to take a step and do it coz i know it will cause too much pain to my loved ones and i didnt wanted to see them in agony and despair . So i deicide to practice self love & to overcome my traumatizing childhood and i started trying to figure out the way to heal myself and become a confident person on which muma papa would be proud of. I never talk about my Past, i always kept it secret, i never share it with my parents nor with my close friends coz i was afaird of being judged i though i have to take this secret to my grave but it become diffecult for me to move on from these things ,i realised that i have to speak about those issues in order to move on from it . i decided to visit a therapist becoz i wanted to open up about my issues and traumas and i wanted proper guidance to overcome my depression. While searching for a good therapist i came across practo's website and Dr. Lakshmi's Profile i read the reviews and i felt relief after reading some of the reviews it felt like im not alone and the problems im facing can be solved. So i booked a appointment with Dr. Lakshmi. Initially i was a bit nerves becoz it was my first time meeting a psychotherapist but as soon as i entered her clinic i felt a bit relief and Dr Lakshmi helped me feel relaxed and calm down. Then i started to open up about my problems and complexes . Dr was really patient with me and listen to my problems carefully without making me felt being judged or asham8d of my insecurities. i shared my deepest secrets with her. when i was 8 to 9 years old i was a bit chubby kid i use to get fat shamed by my cousins and friends , one day my older cousins started to make fun about my body.they use to say that my chest looks like female breasts. And one day when i was on my way to visit my uncles shop i was sexually assaulted by my older cousins friends, they were harassing me but somehow i managed to free myself and run away. at that moment i felt really scared and powerless. i was traumatized after that event. i never told my parents about it. this event made me build complexes about my body. i had fatty chest and it was noticeable so even in school people use to bully me and say mean things to me. my self esteem was very low coz i didnt felt comfortable in my own body. i was really insecure about my body and my looks. i had terrible rejection lately. A person whom i was crushing on from 8 years rejected me infront of crowd and it was one of the most embarrassing moments i ever had. after this i never try to approach anyone becoz of my low self esteem and i was scared of rejection . After sharing all my problems with Dr. she guided me in best possible way , she explained the psychology behind the events and made me realize that importance of self love and self belief . she answered my each and every query and guided me .we had 3 session and after that i felt really light coz all of that burden of self isolated pain was gone. i felt confident and ease. now im working on myself to become a best version of myself and to be successful in my career . Thanks a lot Dr. Lakshmi mam all of the session felt motivating & empowering.

I have taken some sessions with Ms. Swaroopa Lakshmi and I have come a long way from the day that I took my first session. I always look forward to these sessions , as just talking to her makes me feel very good and positive. She will always listen to you patiently, but at the same time there are so many things that you don’t have to tell her for her to understand. She will just understand it. No hi-fi words or labels will ever be attached to you. You can tell her all your problems without any judgements. You don’t have to tell her something twice, once you have discussed, even a very small problem in a session, ma’am will discuss it in detail and definitely follow up to know if you have had success in dealing with the problem. If not we go back to understanding and discussing the problem again till we find a way through which I can navigate through the problem and feel better. The sessions to me always feel like talking to a friend - but a very smart friend - who will never let you go very easily and catch you in the places you are trying to escape but at the same time, eases you into a very comfortable zone where you can pour your heart out and receive very empathetic ways through which you can deal with the problem. For me, it has been the right mix of professionalism and a friend to talk to, where ma’am understands exactly when to listen to me and when to take the lead and advise me in a way I will understand. In the initial sessions, ma’am understood me well enough to know, what inam trying to say without me putting a lot of effort in trying to explain myself. She also now knows me well enough to give me tasks to do that I am comfortable doing after some sessions. She takes the sessions at the pace that I want to go and when I am mentally ready to take up a problem and wrap my head around it, she will take the session ahead. You can be very frank with ma’am as to what you are comfortable or uncomfortable with and she will accordingly change the approach. I have gone through a step by step way of dealing with my issues with ma'am where first we understand exactly what the problem is and take baby steps to ease into the problem and deal with it one thing at a time where it is never very overwhelming for me to deal and overcome the issue at any given point of time but when I look back after a few sessions the baby steps have turned into a giant step. I have come a long way after taking her sessions and feel much better, happy and confident these days. I will strongly recommend Ms. Swaroopa Lakshmi to anyone seeking help or is like me scared to approach someone new to discuss their personal feelings, and problems. There will be no judgements of any sort here but only a very understand ear to listen to how you feel and make you feel better.

I had lost touch with reality, lost awareness of my routine basic day to day task (like brushing or even cooking). I was in complete despair, depressed, stressed, felt as if there was a continuous chatter in my head with physical pain that manifests with extreme stress. Even socialising and meeting people made me anxious. Even the slightest of sound made me uncomfortable and send me in panic mode. My family life suffered because of the same. All I wanted was someone to rescue me, guide me, help me cope up with whatever horrible situation I was going through. I am sincerely grateful, thankful to Dr. Swarupa Lakshmi for her expert guidance, understanding and compassionate approach that I could confide myself in her without any hesitation. Both me and my husband have immensely benefitted from her therapy sessions. Simply talking to Dr. Swarupa in sessions has helped us identify the missing link and resolve majority of the challenges . Following her words and tips has helped me back to my normal life and aware of my routine. I have become more aware of my self and more accepting of who I am. My family life is back on track and is great. Thank you Dr. Swarupa Lakshmi.

Dr. Swarupa Laxmi is the powerhouse of positivity. I approached her for a video counselling session. She listened to my problems very calmly, she understood the issues that I was going through. She is very supportive and friendly. She has this energy that she transfers to others and I instantly felt energised and positive about myself. She has the ability to make you laugh even in your bad phase of your life. She ensured that I am filled with positivity and good vibe about myself. She really helped me in overcoming my problem and made me a stronger person who can believe in herself. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going through any sort of psychological problems be it relationship advice, feeling low about yourself or lacking self esteem. She could tell me the things that I didn't even say during our sessions. She has the ability to bring a smile on your face with every interaction with her,no matter how small it is. She made things very easy and made me feel like what even I am crying about. 100% recommended.

We both were ready to get divorced and visited the lawyers office, but things changed from the day when our daughter called for consultation of me and my wife. We have given this as our last try.

My decision to divorce was "knowing the reality & leaving for peace & but after her consultation i understood we need to accept the reality and leave around it in interest of what I want and what is best for whom we care.

Her expertise to understands the different situations from individuals perspectives, analyze the situation and give solutions based on client understanding and strength is phenomenal. Her strength is to seat longs hours and listen tirelessly.

She helped us to find the solutions and answers we seek. Both of us not only come out from unfavorable situation to but also to have better family life and strong relationships.

I do highly recommend her without any second thoughts. Her help will surely make you to find solutions.

I pray to god that every soul should get the peace and happiness...

My son was not talking and playing with friends of his age group. He was going to school in Std III but there also he had no friends and his progress report also had poor grades. But he was also very active and could not rest even for a second. Sometimes he will snatch mobile phone of a guest and start playing with it and some time he will insist on something and not rest till his demands were met. Gradually it became very disturbing for us. My son was intelligent but his behaviour was not normal. Even while talking he will not look into your eyes. Then we went to Dr. Lakshmi Clinic. Dr. Lakshmi is highly intelligent and experienced. She understood the problem and started treatment. We were amazed at the way she engaged with my child in a way which interested him, but gradually he started obeying her. I was going 2-3 times every week. Now after 6 months of treatment, my son is a different boy. He has friends also. His grades also improved in the school. Most of all we are now relieved. Thanks doctor.

Really good first session.She is a very patient listener and could relate to my issues. no judgement.
