The Happiness Potion

“My sessions with Dhwani were really helpful. We spoke about those things/issues that I might not be able to speak with myself about. And also progressively working on them. She is Young. Passionate. Understanding. And all other adjectives that define an empathetic person. She brings out the best in you.”

“I’ve come so far with your help. Out of all the psychologists, I found you approachable and this is the longest I’ve continued with therapy. Thank you for guiding me throughout. I'm glad I came across you. I never thought I could do without therapy ever, but I feel I’m ready to face the world again. “

“Dhwani has been an amazing therapist. She has always been there for my rants, vent outs, dilemma, questions and what not. She made me understand how my past is affecting my present, which I never paid attention to. She has really helped me come out of some serious bad days and thoughts, and now I am at a stage where I am capable enough to handle and acknowledge my bad days or emotions. She really helped me in acknowledging my emotions, and I think I really needed that. Best part is she actually helped me bit by bit daily, rather than asking me to go overboard for a change in one day. I really feel good and calm nowadays.”

“ I have come a very long way. At first I was skeptical about starting therapy as I didn’t believe that it is for everyone but I am so glad that I came here, and it became such an important part of my healing journey. I am SO satisfied with the way I was heard, respected, and motivated to be better for myself. Dhwani is such an amazing person, I am so glad that she was my therapist. The last 2.5 months have been very peculiar for me, but with her being there for me- these months also marked a great learning curve. She never imposed her thoughts or the “right” way to go about anything. She heard me every step of the way, made me work through my emotions, and always supported the decisions I made. I came broken in places I always took pride in. When I think about it now, I couldn’t have done all this healing without her. It's not like she gave me any pill, but how she validated my feelings and strengthened my beliefs was so impactful. It's like, hearing out loud everything I ever wanted to do, but I didn’t have the courage to. I set foot in therapy without any expectations from a very hopeless perception. But my healing curve is very much impacted by it, with Dhwani by my side. I really appreciate how she was never judgemental when I retraced my steps, went back on my decisions. She always treated me like a rational human, and not a messed up person. And I can’t be more grateful for that, and for her!”

“My therapist helped me throughout my journey of severe anxiety and depression. I still remember my first session, when I just spoke a few lines and felt so exhausted and thought, this ain’t gonna work either. But with time, I tried to show up for the sessions and she made me realise that it was a big thing because I was trying and she helped me, supported me and kept reminding me, one step at a time. From that day, I never looked back. Of Course, I had some good and bad days but Whenever I felt I couldn’t do it, she was there to show me how far I came and I can’t give up. I ain’t fully healed yet, I still have a lot of wounds to work on but she made me learn that you can’t always be the happiest. What you can do is to learn to deal with your emotions and not let them get in your way all the time. Forever grateful to her. “

“My counsellor is a thorough professional. She helped me deal with issues related to childhood trauma and relationships. Her guidance has helped me adopt a healthier outlook in these aspects and towards life in general. I would recommend her to anyone who requires it. I'm happy that I chose Dhwani as my counsellor.”

“ I started therapy with Dhwani because I was dealing with a high level of anxiety including panic attacks, and I was in a grieving phase. With regular sessions I could see that I am more calm, relaxed and accepting than I was before and I was able to find constructive alternatives to deal and manage my anxiety much better now. The sessions helped me to get going again and helped me deal with my anxiety which I thought was a totally impossible task. I would highly recommend her to others as well. She has been an empathetic listener, a supportive counsellor and has helped me in many ways to be a more efficient person.”

“So before joining the therapy session with Dhwani Ma'am I was very skeptical about how the therapy sessions would go. I was also wondering if I would be comfortable with ma'am. But when I took the first session I felt very comfortable with her. I could easily be open with her. I always look forward for having sessions with her every week. She is a very good listener and has been very supportive, empathetic to the issues that I am dealing with in my life. She has always been there to listen to my vent outs and is a friendly psychologist. I can easily share things with her. As I kept on starting sessions with ma'am I started feeling better and could see improvement in my mood. Sessions with her are very natural, safe and comfortable.

”My counsellor was the friendliest and so comforting. She helped me get out of the rut I was stuck in, get my emotions going and even bring out all the issues I had within myself. Really grateful for the sessions.”

“Thank you so much for hearing me out always. You don’t know how light you have made me feel. I had been itching to vent all of it out and I feel I have been relieved of that baggage. I’ve started looking at things from a different perspective now. I really am thankful for the sessions.”
