Journey

Beyond words

Meena’s work in mental health began around 1991.

“My professional journey in the field of mental health began with the loss of a dear friend, which took me to Sumaitri, a crisis intervention centre in Delhi. From there I began the journey of ‘beyond words’ — to learn, practise and implement non-invasive therapies.”

— Meena Gupta

Since then, her work has grown to include counselling with children, teens and adults; complementary approaches such as clinical hypnotherapy, foot reflexology, music and sound, and art therapy; and teaching — through certification programmes and workshops for individuals, organisations, educational institutions and psychology students.

Approach

How Meena works

“A strong counselling approach centres on active listening, empathy and treating the individual as the true expert on their own life. Sessions provide a safe, non-judgemental space where people can freely explore their thoughts and emotions at their own comfortable pace. The main goal is to support personal growth and help clients discover their own practical solutions.”

— Meena Gupta

Every person has different needs, so the way of working — and whether any complementary approach has a place in it — is chosen with each individual.
