  • In person · Bellandur, Bangalore
  • Online individual sessions

What it involves

Counselling is a confidential conversation with a trained listener, giving you time and space to talk through what is on your mind and to think about it more clearly.

Meena has worked as a counsellor for 35 years. Her work began after the loss of a dear friend led her to Sumaitri, a crisis intervention centre in Delhi, and has since extended to work with individuals, organisations, educational institutions and psychology students.

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
