A Legacy of Care: 25 Years in the Making
At Pune Counseling Therapy, our foundation is built on more than just clinical theory; it is built on two and a half decades of witnessing human resilience.
The Journey to Mastery
The Foundation (Est. 2001): My journey began 25 years ago, rooted in a deep fascination with the human mind and a commitment to helping others navigate life’s complexities.
17 Years of Clinical Counseling Expertise: Since completing my post-graduate specialization, I have spent 17 years in the field. This experience was forged in diverse environments—from corporate organizational psychology and independent freelancing to community-based support.
A Decade of Private Practice in Pune: In 2016, I founded Pune Counseling Therapy to provide a stable, ethical, and high-depth sanctuary for those seeking long-term healing rather than just temporary fixes.
“Those 17 years across various clinical and organizational landscapes are what built the depth I have today. I didn’t just stay in one room; I saw how psychology works in the real world.”

Many clients leave each session feeling lighter, empowered, and more in control of their emotions. My goal is to ensure therapy is a transformative journey — a path to lasting change, not just a place to vent.

Healing is not about becoming someone new — it’s about coming home to who you already are.
