“Mini ma’am has been extremely helpful as my psychotherapist. Met her with longstanding issues and after seeing several therapists. Others couldn’t do even one- fourth of what she did with me. That is the level of shift in me as a person. I can handle my past and present concerns very efficiently and have gotten over my difficulties with her guidance and support. I thank her so much for what she has done. She has been magical. “

“ Having battled depression for years and having been in psychotherapy before with another therapist, I was eager to learn some new ways to manage myself better, and Mini Nair was a huge help in this regard. She gave me insights into my thought patterns and showed me how I could start thinking differently to change my present and future. At my age, I was doubtful if I could in fact change at all, but my sessions with her made it so very possible. ”

“ The separation from my wife had taken a toll on my mental health and I had lost my self confidence which was affecting my personal as well as professional life. When my well wishers recommended therapy to me, I was sceptical at first but still decided to go ahead as I realised that I needed help. My therapist Mini Nair is a gem of a person who was very patient with me as we started our sessions and she helped me untangle the knots from my past, which really put me at ease. Her way of teaching me how to cope with anxiety are very useful which I still practice in my day to day life.”
