What Neha can help with
People come to counselling for many reasons, and you don't need a diagnosis to start. Common ones include:
Anxiety and overthinking — racing thoughts, panic, trouble sleeping. Stress and burnout — especially for people in demanding jobs around Baner, Hinjewadi and Balewadi. Relationship and family difficulties. Low mood, loneliness or feeling stuck. Grief and difficult life transitions. Children's emotions and behaviour, with gentle, age-appropriate support. End-of-life and palliative care counselling for individuals and families.
Alongside talk therapy, Neha also offers holistic sessions such as sound therapy and relaxation therapy for people who find it hard to unwind.
What happens in your first session
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Neha will ask what brings you here and what you'd like to feel differently, and explain how confidentiality works. There's no pressure to share everything at once.
By the end you'll have a sense of whether talking together feels right, and a simple plan for next steps — whether that's a few sessions, regular support, or a referral if something else would serve you better.
Psychologist, counsellor or psychiatrist?
A counselling psychologist helps you understand what you're going through and build ways to cope, through conversation. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose and prescribe medication. Many people start with counselling; if Neha feels a psychiatric opinion would help you, she'll say so and help you find one.
If you're looking for counselling in Pune without medicine, talk therapy is a good place to begin.
