Sample Cases of My Clients
I provide counseling and coaching support to people who are dealing with a variety of life situations and difficult problems such as loss of motivation, direction, fear, anxiety, being stuck in the past, confusion about their capabilities and future, trauma, relationships, and even physical discomfort.
Some presenting problems that clients have come to me with are:
- Tanya was just 2 years old when her life was upended by the tragic loss of her parents. Raised by compassionate relatives, she was nurtured, but an unhealed wound remained deep within her. Her longing for her parents consumed her dreams, and as she grew older, it evolved into a haunting emptiness that she couldn’t escape. Lost in a fog of unresolved grief, she found herself disconnected from both her past and present. Through intensive therapy, Tanya found the courage to confront the emotions she had buried for decades. She poured out the pain, fear, and confusion that had defined her life. Slowly, she came to terms with the loss, transforming her relationship with her past. Today, Tanya lives with a newfound sense of inner peace, having made peace with her story, her family, and most importantly, herself.
- Maddie grew up in a household marked by emotional abandonment. Her father was constantly away, and her mother was emotionally unavailable, leaving her to care for herself and her siblings. As a successful physician, Maddie excelled in her professional life, but beneath the surface, she carried the emotional scars of neglect. Every time a loved one was unavailable, her past came rushing back, leaving her devastated and desperate for connection. She projected her childhood pain onto her husband, unable to face the real source of her anguish. Through deep therapeutic work, Maddie began to uncover the roots of her emotional patterns. Confronting her inner child’s needs, she is now learning to heal the wounds of abandonment, nurturing herself in ways she never received as a child. The transformation has given her the power to reclaim her relationships and herself.
- Pooja, an attractive and intelligent young woman, found herself inexplicably repelled by the idea of romantic relationships with men. She carried an immense weight of confusion and self-doubt, feeling emotionally unstable, and out of touch with her own desires. Burdened by the painful events of her past, Pooja found solace only in the company of women, but she yearned for answers, for peace, and for the ability to live a life that felt authentic to her. Through a delicate, compassionate exploration of her past, she unraveled the deep-seated pain that had been blocking her emotional openness. Today, Pooja lives fully in her truth, embracing love and acceptance for who she is, free from societal expectations and her own inner turmoil.
- Uma, 57, spent years trapped in a cycle of fear and self-deprivation, diagnosed with Functional Bowel Disorder. Her anxieties around food were crippling—each meal came with a fear of pain, discomfort, and worsening symptoms. Despite seeing countless doctors, no one could address the root of her suffering. In therapy, Uma began to explore the unresolved emotional baggage that was manifesting as physical pain. Layer by layer, she unearthed the past traumas that had lodged themselves in her subconscious. With a new perspective and newfound self-compassion, Uma gradually let go of the fear that controlled her. Today, she enjoys food freely, with no restrictions, savoring life with health, vitality, and peace.
- Rajeev came to me one evening, his heart burdened by fear and suspicion. For weeks, he had been tormented by the thought that his wife was being unfaithful. His suspicions were eating away at him, filling him with anxiety, confusion, and dread. When he finally confronted his wife, his worst fears were confirmed—she had indeed betrayed him. The discovery shattered him, and the delicate fabric of trust that once bound their relationship was torn apart. However, through consistent and compassionate support, Rajeev found the strength to face this painful truth head-on. We worked through the stages of grief, betrayal, and healing, and slowly, he and his wife began to rebuild. Though the process was difficult, they were able to reignite the bond that had once seemed irreparably broken. Today, their marriage is stronger, marked by renewed understanding and trust.
- Supriya, a 23-year-old woman, felt as though life was slipping away from her. Plagued by severe anxiety, she felt invisible, unworthy, and suffocated by the feeling of being “nothing.” She could hardly concentrate, and her once-bright ambitions were dimmed by an overwhelming lack of self-esteem. Diagnosed with acute depression, Supriya revealed that she had suffered physical abuse in her childhood, a trauma she had buried deep inside. Therapy opened the door to her healing—through counseling, hypnotherapy, and emotional guidance, Supriya began to release the painful memories that had been holding her back. Today, she stands confidently in her own light, no longer a victim of her past, but a woman empowered by her healing. She is thriving in her career and life, living with purpose and fulfillment.
- Radhika, an eight-year-old girl, came to me after her mother expressed concerns about her erratic behavior—fighting with her brother, refusing to eat, and experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety. Doctors diagnosed her with panic attacks, but during counseling, Radhika bravely opened up. She felt unloved, bullied at school, and believed that her mother favored her younger brother. These feelings of inadequacy had taken root deeply in her young mind. Through gentle and compassionate counseling, we worked through her fears and reframed her understanding of her family and herself. She learned that her mother’s love was equally shared, and she didn’t need to be perfect to be accepted. Now, Radhika has transformed—she is a loving daughter, a caring sister, and a friend who feels valued and understood.
- Aarav, a 17-year-old boy, was drowning in a sea of comparisons. Constantly measured against his siblings, his father’s relentless criticism made him feel worthless. He hated the way he looked, his academic performance, and most of all, himself. His friends even suggested he should consider ending his life. Aarav had retreated from the world, gaining weight and slipping into shame and self-loathing. Therapy gave Aarav the safe space he needed to rediscover his identity, unfiltered by his father’s harsh judgments. Through consistent validation of his unique qualities, we worked together to reframe his self-perception. Today, Aarav stands tall, proud of who he is, with a newfound sense of self-worth. He no longer views himself as a victim but as a person with inherent value and dignity, with a bright future ahead.
