What I have gained from therapy is support during a major transition as becoming a mom for the first time has turned my life upside down. The emotions have been overwhelming, both of joy and desperation, and you have provided me with a safe, non-judgemental space where I could process these emotions, feel understood, and most importantly, feel normal. That it’s okay to feel this way. Joy, anxiety, loneliness, grief for my old self, identity shift, sleep deprivation, returning back to the office, partner and family dynamics – it’s a lot to handle. And I feel this pressure that I need to have it all together, but you help me to challenge these unrealistic expectations. I am very grateful for all your time and support, for listening to me and not passing judgement.

If I could go back, I would have started therapy even before Leo was born. I had no idea how massive the change would be from all the different angles, and having professional help would have made a real difference. I also think it would have helped me to identify the signs of postnatal depression and anxiety earlier and seek medical help sooner. Thank YOU so much for your support and I genuinely look forward to our sessions!

Something I learned in therapy is my own way to respect my self and value my self. I have slowly healed and see the life in another perspective than before….and also learned slowly to love my self and let the pass go and look forward. The healing through the process has bin awesome.

Monisha, I have a feeling of immense gratitude right now for our sessions. I have had a week of parent teacher meetings. Previously I would have been anxious and up all night. I am filled with confidence and I am enjoying them. Using my “research” brain and I’m able to access all of the articles etc I have read previously at a drop of a hat in the meetings because my brain is calm and not stressed. I can’t thank you enough!
