What is Counselling?
Counselling (or Therapy) is a temporary and short-term alliance between you and your counsellor to: (1) Provide you with a safe and attentive environment where you can talk about your deepest concerns without worrying about judgement, unwanted advice or social reciprocity, and to (2) Help you approach and work on your problems in a systematic and structured manner.
How long does it last?
Counselling is a process of learning and building new effective coping skills and healthier instincts, which require sufficient momentum to become long-lasting. At the same time, this process is meant to be temporary. Therefore, with us, a typical run of counselling is a minimum of 5 sessions (weekly) and a maximum of 10 sessions.
What can you expect?
It is very important to note that counselling isn't a quick-magical solution. It involves a lot of trial and error and a great deal of commitment to change. Effectively, it is an active phase of training in a supportive environment to develop better habits and patterns which eventually turn into better instincts. Therefore, counselling comes with no guarantees. The results of this process depend on how much consistent effort you put into it, both with your counsellor and by yourself. Thus, homework is a major part of the process and crucial to build and preserve momentum. Counselling needs to be viewed as an investment you are making into yourself, the benefits of which you will likely reap your whole life.

ABOUT THE COUNSELLOR

Puneet Agrawal
Founder & Psychologist, M.A.
Hello,
​
Let me tell you a little about myself. I have a masters in psychology and I have been practicing as a psychologist for almost five years. I primarily help clients learn how to work through negative-intrusive thoughts and emotions, how to overcome stress, anxiety and depression, and how to have a more fulfilling relationship both with themselves and others.
​
My preferred approaches to therapy are:
​
-
Cognitive - Behavioral ~ learning to regulate emotions and manage stress, anxiety, etc. through managing thoughts and changing habits.
-
Humanistic / Person Centered ~ learning to love yourself in a supportive and judgement-free environment.
​
I believe that therapy is a temporary space designed for a very specific purpose. Keeping to that, I offer relatively short counselling runs involving REBT and SFBT therapies at discounted rates for uninterrupted weekly visits.
​
​​I believe that therapy is always temporary and short-term, but the self-work and insights one learns through it are life-long. So, invest in yourself today! You're worth it.

but also a place of healing.”
