Co-Founder

"What’s my contribution to the world? How can we support and empower individuals and communities who just need a small nudge or an opportunity that helps them take a step towards making that positive change? This has always been a topic close to my heart, my motivation to be able to drive initiatives to support that change."

PRAAN is one such initiative through which we are doing our bit for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. One small positive action does create a ripple effect and this community driven initiative is working towards just that.

Let’s create that ripple effect together!

“I believe that each individual has the potential to create the kind of lives and relationships they desire when they start believing they can…. Most of the times this self-belief is lost in the Hussle bustle of life. At Praan, I wish to explore positive ways of reconditioning the limited thinking patterns, belief system and behaviors to uncover the results desired for their lives, business and relationships. I am passionate about people and treat them with empathy and compassion. I find joy in helping others live a more fulfilled life..”

At Praan, we believe that the client should have complete freedom to choose the right therapist for them. You can choose the therapist from our pool of counsellors. If your desired counsellor is unavailable, we will suggest another counsellor who is equally competent to work with you.

Therapy is never about questioning your ability to manage your stress/problems. It is about empowering you to manage that same problem better, by giving you a holistic view of the problem along with a non-judgemental perspective. This means that in the process of therapy, you will start seeing the same problem through various angles which is almost always of h
