I have walked out with a sense of self.

I have had the joy on unravelling my mind with my therapist. I have had numerous AHA moments in the years of counselling with the Doc. I have many a times walked in with unregulated emotions and walked out with a sense of self.

Her kindness, warmth and affection have been the lodestars in my life

I am aged 68. Currently I upcycle sarees and I am about to publish my first book. I don't know if all this would have been possible had I not stumbled into the clinic 12 years ago. It soon became an oasis in the midst of the arid desert my life had become. My therapist confessed much later that she had never thought I would be able to overcome my crippling depression. But she patiently taught me how to live again. Her kindness, warmth and affection have been the lodestars in my life all the years I have known her, and I am filled with gratitude.

I felt lightbulbs on my head in a way I never had before.

Experience with the Counsellor & the Team : My counsellor was kind, understanding, empathetic, and personally, very importantly, punctual. She had a sense of humour about things which she kept handy which helped me a lot.

Spring is very structured and prompt in their process. They have an easy-going way about them, while yet keeping it serious. I felt lightbulbs on my head in a way I never had before.

I'm truly grateful for constantly helping me get better in a safe and loving space

When I decided to start therapy, I was very skeptical and scared. Today it's been more than a year since I've been working with Spring and it has transformed my life. Not only is my personal life better, my work, my relationships and in fact everyone around me as well has been impacted positively. I'm truly grateful to Spring for constantly helping me get better in a safe and loving space.

She has been then rock I didn't know was missing in my life.

My experience with my counsellor has been many wonderful things, soul searching being the top of the list. She has been then rock I didn't know was missing in my life. Professionally, she is flexible and considerate about time schedules for our sessions considering I am not in the same time zone as her. There is some unexplainable ease, I feel with her. She has seen me at my worst and held my hand through the muck out onto the other side. Have you seen her smile and laugh? It's reassuring, pleasant and magic. She genuinely cares and currently, I cannot imagine not having sessions with her anymore.

For someone who is looking for dependant, experienced, non-judgement therapists, Spring is the right place

My counsellor has been my anchor for the last 3 years. I came to her in 2020. I was confused, overwhelmed and full of fears. Slowly, session by session she has helped me accept, reflect, change and work through difficult emotions and memories. She does not judge, does not sugar coat and always offers comfort and laughs. On my worst days, she has been there for me. She has given me the tools, the framework and the confidence to deal with my breakdowns. Today I am in a much better space, thanks to my counsellor.

Many of her friends are with Spring. For someone who has never done therapy or for someone who is looking for dependant, experienced, non-judgement therapists, Spring is the right place. For all my friends who want therapy I recommend Spring. Please don’t fall for affordable, “cool” therapists.

She consistently went above and beyond to ensure I felt heard, understood, and valued.

I am writing this testimony to express my utmost gratitude for the incredible experience I had with my Counsellor. My time spent with her was nothing short of life-changing, and I am forever grateful for the positive impact she has had on my mental health and overall well-being.

When I first sought out her guidance, I was struggling with a myriad of emotions and feeling overwhelmed by the challenges life had thrown my way. I felt lost, unable to understand my own emotions and disconnected from everyone.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my experience with her was her unwavering support and genuine care for my well-being. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure I felt heard, understood, and valued.

She provides a safe, non-judgemental space to speak my mind.

I am working with my therapist for over 3 years now, I started a little before COVID and that ended up being great timing because I really needed the help back then. She has helped me work through a variety of personal and professional issues with a lot of patience, support and empathy. She provides a safe, non-judgemental space to speak my mind and directs my thought process in a way that helps me work through my problems. I no longer ‘need’ therapy since she has equipped me well to manage anything else that may come my way, but I’ve continued it anyway because the sessions just make me happy

I had an initial consultation session basis which I was mapped to a counsellor most experienced in areas I needed help with. And I think it was a pretty good match for me! I have even recommended a couple of friends and a colleague to Spring - they ended up joining and continue to this day.

When I first started therapy I wasn't sure if therapy was right for me but it was the best decision I have made so far.

My counsellor is compassionate, patient and highly knowledgeable. She gave me the comfort to open up to her from our very first session. She helped me identify my triggers and patterns and showed me the ways to navigate through them on my own. My sessions with the counsellor have always been empowering and transformative to say the least.

My journey with Spring has been extremely pleasant and seamless. I have never faced any issue while booking or rescheduling appointments. The entire team of Spring has been very accommodating and flexible. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I owe a lot to her for what I am today and can never thank her enough

I was introduced to my counsellor by my father, in the year 2004 mainly due to my falling grades and lack of confidence in my personality. My father has taken many great decisions for me till I could take mine, but to go to her in my tough time, is probably right there at the top.

I have not met a better listener and a calmer person, than her. After pouring your heart out in front of her and listening to her response and suggestions, you realise that the problem is not as big as it seems and can be taken care of much easily. I owe a lot to her for what I am today and can never thank her enough.

My Sessions Are Never Rushed Through, And I Have Always Left Feeling Heard; Meeting Her Is Like Meeting An Old Friend

I've been taking sessions since a few years, and my experience has been nothing but positive. She has a grace that instantly puts you at ease when you meet her. Her non-judgemental acceptance of me as an individual has over the years helped me examine aspects of myself that were buried under layers of negative emotions, slowly enabling me to improve my quality of life. I'm left impressed with her depth of knowledge in the field of psychology, which is evidenced when she picks up a statement, I have said casually without too much thought and explains my mindset behind it. Sessions are an invitation to explore the areas that cause hiccups in daily life, no issue is too big or too small. My sessions are never rushed through, and I have always left feeling heard; meeting her is like meeting an old friend who treats you as an equal, and not as someone in need of fixing. Today, I feel much more empowered to tackle my life's situations, and also confident that my counseller is a quick call away should an emergency arise.

The ambience of Spring is welcoming, and the vibe is calming and positive; I have always seen kind, smiling faces here. Their garden at the back is one of my favourite spots.

I chose Spring because they have a good process and methodology in every step of the way.

My experience with the counsellor has been very smooth from Day 1 and time during sessions has always been used well. I look back at the immense progress I have made in my journey and a lot of credit goes to the counsellor's caring nature, years of experience and professionalism.

I chose Spring because they have a good process and methodology in every step of the way. During in-take, they are very sensitive and take time to understand you. They maintain the highest levels of confidentiality and help you feel safe and secure. They explain to you what their process is instead of jumping into things so that you can use the process to benefit yourself and work better with the counsellor. They can help you the most if you are willing to help yourself and this is where the method of Spring shines brightest.

She has such a clever way of mixing the professional processes with fun, compassion and endless big-sisterly patience.

With my counsellor, you can’t tell where the therapist ends and the Bff begins. She has such a clever way of mixing the professional processes with fun, compassion and endless big-sisterly patience. Talk-therapy is a good idea for everyone.

I love the space and find it conducive to my thinking, especially the garden with the cats outside.

It’s been a truly eye-opening series of conversations with the counsellor. Prior to this, I had been to multiple specialists but this non-directive approach did absolute wonders to me. The non-linear manner of our conversations almost always steers me to unchartered paths which I had never planned on discussing prior. They’re welcome surprises and necessary interventions. I like the somewhat unplanned nature of conversations because that way I feel like I have my guards down ad I’m more receptive to everything. The experience with Spring has been pretty smooth, generally speaking. The in-take process was thorough, and so is the counselling process. I love the space and find it conducive to my thinking, especially the garden with the cats outside. It’s a good precursor to the sessions.

It has helped me understand myself better and make peace with a lot of things.

Absolutely amazing and enriching. I have been seeing my counsellor since 2018. It was coz a friend referred during a very tough phase. From that day to now - I have been on this journey. It has helped me understand myself better and make peace with a lot of things. This journey has been amazing thanks to my counsellor, who has helped me understand elements of my personality a lot better which helps me deal with situations better.

Not only was she a great listener, but she also offered insightful and constructive feedback.

Experience with the Counsellor & the Team : My experience was wonderful. One of the most remarkable aspects of my sessions was how I felt validated and heard throughout the entire process. My counsellor genuinely listened to my concerns, allowing me to express myself without any fear of judgment. Her ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space made me feel comfortable opening up about even the most sensitive topics. Not only was she a great listener, but she also offered insightful and constructive feedback. Her guidance and support helped me gain new perspectives to navigate through my challenges.

My experience with Spring Counselling was truly enlightening. I approached the sessions unsure of what to expect, but the preliminary consultation helped me navigate through my doubts and uncertainties. The counselling processes were methodical and effective with a structured approach that allowed me to explore my thoughts and emotions in a guided and supportive manner.

Thank you for the light and guidance.

It’s been more than a year for my association with my counsellor and to say the least it has been a fulfilling eye-opening personal experience. This is my first time with counselling and regular visits to a therapist and it has only enriched my self-discovery journey. Thank you for the light and guidance.

I have only recommended Spring to as many people I know would benefit from how Spring assists and facilitates all conversations and processes around Mental Health.

I also refer her to my friends and family who are in seemingly hopeless situations in their lives. With her, I feel confident that they will be in safe hands.

I grew up with a parent who intermittently suffered from mental illness. It wreaked havoc on her life and ours. Probably due to poor and inhumane treatment methods or social shaming, she refused to acknowledge her illness and take any treatment after a few years. At the age of 15, when I had a debilitating fear of blood and mild claustrophobia, I earnestly sought professional help. I was clear that I wasn’t going to allow shaming to be a hurdle on my path to good mental health.

Over the years, I made brief visits to psychiatrists, attended self-realization workshops, and did group therapy. When treated for anxiety, psychiatric medicines seemed great but other medicines induced non causal feelings that greatly alarmed me and my family. The self-realization workshops were great; they inverted my universe and gave me access to my SELF. Group therapy did me a lot of good. In two to three years my group fell apart and I also had to deal with breaches of trust.

When I met my counsellor, I was in my mid 40s and going through a rough phase in my life. During the first few sessions, I felt like a boat without an oar. I wondered where I was going, what we were doing and what was going on. I was in a hurry to ease my fragile mental state and I asked her for help with a psychiatrist. Her sincerity in trying to get me such help touched a chord. That kept me going. A couple of months and several sessions later, I sensed a subtle shift in me and I started articulating my state to my therapist.

I continue to seek her counselling while dealing with new situations that either cause me anxiety in the present or in anticipation. I also seek her counsel when I am experimenting with my SELF and need a clear ‘mirror’. I also refer her to my friends and family who are in seemingly hopeless situations in their lives. With her, I feel confident that they will be in safe hands.
