Client Experiences
Stories of transformation and healing
I sought therapy with Yamini during a particularly challenging period of grief following the loss of a loved one. I was feeling lost and unsure how to navigate such profound sadness. Yamini's support during this time was invaluable. She provided a space where I could openly express my pain without feeling pressured to 'move on' or 'be strong.' Her empathy felt genuine, and she had a way of acknowledging my feelings that made me feel understood in my deepest sorrow. Yamini helped me to process my grief in a healthy way, guiding me through the complex emotions and helping me to find moments of peace amidst the pain. She also helped me connect with my own resilience and the ways in which I could honor my loved one's memory. Her trauma-informed approach was evident in her sensitivity and her ability to hold space for my vulnerability. I am incredibly grateful for her compassionate support during such a difficult chapter of my life.
My journey with Yamini has been transformative in more ways than I initially anticipated. I came to therapy primarily to address issues with self-esteem and a persistent feeling of not being 'good enough.' Yamini's approach was multifaceted. She not only listened attentively to my concerns but also helped me to identify the underlying patterns of negative self-talk that were fueling these feelings. She gently challenged these thoughts, encouraging me to view myself with more kindness and compassion. What I found particularly helpful was her focus on bringing out the good in me, helping me to recognize my strengths and achievements, which I had often overlooked. Yamini has a remarkable ability to empower you from within while keeping it light, and full of humour. She doesn't just offer solutions; she guides you to discover your own inner resources and build a stronger sense of self-worth. The personalized techniques she used were incredibly effective, and I now feel a much greater sense of confidence and self-acceptance. This has positively impacted not just my internal world but also my relationships and overall well-being.
Choosing Yamini as my therapist was one of the best decisions I've made for my well-being. She is a skilled and compassionate psychologist who truly cares about her clients' growth and healing. I highly recommend her. She is kind, funny, full of life and has humour to die for. She brings in the best in you without you realizing that you are also giving your best to your life. I learnt how to love my life because of her and the sessions with her.
Seeking help for my primarily obsessional OCD felt daunting because often my struggles were invisible to others. The constant stream of intrusive, distressing thoughts was exhausting and led to significant anxiety. Yamini understood this internal battle. She didn't just focus on visible compulsions but delved into the nature of my obsessions and the mental rituals I had developed to cope. She helped me to recognize these thought patterns and to understand that having these thoughts didn't make them true or reflective of my character. Her gentle guidance in learning to accept the uncertainty and resist the urge to engage in mental rituals has been incredibly helpful. Yamini created a space where I felt safe to voice even the most distressing thoughts without fear of judgment. She empowered me to shift my relationship with these thoughts, learning to observe them rather than getting entangled in them. Her support has been crucial in my journey to manage my Pure O and experience greater peace of mind.
Coming to terms with the possibility of having a personality disorder was difficult and honestly, a bit scary. When I spoke with Yamini for the initial assessment, I was nervous about being judged or misunderstood. However, her approach was incredibly sensitive and professional. She took a detailed history, asking thoughtful questions about my long-standing patterns of relating to others, my emotional experiences, and my sense of self. It wasn't just about current symptoms, but about understanding the deeper, more enduring aspects of my personality and how they might be causing distress in my life. The feedback she provided after the assessment was also very helpful. It wasn't just a label, but an explanation that helped me understand some of the difficulties I had been facing for years. She also outlined a potential path forward for therapy that felt tailored to my specific patterns and needs. The assessment process with Yamini felt thorough, respectful, and ultimately, gave me a clearer understanding of myself and a sense of direction for moving forward.
Dealing with deep-seated issues from my past significantly impacted my present. Yamini's trauma-informed approach was exactly what I needed. She was incredibly patient, allowing me to process at my own pace. Her understanding went beyond my words, showing genuine empathy for the weight of my experiences. Most importantly, she helped me navigate these experiences with sensitivity and care, creating a safe space to heal without feeling rushed or judged. Her approach made a profound difference in my healing journey.
