Our Approach
At Becoming Conscious Beings, we effectively implement various psychotherapy techniques, as per the need and what suits the individuals. We aim to empower them to continue their Life with optimum potential and joy, embracing the experiences they have. We believe in not only seeing the problem, distress and the limiting factors of the individual, but rather understanding the person for who they are with their strengths, and lived experiences. We aim to enable clients to be aware and utilize their mind-body-spirit connections and the other parts of their Beings. This eventually leads them to have agency and sustain their wellbeing themselves in the long run.
Our Story
Services in the healthcare field, especially mental health, are very scattered and mostly treated in isolation. That, I see, causes a lot of confusion and hassle to individuals to really understand the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of the distress and ways to cope with it as well. I saw most people in the field only focusing on individual therapy and mental health. I felt there needs to be a platform which helps the individuals see their health in a more holistic view. Focusing or working on only 1 aspect of your wellbeing, does not seem to really alleviate their quality of life and wellbeing. Hence, Seeing the dearth in the field with very few working for the wellbeing of clients considering all aspects of their life, I started with Becoming Conscious Beings. I also wanted to bring about a platform which helps individuals notice how different aspects of their life and health are interconnected, and support each other. For ex., how its our eating, nutrition, relationships, sleep and other aspects that together contribute to your belief, faith, feelings, etc. Another personal reason for me to start with Becoming Conscious Beings was that I wanted to create a platform which would allow me to find stability and also explore my creative outlets. Along with that, creating a platform which is also financially rewarding and compensatory to the efforts provided by the therapists and professionals.
Significance of Family, & a Support Circle
The support systems, especially the family plays a huge role in the Healing Journey of the individuals. It probably is one of the most important resources one has beyond the sessions. Hence when working with children especially, addressing Parenting is crucial.
Belief in Working Together through Collaborative Work
A lot can also be done in the Preventive aspects to reduce the need of interventions. Here comes the need for community awareness, working with groups, organizations, and communities. When organizations, communities commit to not only educating themselves and the members regarding Mental health & Wellbeing, but also to take collective measures to ensure the wellbeing of its members, the risk of individuals to burn out and fall apart reduces.

What is Counseling & Therapy?
It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike.
