What Our Clients Say
How our counselling sessions have changed lives ? Hear from some of our clients
It’s been 24 years when we made our marriage vows. It was an arranged marriage and we were blessed with two wonderful and loving boys, 21 and 18 years. It was a pretty decent journey were we saw the best and the worst, the ups and the downs, the lows and the highs, carrying pleasant and unpleasant memories. There were differences of opinions, compatible issues and more – which accumulated over the years. But during the last five years, the cracks started to get wider in our relationship and we lived separately for the last one year. That was the most depressing and a period of low self- esteem for both of us. During that phase, we had to bear the brunt of social, emotional, psychological, spiritual and financial aspects of separation. My friend, who happen to be a professional social worker, recommend us to see his senior Dr. Anitha Rego for professional help in our marriage.
We, as a couple had a series of sessions with Dr. Anitha Rego spanning over six months. The very first visit with her, we found her to be very professional, knowledgeable, experienced and dependable. She was patient to hear our woes. She was not kind of person who works for monetary aspects rather, we found her concern to re-build a home with her expertise. She was able to make us come of out our confront zone and look at marriage in a new perspective from each other eyes and understand the need for each other in the marriage. She thought us, how the issues are to be brought on the table and various ways to resolve them. She emphasized on the tone and temperament needed in a conversion. She was able to bring in that confidence in us to resolve the issues mutually and amicably. She was able to re-ignite the love and concern for each other.
We are together now. Let me tell you, it was not all bed of roses. We had issues which re-surfaced again but this time we were able to iron out peaceably. Let me tell you, there will be issues in any marriage, but it’s left to two people to look in one direction with hand in hand and with assurance, that they can make the marriage work. Let me assure you, IT WORKS. Thank you, Dr. Anitha Rego.
My journey with PEARLSS 4 Development helped me to not only deal with my difficulties but helped me evolve as a person. It helped me resolve my past, come out of my insecurities, identify my strengths and develop a perspective to look at things around. Today whatever I am wouldn’t have been possible if I didn’t seek support from my counsellor, who has been my life couch. Her unconditional support and belief in me helped me build a positive and a constructive outlook towards myself, others and everything around. It was her belief in me that taught me to value myself.
I started my counselling sessions with Anita Ma’am, at a point when I had lost control of many aspects of life and my dark thoughts were taking over me. Within few weeks Ma’am helped me able to cope and to overcome my fears. She helped me see things clearly. Her expertise and knowledge helped me to understand and manage my anxiety. She helped me with coping strategies to get me through my difficult times. I think her approach is so unique.
She helps a person to get independent and self reliant. She focuses on making a person independent of medicine. I was helped to withdraw myself from medicines with her support. Ma’am ‘s invaluable advice helped me enormously in taking back control over my life. She helped me turn my life around and helped me regain my confidence in myself and in my day to day life. Can’t thank her enough!!
Six months ago, whilst going through a near breakup of my marriage, one of our family friends had referred us to Dr Rego. A couple of months into counseling and some really tough sessions, the changes began to show. As we learned to communicate as a couple without getting angry or playing the blame game our bonding improved. We started living together and there were no instances of physical violence. Differences surface now and then but we have learnt to sort it out a lot more calmly. Many thanks to Dr Rego for teaching these life skills which have also helped handle my relationships at work and elsewhere to achieve my goals.
