Shaadi Se Pehle
A Practical, Psychologist-Led Marriage Readiness Programme for Men and Women
You may be preparing for the wedding. But do you feel prepared for the marriage?
Marriage can bring excitement, companionship and hope—but it can also create fear, pressure and many unanswered questions.
- Am I emotionally ready for marriage?
- How do I know whether this person is compatible with me?
- What should I discuss before saying yes?
- How will we manage parents and in-laws?
- What if our expectations about careers, money or household responsibilities are different?
- How do we communicate during disagreements?
- What should we discuss about intimacy, privacy and children?
- Is my fear normal, or am I ignoring an important concern?
You do not have to enter marriage with unanswered questions.
Join Shaadi Se Pehle, a practical four-session online programme led by psychologists for men and women who are planning, considering or preparing for marriage.
The programme combines psychological guidance, practical exercises, real-life situations and group discussions to help you approach marriage with greater clarity and confidence.
Individual Registration
Join independently for personal clarity, preparation and psychologist-led guidance.
Couple Registration
Both partners can attend together and participate in couple-focused exercises.
This is not just a lecture
It is a practical and interactive learning experience.
Marriage-related concerns cannot always be understood through theory alone.
During the programme, you will participate in practical activities that help you apply what you learn to your own life.
- Marriage-readiness self-reflection.
- Compatibility and values exercises.
- Real-life relationship scenarios.
- Communication practice.
- Family-boundary planning.
- Financial conversation checklists.
- Household responsibility planning.
- Green, yellow and red flag exercises.
- Anonymous questions.
- Personal or couple marriage charter.
- Guided discussions led by the psychologist.
You will not only learn what healthy relationships look like—you will also explore how to handle difficult situations in practical ways.
Learn from the experiences and perspectives of other participants
One of the most valuable parts of a group programme is realising that you are not alone in your questions.
Other participants may be experiencing concerns related to:
- Arranged-marriage pressure.
- Fear of choosing the wrong partner.
- Joint-family expectations.
- Career changes after marriage.
- Financial responsibilities towards parents.
- Communication difficulties.
- Inter-caste or interfaith marriage.
- Relocation after marriage.
- Household responsibilities.
- Intimacy and privacy.
- Pressure regarding children.
Through psychologist-guided discussions, participants can listen to different perspectives and learn how other men and women understand and approach similar situations.
- Discover questions you may not have considered.
- Understand how expectations may differ between men and women.
- Learn from different family and cultural backgrounds.
- Feel less isolated in your fears or uncertainty.
- Recognise that the same situation may be viewed differently by different people.
- Develop greater empathy for a future partner.
- Explore possible solutions to common marriage-related challenges.
Participants are never required to disclose personal information. They may share only what they feel comfortable sharing.
Experiences shared by members are used for reflection and learning. They do not replace professional psychological guidance or personalised counselling.
Designed for both men and women
Marriage creates expectations and responsibilities for both partners.
Women may have concerns about:
- Career continuation after marriage.
- Relocation.
- Household expectations.
- Adjustment with in-laws.
- Financial independence.
- Personal freedom.
- Pregnancy and childcare pressure.
- Emotional and physical safety.
Men may have concerns about:
- Financial responsibility.
- Pressure to become the primary provider.
- Supporting parents after marriage.
- Managing expectations between a spouse and family.
- Expressing emotions.
- Career pressure.
- Household participation.
- Fear of conflict or relationship failure.
This programme creates a balanced space where the expectations, fears and responsibilities of both men and women are discussed respectfully.
It does not promote the idea that only one partner should adjust.
Instead, participants learn how both partners can communicate, take responsibility, establish boundaries and build a healthier partnership.
Does this sound familiar?
“Everything appears suitable, but I am still uncertain.”
The family may approve. The person may appear suitable. Wedding discussions may have started.
Yet you may still be asking:
- Do we understand each other well enough?
- Will my personal boundaries be respected?
- Can we handle disagreements?
- Will one person be expected to make all the adjustments?
- Will my partner support my career and responsibilities?
- How involved will our families be?
- Are we avoiding conversations because they feel uncomfortable?
Uncertainty does not always mean the relationship is wrong.
Sometimes, it means that you need better questions, more honest conversations and a clearer understanding of what marriage may involve.
Marriage preparation should be practical
Knowing that communication is important is not enough.
You also need to understand:
- How to raise a difficult subject without starting an argument.
- How to disagree without insulting or threatening each other.
- How to discuss financial obligations towards parents.
- How to establish boundaries with in-laws respectfully.
- How to talk about household responsibilities.
- How to discuss career continuation or relocation.
- How to ask questions about children and parenting.
- How to communicate discomfort regarding intimacy.
- How to recognise unhealthy control or manipulation.
- How to decide when professional support is needed.
The programme uses practical examples and guided exercises to help participants understand how these conversations may actually happen.
What makes this programme different?
Practical, not purely theoretical
Every session includes exercises, reflection tools, examples or conversation prompts that participants can use in real life.
Psychologist-led
The sessions are conducted by a qualified psychologist who provides structured, balanced and evidence-informed guidance.
Learn through shared experiences
Participants can benefit from the perspectives and experiences of other group members while maintaining privacy and personal boundaries.
Relevant for men and women
The programme discusses the fears, expectations, pressures and responsibilities experienced by both partners.
Indian-context focused
Topics include arranged marriage, parental involvement, in-laws, joint families, career expectations, financial responsibilities, cultural differences and social pressure.
Short and manageable
All four sessions are completed within seven days, reducing the need for a long-term commitment.
Interactive and engaging
Sessions may include polls, scenarios, worksheets, group discussions and anonymous questions.
Private and respectful
No participant is required to disclose personal experiences. Sessions are not recorded.
Preventive
You do not have to wait for serious conflict before learning healthier relationship skills.
Who can join?
The programme is suitable for men and women who:
Participants may join individually or with their partner, depending on the selected batch.

Learn together without being judged
You are not expected to speak about your private life in front of everyone.
You may:
- Participate through polls.
- Respond through chat.
- Submit questions anonymously.
- Listen without sharing.
- Skip any question that feels too personal.
- Complete worksheets privately.
- Share only what feels comfortable.
The psychologist will ensure that discussions remain respectful, relevant and non-judgmental.
Do Not Wait Until After Marriage to Begin Important Conversations
Many relationship problems do not begin because people are incompatible.
They begin because expectations were assumed but never discussed.
Before making one of the most important decisions of your life, give yourself the opportunity to:
- Ask better and more meaningful questions.
- Understand your own and your partner’s expectations.
- Learn practical communication and relationship skills.
- Recognise concerns before they become conflicts.
- Prepare for family, financial and personal responsibilities.
- Approach marriage with greater clarity and awareness.
Marriage is not a game—it is a lifelong decision. Preparing for honest conversations today can help prevent misunderstandings tomorrow.

I need atleast 1 hour session. 40 minutes was too short for the fees that I am paying
AS A DOCTOR MYSELF, I FOUND HER TO BE THE MOST PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING. I HAVE BEEN REGULARLY TAKING SESSIONS FOR THE PAST HALF AN YEAR OR SO & I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE SEEKING A GOOD THERAPIST.
Dr. Sahebjeet helped me understand how I was avoiding emotions in my relationship. Her sessions helped me express myself better, and it’s made a huge difference in how I connect with my partner now.
I felt very comfortable,and heard
I started therapy with Dr. Sahebjeet Kaur when I was struggling with anxiety and constant negative thinking. Her warm and empathetic nature made it easy to open up. She gave me clear tools to manage my emotions, and over time I’ve started feeling more stable and hopeful.
Sahebjeet helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I was depressed, and her guidance and kind approach helped me recover from it. Thank you Sahebjeet!
After going through a painful breakup, I had completely lost confidence and was overwhelmed with emotions. Dr. Sahebjeet was incredibly kind, patient, and intuitive. She didn’t just offer solutions, she helped me rediscover my own strength. Every session gave me clarity and emotional relief. I genuinely recommend her to any woman dealing with heartbreak or emotional distress.
I reached out to Dr. Sahebjeet Kaur during a really stressful phase in my corporate job. She helped me untangle my anxiety and taught me how to manage pressure without losing myself. Her calm and structured approach really worked for me. Grateful for her support.
Sahebjeet listens well and asks good questions, making me confront some of my thoughts or values I have, and understand the root causes better
Her empathy and realistic advice helped me improve communication with my child and handle conflicts better. I’m grateful for her support.

Need to have more sessions in future.
She is very patient and always willing to help! Highly recommended.
Dr. Surabhi Lodha made me realize how my past experiences were shaping the way I attach in relationships. I used to feel constantly anxious about being left. She helped me develop emotional security and healthier boundaries. Her sessions were deep yet practical. Truly grateful for her support.
I started therapy with Surabhi Mam when my anxiety became overwhelming. Her way of gently challenging my perfectionist patterns was eye-opening. She’s kind, thoughtful, and very skilled in helping you build long-term tools.
She was wonderful but I felt like the session was too short to achieve any productive measures. However this is not her fault and more of your system's fault.
After a tough breakup, I had zero confidence and didn’t know how to deal with my emotions. Dr. Surabhi was very kind and non-judgmental. Talking to her felt like a reset. She helped me rebuild my self-worth from scratch.
I was dealing with frequent panic attacks and overwhelming anxiety when I started sessions with Dr. Surabhi Lodha. She helped me understand my triggers and guided me with simple yet effective techniques to calm myself. Her way of explaining things makes you feel empowered rather than broken. I genuinely feel more in control now.

Dr. Basarkar is a very patient and wise counsellor. His sessions focus not only on problems but also on personal growth. I appreciate his clear explanations and encouraging approach.
Dr. Basarkar’s counselling approach is very supportive and professional. He understands problems without judgment and explains solutions in a simple, relatable way. After a few sessions, I felt more confident and emotionally stable. Truly grateful for his guidance.
Dr Shishir has allowed that I can share all my stress. He is very friendly and gave me confidence that I have a potentiality to deal with all my matters.
Shishir sir listened my problems very calmly and gave me appropriate solution. He also motivated me. He is very polite and humble.

Dr. Basarkar is a compassionate and knowledgeable counsellor. His sessions helped me understand my thoughts and reactions better. He provides clear strategies to manage stress and relationships. I always leave the session feeling lighter and more hopeful.
I was stuck in a loop of overthinking about my career decisions—constantly doubting every move I made. Dr. Shishir helped me break that pattern and focus on what truly mattered to me. His style is logical, empathetic, and not forceful. I came out of each session feeling a bit lighter and clearer.
When I started therapy with Dr. Shishir, I was feeling completely directionless and low. His approach helped me rediscover a sense of purpose and gave me practical tools to deal with everyday struggles. His calm and grounded nature made it easy to open up.
I was constantly doubting myself, especially when making decisions. Therapy with Dr. Shishir helped me shift from fear-based thinking to a more grounded and confident mindset. His style is practical yet deeply empathetic.
I was struggling with low mood and complete lack of interest in life. Dr. Shishir Basarkar helped me understand that depression isn’t about weakness, it’s something we can work through. His calm, structured approach gave me hope and direction when I needed it most.

My wife and I were having constant arguments, and I wasn’t sure how to fix things. Dr. Gunjan mam helped me understand my own emotional patterns and how to listen without reacting. It changed how I relate to her.
I always felt like I wasn't good enough and struggled to express emotions. Dr. Gunjan Tiwari helped me understand where that came from and slowly build a healthier self-image. She has a very grounded and warm approach that made me feel safe.
Dr. Gunjan helped me work through my anger and how it was affecting my relationship. Her approach was straightforward but compassionate. I'm much more in control now.
I was feeling very isolated and stopped engaging with people completely. Dr. Gunjan helped me break that cycle by working on my thought patterns and building self-confidence. Her sessions were grounding and practical.
I highly recommend Gunjan for her exceptional support in addressing past trauma, family, childhood and relationship issues. Her compassionate approach and professional guidance have been invaluable in my healing journey.
Gunjan mam’s expertise in trauma therapy provided me with a safe and supportive environment to heal. She guided me through processing past events and gave me the strength to face them. I feel much more in control of my life now.
Dr. Gunjan Tiwari was an incredible help in navigating the challenges of parenting. Her guidance on managing difficult behavior and maintaining patience has made me feel more confident in my ability to raise my children with love and structure.
I was feeling anxious about advancing in my career, and Dr. Gunjan Tiwari provided clarity and guidance that really helped. She helped me identify the sources of my anxiety and gave me tools to manage it. I’m feeling much more confident about my career path now. Highly recommend her for career-related stress.
Dr. Gunjan Tiwari was incredibly helpful when I was feeling overwhelmed as a new parent. She offered strategies to manage stress and find balance, which really helped me enjoy parenting more. Her advice was practical and reassuring. I’d highly recommend her to any new parent feeling stressed.
My daughter was having trouble at school and felt anxious. Dr. Gunjan created a friendly environment where my daughter felt safe to express herself. Through fun activities and games, Dr. Gunjan helped her open up about her feelings and taught her coping skills. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my daughter’s confidence and mood.

Felt great after my first session, looking forward for more
It was a pleasure talking to ma'am she guided me so well and she has provided some solutions to overcome the challenges I have and I have been doing these for last few days it is very helpful.
The therapist was extremely present throughout the session. Unlike other induction sessions, she made the effort to share useful insights and some effective tips for better coping at the end of the first session itself. I really liked this about her.
Excellent
Her guidance has not only helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself but also given me practical tools I can apply in daily life.
I came to Aastha Dhingra after suffering multiple anxiety episodes due to academic stress. She helped me break the cycle of panic and fear by working on my thought patterns and breathing techniques. Her sessions gave me the confidence to face my exams and also be kinder to myself. She’s empathetic, attentive, and very easy to talk to.
I was close to burnout and felt constantly overwhelmed. Aastha helped me recognize the patterns leading to stress and guided me in setting healthier boundaries. Her approach is calm, structured, and very relatable.
I was under immense academic pressure and felt completely burned out. I didn’t know how to talk to anyone about it without feeling judged. Aastha ma’am created such a safe space during our sessions. She helped me organize my thoughts, manage stress, and slowly rebuild a healthier routine. I loved how she never rushed me, and genuinely understood what I was going through. She’s a blessing for young people like me struggling silently.
After losing my father, I felt emotionally stuck. Aastha mam helped me process the grief at my own pace. Her sessions were simple, comforting, and exactly what I needed during a tough time.
It helps in relieving stress.

Mahalaxmi is empathetic, supportive, to my issues in a postive way. She keeps me grounded. She has been very helpful in focusing on my strenghts and how to come out of the negative space my life was in.
She taught me techniques that helped to let go of the past and look forward to a better future. I found her to be nurturing and caring. In a firm and gentle way she would steer me away from falling back to old thinking habits. I felt good after my session with her.
It was really helpful. explained the steps to be undertaken to become better individual.
Calm and composed counselling session first time had a good wavelength.
It was very comforting to talk to Mahalaxmi..
She was the 1st to tell me to love myself..
Which I have forgotten being married for 37 years with 2 adult children..I have lost my identity, self worth. I need to find the original Tasneem again and be happy with myself.
It was relieving really. BTW, would you have someone who speaks Kannad
It was a good session
It was a quite relieving experience. I had followed up with an email and she also responded addressing my concerns.
Good starter session
Mahalakshmi is direct, she doesn't dance around topics. She is a great psychologist.
I found the interactions very pleasant and relaxing. Dr. Mahalakshmi gave a pleasant hearing and assessed my problem good enough in the first meeting itself. She had also suggested some ways deal my problems with counselling and audio tapes. Thanks a lot. Hope to have this journey for some more time.
