    I didn’t know who I was anymore, life was just about deadlines. Chatura helped me pause and reflect. Her sessions were balanced between deep inner work and practical tools to help me slow down. It’s helped me reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t think were possible.

     by Abhilash Mathur

    I was having recurring fights in my relationship due to poor communication. Chatura helped me see my own patterns and taught me how to express myself in a healthy way. Really grateful for her clarity and patience.

    Navigating the teenage years with my child was challenging, and Chatura Nagarjuna helped me gain tools to connect better with my teenager. She had practical, realistic advice that really worked for us. Now, our relationship is much stronger, and there’s less conflict. I’m grateful for her help and guidance.

    I sought couple counseling from Chatura Nagarjuna after struggling with communication issues in my relationship. I’am from Kerala looking for a Tamil psychologist, I was thrilled to find Chatura. She understood our cultural background and the nuances that can affect relationships.
    Her insights helped us see each other’s perspectives and find common ground. We’ve made significant progress and feel more connected now. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of couple counseling.

    Chatura Nagarjuna was exactly who I needed to talk to. I was dealing with perfectionism that was leading to burnout, and she helped me see things from a healthier perspective. She’s down-to-earth and made it easy to open up. Now, I’m learning to let go of unrealistic standards and feel much more at ease.
