    Emotional healing process is a little bit challenging but it is also able to change one’s life. The process may hurt while you address your painful life experiences but it also takes you to the next level where you change your perspectives, mindset and beliefs and become a person who doesn’t focus on their flaws but focuses on their self-growth. I have experienced it while having online counselling sessions with Dr. Gunjan Tiwari.

    If you want to go through the counselling process for emotional healing, talk to Dr. Gunjan. She is the best at it.
    Thank you

    My belief in counselling has become firm since I saw its effects on my 15 years son who was stubborn and had a few bad habits that made his behavior unacceptable in the society. I had heard about counselling and wanted to help my child with its support. I opted for online counselling as it looked like the perfect and easy way to help my son improve his behavior. Counselling benefited him. He has improved a lot and I also take care of him more. I am happy to see him becoming like a good boy who is more responsible now and most importantly I would like to thank Gunjan Tewari mam as she has contributed a lot in this process.
