Reshma Prakash

Internationally Certified Counsellor

Certification in Transactional Analysis

Reshma has been on the move through critical stages of her life, leaving behind the security of her home to study abroad, moving onto her first job in New York, and then re-locating to Europe to work with the UN. She finally ‘settled’ after moving to India and starting her family. The movement in her life, both physically and mentally, required her to give up the comfort of familiarity and venture into a new life time and again.

During her children’s early years, she stopped working, which activated deep feelings of insecurity about her self-worth and her sense of identity. At this stage in her life she sought therapy to understand the deep void she was feeling within. Her experience with therapy, coupled with her previous experience in the field of mental health led her to become a counsellor.

Through her travels and interaction with a global community, Reshma has seen universal themes that underlie each of our unique stories. Her skills lie in balancing the two – universality and uniqueness, to enable individual growth. Through counselling, she encourages people to push boundaries, confront their challenges and eventually expand their frame of reference.

Change has been the only constant in Reshma’s life, strengthening her belief that while our past influences us, we are capable of changing in the present. She empowers her clients to give the past the respect it deserves and let it go, and simultaneously embrace new narratives.
