Book a session TherapyMarriage counselling or couple counselling is needed when the spouses experience strain in the relationship.
Either spouse may feel that he or she is not understood or valued, and feel conflicts in their views. They sometimes lack mutual respect, and feelings of hurt and emotional pain affect their normal, peaceful life.
Counselling in joint sessions helps in understanding each other's emotional and psychological needs, followed by individual sessions to analyse their personalities and work through them. This facilitates better understanding and clarifies the conflicts between spouses.
Therapy also helps to heal emotional hurts.

The cause of ADHD may be genetic; it is said to run in families. The primary reason is a difference in the functioning of neurotransmitters like dopamine.
ADHD is said to manifest in early childhood: the child experiences lack of attention, distraction and hyperactivity, and is sometimes impulsive and restless.
When parents and caregivers identify these symptoms, certain tests are conducted and a suitable course of action can be taken.

Book a sessionOver 4 visits in the last one month, I have witnessed a significant, positive change in myself. The single best part about Ms. Mandiram is that she believes in therapy, rather than counselling. Through guided questioning, she helps me arrive at the very core of the problem, and gets the solution out of me. I am a lot more independent, stronger and more self-sufficient.
Ms. Mandiram is a ray of bright, bright light. I have come to see so much good in me after having a couple of sessions with her, good that existed always but I had failed to see. I feel liberated, freed of so much unnecessary clutter. She is forthright and neatly professional with lots of human touch.
I don't think I've come across any therapist like her because she is not one who gives short-term remedies. She goes to the root of the problem and changes your very thoughts, and doesn't leave you without ending on a very motivating and positive note. If you are doubtful about online sessions instead of live ones, there isn't any difference in my opinion. You are in the safest of hands!
She made my life wonderful. I was searching for my inner self where I was lost; she helped me find myself and gave great support in correcting myself with confidence. I gained self-confidence, self-esteem and self-love after very few sessions. I took psychology as my career too, and have now completed my MSc in Psychology.
She has helped me understand the core of my issue and guided me with solutions to overcome it. The best thing I like about her treatment is that she understands the cause of the issue and focuses on addressing it permanently. Her guidance is not only helpful in overcoming the issue, but also helps me apply it in different aspects of my life.
She is a very friendly and kind doctor. I felt very comfortable with her right from when I met her, and it was very easy to open up to her about my problems, my depression. She is a very good listener and very patient. I've fairly changed for the better since I started seeing her. I'm more at peace with myself and others.
I am a student of journalism in the UK, and due to homesickness, anxiety and confusion, returned home for the Christmas holidays. Dr. Mandiram calmly got to the root of my problems, and gave me practical, self-help methods. I came away from her sessions ready to go back and live with the best version of me. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
The best part about the doctor is that she instantly diagnoses the root cause of the problem. She gives undivided attention and her suggestions are practical as well as helpful. I am feeling very positive about my recovery. After just one session you start feeling hopeful.
She is an excellent, serene personality. A friendly person with whom we felt very comfortable. After the single session with Ms Shankari we were so relieved and felt that we were at the right place. She guided and counselled my daughter so pleasantly that we are very satisfied and happy.
I was struggling to find a proper counsellor for the past 6 months and visited more than 5 psychologists, but could never resolve my problems. After visiting Shankari ma'am, I felt a positive energy through me. Her simple techniques helped me and my wife get clear insight and resolve long-term problems.
She is very understanding and a good listener with a great perspective. Her voice is very soothing and will make you feel better. She helped me deal with complicated family issues and taught me how to be peaceful without getting influenced by external factors. I am very happy I met her.
Mrs. Mandiram has a great way of making you open up about yourself and guides you to reveal what you want. She makes the process of self-understanding and realisation simple and gives you courage to do what is good for you.
It was such a great relief to my family after attending her counselling session. I really want to thank her for her helpful guidance.
