Testimonials

I was referred to Sanjana by my previous therapist when we'd hit a wall and nothing seemed to be helping me process a PTSD experience. Sanjana introduced me to somatic work and gently, patiently guided me toward feeling into things in my body that I had struggled with, always with utmost care and nuance. 

She consistently held space for me, and was open to suggest and try alternate approaches whenever needed. She opened my eyes to the role body-based work can play in mental health. Since being in therapy with her, I've gone on to explore many other somatic modalities with different facilitators. 



Because of the work I did with her, I've also been able to build a regular yoga and mindfulness practice. She helped me realise that good mental health isn't just about talk therapy, it's also about returning to your body and mind with acceptance, whatever you find there. 

I'm deeply grateful to Sanjana, both for the depth of the work we did together and for the professionalism with which she runs her practice and sessions. Beyond the therapy itself, I've learned a great deal from her as an independent practitioner and as a person. 

October 6th, 2023 was when I first met Sanjana Meher for a consultation session, where I spoke about my struggles, including childhood trauma, guilt, anger issues, suicidal thoughts, and PTSD. By the end of that session, I knew I wanted her to be my therapist, and since then, there’s been no looking back.

I also underwent a mental health assessment, which helped us understand a lot more about my condition. She has supported me in every way possible. We worked extensively with somatic therapy, explored my traumatic experiences in depth, and she guided me through various breathing and body-based exercises.

I’ve also recommended her to a few friends and close family members. I truly trust her. Her sessions have been a safe space for me to open up freely. She listens with patience, supports my goals, and consistently helps me feel better. I can confidently vouch for her services.

I started sessions with Sanjana soon after I got out of an abusive marriage. I literally had to start my life from scratch and build a life for myself. A kind friend recommended Sanjana to me and she was a blessing in disguise. She exactly understood what I was going through and used the right techniques at the right times to help me heal. During the one and half a year of sessions, she has helped me process all the trauma related to past relationships and family. She equipped me with tools to understand and process my emotions better. She is the most professional person and asks the right follow-up questions to track progress. I have learnt a lot from her and forever grateful for her for helping me navigate the most challenging times.

I reached out to Sanjana with anxiety issues, life changes and dealing with an aging mother with mental health issues. Through her sessions Sanjana made me understand my own emotional dysregulation, my unprocessed trauma and my poor coping skills. She taught me how to self soothe, deal with uncomfortable emotions without avoiding them, to draw boundaries and to prioritise my self. Her life skills are invaluable and helped me get better in life. 

I was having issues setting boundaries for both myself and the people around me and I think the sessions helped me with addressing those issues. I think sitting with my emotions rather than intellectualising them also helped me a lot.

I had a myriad of issues beginning and developed all the way through my duration with Sanjana Garu's sessions. From inability to accept a few issues to issues in personal life, there were many to be addressed and there were many other issues which popped up. With effective management strategies, reflection and perspectives I was able to develop tolerance and effectively grow out of my issues.

I was having difficulty even talking about a traumatic incident and the session with Sanjana helped me sit with my feelings and process them. Sanjana paced the session well and was very attuned to me, she also gave me good suggestions to ground myself between sessions. The session was organised and the therapist was very sensitive to my needs. 

I was feeling very anxious with a lot of things going on in my family and professional life. Sanjana helped me isolate the issues to address them individually and figure out a solution. This helped me understand the situations better and handle them with strength. I no longer feel anxious and feel a lot better post psychotherapy.

It was a wonderful journey working on my life. I had experienced a severe Medical trauma that pushed me to seek therapy. The whole process of working through that experience with the body based methodology that Sanjana used made me feel safe and confident to work on it. Every other issue that resurfaced in sessions and the way it was handled helped me integrate and create a life map. It's been a few months since I embarked on this and it's been life changing. Having been for therapy before, I know my compatibility with Sanjana made a lot of difference in being vulnerable and dealing with a lot of my issues. Absolutely grateful for having done that. Currently, I'm coping much better. I'm more confident, assured and it reflects in all spheres of my life. 

I approached Sanjana for workplace anxiety and several long term mental health issues I have been facing over the years. During the course of therapy sessions I was able to get good clarity or insight into my issues. She is very methodical and structured which helps us tackle problems one after the other. 

I have met Sanjana last year online when I was going through bad phases of anxiety. Initial short-term sessions have helped me to talk about what I was experiencing and understand the nature of my problem, as per Sanjana’s suggestion I took long-term sessions with her which helped me to get to the root of my anxiety issues. Sessions with her truly provided me a platform to open up and share my thoughts and worries without being interrupted. Sanjana is keen to listen to clients’ issues without any judgement, she is also knowledgeable in different aspects of life and her wisdom can be seen while offering psychotherapy. She also taught me unique grounding methods and techniques that helped me to ease my anxiety and stay integrated. It took a lot of faith and courage in myself to travel through the problem, and having a counselor like Sanjana has ensured that I was assisted and supported throughout. I recommend Sanjana for your personal therapy journey.
