If Serene Hour Counselling & Career
Advice Consultancy had to be described, I would say Serene Hour feels, understands, and
empathizes with the concerns and worries of every client that reaches out to it.

OUR FOUNDING BELIEF

Everyone needs to reach out to a
counsellor/therapist during some season of their life. Sometimes one can
also reach out to a counsellor often. The season or reason could be many, some of them
being – a major life change that feels unsettling or overwhelming, need for a
perspective, need to challenge negative thoughts or behaviours, need to
heal trauma, need to help you understand yourselves and to be understood.

OUR MISSION

To create a lasting value in the lives of our
clients. You could be someone who’s spirit is mired because you feel helpless
or hopeless about your life’s situation. You could be dealing
with a personal or professional setback and need to talk about it
without feeling judged. You could be going through unhealed and
unidentified trauma that is coming in your way of feeling happy.

WHY TAKE THERAPY WITH SERENE HOUR?

Therapy or counselling can help and encourage you to
identify, challenge and change troubling thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Therapy is
a safe space where you will feel heard, understood, helped, and healed.

WHY TAKE CAREER COUNSELLING WITH SERENE HOUR?

There are so many children who could do wonders
with the right career counselling and guidance at the right time. So
many children who as adults wouldn’t reach to the peak of dissatisfaction
and distress with their careers only if they had made the right
education choices. A career and education path must be based
on an individual’s aptitude, personality, aspirations, learning
abilities, learning styles, learning disabilities or neurodevelopmental

disorders (If any). Serene Hour Counselling & Career
Advice Consultancy was founded with all these core values at its foundation.
I sincerely hope that Serene Hour becomes the guiding stone in your
journey. You and I together will work towards helping you reach
your therapy, career or education goals.

I believe that I am a warm
and
empathetic counsellor/therapist and an applied psychology
practitioner.
I apply the tenets of psychology to the areas of Counselling and
Therapy, Education, Industry and Careers.

CAREER COUNSELLING FOR ADULTS

I follow the tenets
of
psychological observation, application of counselling
techniques, and if required psychometric assessments to
help
clients figure a career or occupation path that is the
best
suited to them in their current situation in life. The
session
aims to leave you with insights and perspectives along with
a
workable course of action.

THERAPY FOR ADULTS

I use a mix of (CBT) Cognitive
behavioural therapy (DBT) – Dialectical behaviour
therapy, Interpersonal therapy (IPT) and
Psychodynamic
therapy (PDT) techniques to reach out and connect
with
people looking for counselling and therapy.

To resolve
various issues that could include depression,
anxiety,
marital, relationships & family, emotional
loneliness,
self-esteem, motivation, stress etc. I
give one-on-one sessions as well as group workshops
that
focus on sex education for women ages 18 years
onwards
(Ask for our sessions) These sessions focus on
education, awareness and debunking unhelpful myths
related to sexual health.

PSYCHOLOGY FOR COPORATE‘S

I help organizations, understand
their
employees, and integrate them with ease into their
systems. I support organizations organizing
employee
engagement programme with workshops and one on one
employee counselling sessions and conduct
psychometric
assessments for employee selection and hiring.

PLAY THERAPY / COUNSELLING FOR CHILDREN

Play therapy is a powerful
technique
which gives psychologists great insights in
understanding children and connecting with them. I
used
a combination of CBT and play therapy to understand
the
inner world of children.

Play
therapy
helps me to connect with them and CBT helps me to
challenge negative thoughts and behaviours. I
specialize
in working with children.

Group 1 –
3
to 4 years old, Group 2 – 5 to 8years old

Group 3 – 9 to 12 years old, Group 4 – teens

My
other
areas of work include conducting ‘parent-child
bonding
sessions.’ (Ask for child-parent bonding
sessions).
These sessions focus on connection, communication,
fun
and discovering each other.

CAREER COUNSELLING FOR CHILDREN

I help children to understand
how
education works for them, what learning styles best
suit
them, what kind of career paths are suited to them,
by
integrating psychometric testing tools and
observations
based on psychological evaluations.
