Sherene and her team are passionate about helping you find your way and it shows. They took out time to solve all my queries before I booked an appointment and helped me pick a counselling type best suited to what I was looking for. In the session, Sherene first understood my needs and my personality, my experience at my previous work places and my general life view to provide clarity and guidance in regards to my career. She helped me identify my communication and working styles that further narrowed down my career options, giving me a clear idea on my next steps. We spoke about alternative career paths, education, ideal cities and countries to move to and a lot more that significantly cleared my mind. Sherene is a good judge of character and is a genuine person offering to help those seeking it, be it working professionals like me or students. I highly recommend Serene Hour for its open, safe and judgement free environment that put your needs at the forefront.

I was at my wits with my son, end on how to resolve issues with my son. From the first session itself Sherene was able to engage my son - something I was so surprised. What I really liked about them is that they are honest and upfront about everything. They let me make the decisions. They are quick to respond whenever I tried to reach out to them. Sherene is very punctual and professional in her conduct as a therapist. Her play therapy techniques genuinely made a difference in my son and my approach to parenting.

Going through a hard break up I took therapy with serene hour on a friends recommendation. I felt doubtful of taking therapy. The more sessions I did with her I began seeing positive changes in myself. Sherene is a very good listener and she truly can empathise. Interactions with her and her staff were always warm. During the sessions she would hear me out and help me figure out my issues. Helped me understand boundaries and how to communicate my needs. This has improved my approach to relationships and dating. I am so glad I took therapy with her. Sherene was really nice and humble.
Vamika Santosh Shetty
My experience with Sherene was absolutely FANTASTIC. I approached her for career counselling as i am going through post graduation blues and didn't know a way to figure out the path ahead. Sherene was absolutely calm, understanding and patient with me throughout the 3 hours of my counselling. By the end of the session, i was finally able to see what i really wanted to pursue ahead and got a better clarity about my career. I can't explain the relief and satisfaction i have felt post that. It was a fabulous session, she listened to me and guided me accordingly to the correct path. I would definitely recommend Serene Hour Counselling to everyone out there!

I have been going to Serene Hour for therapy quite some time. I wanted to write this review to thank Sherene Ma'am for how much she has helped me navigate difficult times in my life. She helped me heal my inner child and helped me cope with toxic people at home and at work. I have begun to make better life choices thanks to my regular sessions with her. The staff is welcoming and makes you feel at ease.

It was a really enlightening session where I got the clearity I was looking for as I wanted to do a career switch. Sherene ma'am is quite understanding and knowledgeable and was very patient throughout the session. God-gifted and brilliant at what she does, she will help you see the picture you may not realize about yourself. I could speak openly up about all the important aspects of my life during the session. The thing I liked the most is she guided me based on my strengths and that is quite encouraging. She also gave me a good understanding of the alternative career paths I was looking at. Thank you so much.
Shikha Singh
Sherene was able to understand and get through my son. Through his therapy sessions we saw a significant improvement in my son's behavior and personality. Sherene is non-judgemental and not did make me feel guilty or judged as a parent. She is not just connected with my son but with me as well as a parent and an individual. Can't recommend her enough to parents to who are looking for a non- judgmental and empathetic counsellor. Her staff is approachable and will answer all your queries.
Champa Malik
I was at a stage of my life where I felt like a failure and hopeless about my career prospects. I met Sherene Ma'am after a lot of hesitation. The office staff is very polite and helpful. My session with ma'am was so calming and positive. She reassured me nothing is impossible and worked with me step by step. Helped me regain my self confidence as well as guided me on the right career path. I did psychometric tests at the office. The reports and her interpretation was so accurate. She explained the reports in detail and how to apply the insights to my current situation.

I recently utilized the service of a fantastic counselor, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the support and guidance they provided. Their empathy, professionalism, and expertise were evident in every session, and I truly felt heard and understood. Offered valuable insights and practical strategies that have helped me navigate through challenging times. I highly recommend this services to anyone seeking effective counseling.
Prerna Shah
Sherene is a very good counselor. I would highly recommend her for parents looking forward for guidance on career counseling for teenagers. Sherene was excellent and her inputs and observations were very convincing. I personally felt that Sherene knew everything about my son as I knew about him as a mother. Simply, because she turned those hours of counseling for my son into knowing his strengths and weakness in a positive way. Sherene made my son realize its all fine to have weaknesses which can be worked on and turned into his future strengths.
Ayushi Gupta
Sherene has helped me overcome my grief and trauma. She really listens to understand. Taught me techniques to cope with grief. Her sessions are affordable, and her team is very understanding and cooperative. Very flexible as well. When I was travelling I could schedule online therapy sessions and her staff went above and beyond to make sure all my sessions took place as per our therapy plan. Very organised and efficient centre. Have not met a more genuine and concerned counsellor.
Deepti Naik
Ms.Sherene is very calm and talented person. We had counselling done for our daughter studying in Grade 8. She understood her very well and my daughter was extremely comfortable with her. She gave us good insights about different career paths based on our child's calibre and interests. She is very patient too with her clients. Highly recommend her.
