The experience of a lifetime: Hello everybody, it gives me immense pleasure to share with you an experience well cherished with mental health at its center. I am a doctor by profession from Kolkata, and my issue was with my teenage child. Well this pandemic has done more damage than we can imagine, and so it was with our child. The whole issue started aggravating about two years back ,with people working from home ,schools shut all movements being curtailed, basically no social interaction what so ever in physical world. I being a doctor would still be going to my work place, but the child being completely home bound .I used to be very stressed out given the pandemic situation, at my work place,so was not able to give much time to my child. I used to be very short tempered and irritable all the time ,also my husband being in the corporate sector is always under high stress. So all in all my child had virtually no body to talk to. She was gradually going into a shell of her own, used to be very depressed also irritable and gradually became recluse . The only interactions she would have with us was in the form of arguments and fights, which were initially verbal and gradually took the shape of physical .The physical violence towards us became her mode of self defense. This was compounded by the fact that my mother in law was also not in the best of her mental health, and she refused to take any help. It was at this time the decision to take some active help was taken. We came to know of Bijal through one of our friend s who is psychologist herself, she vouched for Bijal as a very good child psychologist . The time when she was to start her therapy session my daughter was to have her exams ,so I was not very keen on it as she would have to devote 2 hrs per week on the sessions. It was Bijal who assured me that if not anything the sessions will actually help her in taking the exams. Believe me my daughter who had just given up on herself ,gave the exam without any problems.The therapist not only showed my daughter how to deal with issues but also counseled us . She told us how we should try to hear her out ,and listen to her opinions too. One of the major points of the child was there was no one to hear her ,I can well imagine how suffocating it might have been for her.Here I would like to point out Bijal practices what she preaches, after each of her five hr sessions she would take the feedback and her opinion on further extension of the sessions. Her guidance is helping our daughter along with us to tide over this crisis period. It has been about 4 months since she took her last session and things are definitely looking far brighter than what it was. Now my daughter has started going to school ,though she has some anxiety issues ,but she is trying to follow HER Bijal Aunty’s advice not to run away from the problems instead face them, and deal . Also our therapist has become a life long partner to take advice and tide over life and its various tribulations. I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH BIJAL MAM . Am sure this instance resonates with many of you ,I would urge you to take help asap incase you all are in a similar situation. Do Not wait,Mental Health is as much crippling if not more than any physical illness.

A super positive review for Bijal Didi I was in an extremely low point in life due to postpartum identity crisis. The situation at home with my in-laws was triggering such negativity in my life that I had major panic attacks. And just two months with Bijal Didi changes everything. She made me realise the root cause of my anxiety and overthinking. She patiently went deep down into my life to identify the starting point of all the mental breakdowns. And then with various fun-filled methods healed me from inside. Today I have such a positive attitude towards life and feel so happy and blessed all the time. I would recommend her to literally anyone going through a difficult time in their life. Can't thank you enough didi 🙏🏻🙏🏻

As a mental health professional from Assam I was looking for a course that brought in knowledge and practical skills of learning disorders. I attended the training by Ms Bijal Bhatt and she was receptive and well responsive trainer throughout the program. She made us think practically outside of textbook knowlege which made us feel confident in applying it to clinical settings. She is passionate about children and their mental health and well being.

I always thought I was adequately equipped to handle all challenges motherhood threw my way.. that was until, the pandemic hit and my kids were homebound, with online school, very limited peer-interaction and too much screen time.. the compound effect of all these on my kids and their mental health and anxiety, was something I was very ill-equipped to handle.. that's when I got the contact information of Dr. Bijal. Since then both my kids have undergone several sessions of therapy with her, and it has helped them and me understand the various manifestations of this anxiety and how to handle them. I am very grateful for the way she has helped them get a handle of all these strange emotions their young minds are going through in these strange and tumultuous times!

I did the remedial education training with Bijal Bhatt. The course was in-depth and we learnt many techniques, methods and tools to work with students. It was a great learning experience

I have known Ms Bijal Bhatt for some time now. I am a father of teenage girl settled overseas. We approached Ms Bijal for help and guidance. She comes across as a genuine and caring person. She is extremely professional in her work and has in-depth knowledge of her subject. She is a good orator and a fantastic Counsellor. I hope she finds success in her new endeavour and wish her web project all the best.

In 2017 my son then 8 years old was diagnosed with ‘ADHD’. The school counsellor referred to Ms.Bijal for him, for remedial classes. The best thing is that she first counselled us (the parents) and helped us to understand the ups and downs of ‘ADHD’, plus the weaknesses and strengths of our son. Though the treatment planned was for the son’s issues, but she even helped and guided us to float smoothly through the turmoil in many ways. She started with the social skills, self-control, self-image and then reading-writing skills from very basics. She used to be in direct contact with my son’s doctor, school counselor, and us to get the latest feedback on my son’s progress and change the sessions accordingly. She even considered all the environmental factors like family members, friends, social situations etc. while working on him. She is definitely the most trust worthy, understanding and loving person in his life, as she is the only one who helped him to understand his world in a better way. So, since 2017, she is the unmissable part of his life, even throughout pandemic. Thankyou mam for helping me in raising up such a beautiful and happy soul and overall charming personality.
