Testimonials
“I found the experience to be quite positive. Prakriti was generally easy to talk to about anything on my mind. This was really helpful as it meant I could properly think through what it was I was saying and by extension thinking. But she also was good a stopping me from rambling on and on or getting off topic.”
“The sessions have been extremely useful, and would like to pass on my thanks.”
“Dr Pratiki has shown a great empathy and patience with my daughter and her recovery from OCD.
When we started the online sessions my daughter was struggling with her germs fear and her life was becoming harder and harder.
My daughter immediately liked dr Pratiki kind approach and created a trustworthy relationship with her.She opened up to her and installed a strong connection with her.
During some particularly difficult sessions for my daughter ,dr Pratiki calm and warm attitude made a huge difference in helping her going through those sessions and facing her worries.
She is very knowledgeable , empathetic with a very positive attitude.
We have found her advice incredibly helpful and that , in turn, has taught the whole family how to support my daughter in her recovery.
She had many conversations with me suggesting various resources for me to learn about ocd and to help my daughter overcoming it. I knew I wasn’t alone in this anymore.
Also, we really appreciated her continuous support and her availability when we had some ‘emergency ‘situations. I knew I could reach out to her during some moments of crisis.
My daughter has worked very hard in her recovery and just yesterday she told me someone in her class was sick and she didn’t worry or didn’t feel the need to leave the room. Instead she wanted to help her friend.
She is back to her normal happy self and I only need to remind her from time to time some of Dr Pratiki teaching about watching the worry and let it go ,or breathing deeply when she is feeling a bit anxious.
We would like to thank Dr Pratiki for her incredible help and we know that she will always be able to help my daughter in the future if she ever needs her again. She really made a difference in our life.”
