My Story
I began my career in communications and creativity, however, series of serendipitous events made me realise that the tools of creative communications are strongly linked to well-being. In my quest to reach those who could benefit the most from these tools, I ended up at the Ministry of Social & Family Development. Post stringent interviews, checks and trainings, I began mentoring youth & families-at-risk. Parallely, I continued my job as a writer, educator & a consultant. In the 2nd year of mentoring, I witnessed a suicide attempt in one of the Girls’ Homes. I was devastated and realised that firstly, I needed more resources to assist and secondly, I needed more ways to strengthen myself so that I could be effectively there for the others.
Somewhere around this time, a debilitating illness rendered me bed ridden for 8 months. It looked like the end of a normal life for me, however, I recovered. I attribute this recovery to a mind shift and I could walk again. Transitioning from the depth of hopelessness to a place of hope was nothing short of a miracle, and yet it was a series of little things that led to this change. The transformative power of mind blew me away and I began to believe in intuitive living and intuitive healing. That’s where a new journey began. I went back to school and did my 2nd Bachelor’s degree and then my 2nd and 3rd Post Grad in Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy. I became a full-time therapist and began supporting others in their own healing and growth journeys. Oh yes, I still write for pleasure and I still volunteer at the Ministry (and other welfare organisations). As I continue to combine communication with Psychology, I work alongside my clients to not only enable a positive change for the individual but also for those around them. Confidentiality, integrity and dignity are sacred in my line of work. Compromise is not an option.
It’s an honour and a privilege to be able to do what I do. Thank you for trusting me.

Testimonials

"It is such a soothing experience to speak to Prionka. Extremely empathetic and a great listener. Absolutely did not feel judged and it is so relieving sharing concerns with her. Prionka, thank you so much for your empathy and for providing a safe space to share everything freely. It is an amazing experience after coming back from the session."

"The calm energy which Prionka has, helped me feel secure around her. I also felt she did ask questions which help me identify where I may still be people pleasing and I did come out with some solutions around the same. Thank you for being uniquely you and keeping the warmth intact as humans before being a therapist."

"Prionka is very friendly and approachable counsellor. She addresses our issues very efficiently, also helps in finding out solutions, bringing out our hidden talents and boosting our confidence again. I will highly recommend her services to everyone.

Wishing you all the best in all of the 1000 hats you wear and looking forward to more opportunities, more successes together.”


"Prionka provides me with a very safe space and warm space. I feel free to say almost everything to her, and she receives everything I tell her with incredible understanding and empathy. She is very good at listening to and understanding my struggles and problems. I have rarely ever felt this comfortable and safe being vulnerable with someone, which I think was a big one for me."

"My daughter was going through a tough time with her friends in school. They were ganging up against her and wouldn't tell her the reason. This affected my daughter very much. Her self confidence had completely gone. She would prefer to be at home around me all the time. We could see the impact on her grades as well as on her health. Finally after 2-3 months of this trauma we decided to take her to a mentor. We met Prionka through a common friend. She got my daughter to open up and analyse her feelings and thoughts. She taught her ways to handle a stressful situation. We could see the change in my daughter and how she perceived things differently. She has developed her self confidence and has many good friends now. We would like to thank and recommend Prionka to everyone."
