It was one of the most crucial times of my life, when I got Madam Priya’s contact number. For almost 10 years I have been trying family counselling at various places for which the results were almost ‘Nil’. But this time it was much more serious as our 11 yr old kid was slipping out of her self. She already had some problems with our family issues but COVID time totally disturbed herself. I had to bring her back and for that I had to get myself stable coz I influenced her so much. This time with Madam Priya’s support I got complete relief and the confidence to be myself. I remember your words Ma’am that,‘We can’t live satisfying each and everyone’. I knew it…..But after the sessions u gave , the words just got me back to life. Then only I realised that I was suffering just because I kept on trying to satisfy others no matter how they treated me. After that Ma’am started sessions for my kid and she is now very good. She is doing well in her studies, with Priya Ma’ms support she perfectly managed many of our problems like mobile phones and social media which she developed during the COVID time. To conclude.. Now our Kid has achieved a State Shooting Championship( Silver Medal), got to State Level for another sports event also. So is our( Me and My Husband) mind set. Still we get timely support whenever we approach her. Thank You for the time and dedication more over for your calming words that touches the exact point of pain and pressure in our mind
I was suffering from a real event OCD for over 2 years. I didn't know it was Rocd then. I used to think about this incident which occurred during my teen age. Time flew by. One fine day about 12 years after this incident happened I recalled it suddenly. I did not realise it was the gateway to hell. From there onwards my life was in complete darkness. Day by day the thoughts about that incident gained up on me. I began to think I don't deserve any good. I couldn't sleep, eat, be happy, study or do anything. I could only lie down somewhere and be sad all day. I fell into a deep depression. I thought about suicide. My hope in life was lost. Then one day I came across an article written by Priya madam on the internet. It was about OCD. She taught me how to relax my mind through breathing exercises and guided images. It was really helpful. But my negative feelings keep on gaining strength. I was in my own hell once more. The demon-like thoughts in my mind were much stronger. But the breathing techniques quite helped me to relieve my anxiety. During all these times I googled a lot about OCD. Madam asked me to stop doing this. I stopped it slowly. It was so difficult. But it helped me in the process. Somedays I feel like hell, somedays somewhat okay. But I never had that life I used to have. In the next phase she asked me to take something positive out of the worries. Surprisingly I could think of 3 or more things. So I was able to think about it in a positive way. The thoughts were finally gone. But that was not the end. It came back again. Then I realised that positive thoughts also had become one of the compulsions which makes up the 'C' for ocd. Then I rewinded every meeting with ma’am. And I suddenly noticed there was one thing I haven't done yet, which she told me to do from the very beginning. It was to never give any value to these thoughts. But I didn't listen to her because I didn't have the mental strength to do so. But by going through all these types of processes which I have mentioned above I was able to gain somehow which I still don't know the mental courage to do it. I started practising it like she told me. I watched things that would trigger me, I continued to study even though these intrusive thoughts came to mind. I felt anxious but I didn't do any compulsions.Then I realised I was doing exposure and response prevention.Then I started practising it all day. Day by day I realised that I am becoming free from the clutches of this OCD thing. Now even the anxiety has disappeared, I am not giving any value to it. But thoughts are still there, but they are not bothering me anymore.They often come and go that's it. I am not allowing these thoughts to trick me. Priya madam had already told me this from the beginning but my mind at that initial stage was so depressed and not stable I couldn't do it. She helped me to reach that mind through her various techniques like breath control, writing and analysing your thoughts etc. Now I have got my life back. Now I can study, watch movies, enjoy time with my parents, friends, I can laugh, I am enjoying my life. The one thing I noticed about her is that she listens to you well and treats you with much importance. She spends a lot of time with you. In fact I cannot thank her enough, as she had literally saved my life. Seriously, I am not bragging here. One thing I understood from my experience is that these thoughts will always come and go, never give value to them, you will find peace, but most of the times you will need an expert to accompany you, mine was priya madam

The internship which I pursued here is one of the most rewarding experience and one that I miss dearly
I have done an internship at Breath Mind Care Clinic under Priya Varghese and got good exposure, even much better than other psychiatric hospitals in which I have done internships. The staff is very humble and sincere in this field. Through the right guidance, I have got a clear idea about different disorders and how a clinic works. The strategies are good and I especially thank Priya Varghese ma'am for finding time in the middle of the tight schedule and teaching as well
I was in search of a Clinical Psychologist during the lockdown times to tackle my panic attack and anxiety issues. It was a mutual friend who gave me Priya doctor's contact. Right from the start she was the best listener I've ever come across in my life. She always knew what to say when without hurting my sentiments and her sessions were my refuge during that time. But the best part is she trusted me completely and that improved my self confidence once again. Also now that I rewind, I understand that she slowly cut off the contact when I started relying too much on the sessions even for small matters. It reflected her genuine and sincere attitude towards her patients
