Madhuja Sawant — Solution focussed, Person-centred Counsellor with 3+ years of practice.

I believe that the gateway to peace is by piercing through the truth. Each one of us lives a truth, a reality, that’s unique to us. This is what shapes us, our perceptions, and also gives birth to our coping mechanisms & survival strategies. I believe that one has to sit with one’s truth, face it with compassion, and at times, with brutal honesty, for one’s authentic version to come alive & thrive. I feel that the counselling process is just the beginning of uncovering that profound truth which resides within us; it’s an opportunity to meet versions of oneself that need a place at the table, so as to be seen, heard, understood, accepted and maybe, even be released from their suffering. I use an eclectic approach towards counselling, deriving intervention techniques especially from CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, analytical psychology, but also draw inspiration from mindfulness practices & other alternative spiritual principles; focusing on creating a structured healing, tailor-made for each individual being.
