Hi Sadia,
I wish to visit you with respect to counselling for my daughter. She has issues with her academics.When she leaves the house for writing her exams she is aware of everything. When she is back from exams she claims that she has fared very well. But when the papers come she has hardly written her paper. Either she has written only half ans or she has goofed up with most of her Q even after knowing ans to the Q. This is really bothering me and as result I constantly keep nagging her and this keeps me highly irritated most of the times. Her academics and my ill behaviour towards her are also affecting her behavioural pattern. Wish to know if you”ll take up child counselling.
Regards
Shweta Prabhu
Hello,
We can understand that you must be going through a lot of confusion.
It must be exhausting to deal with so many emotions at a time.
Sometimes in a marriage there can be rough patches, and it can get overwhelming to handle them by yourself.
In such situations, speaking to a counselor can be of help.
Please feel free to call us call us on 9833985538 to know more about counseling.

Hi Sadia,
My husband was a very calm and composed man. He is working at a bank in a good position. But lately we have had a lot of issues due to his family interference and his own attitude. He gets angry these days for the smallest of things which makes it very difficult to communicate with him. I try my best to deal it and maintain my composure. But I too lose it at times and get upset cause dealing with so much anger takes up all my energy. I even suggested getting a divorce if my presence is causing him any trouble. But he says he cannot live without me and punches the wall or any other hard surface in his anger and frustration. Or even starts hitting himself. I care for him and leaving him alone in this situation is not an option for me.
If you could please advise in what way can I help him , it would be great
Hello,
Counseling can definitely help in exploring what factors could have contributed to low self confidence and negative thinking.
A counselor will provide a space where he can freely share his innermost thoughts and feelings. Gradually, the counselor will work through the difficulties, helping him gain more faith in himself.

Hi Sehar
That’s a great job you are doing! I do agree that a certain section of society has more accessibility to counseling than others. However, there are a number of non-profits who do take therapy to different sections and different regions in India too. While counseling in the neighborhood, free of cost is fine, there are rules about who can and cannot do psychotherapy. You need a graduation and a masters in psychology at the minimum to qualify to make a career out of this. Regarding part time options, I wouldn’t know much. Hope this little guidance is of some help.
All the best

Dear Dr. Sadia,
It was nice to see you and your team interacting individually with each person commenting on your blog. My name is Sehar and I work as a Techincal Manager in a MNC. I developed interest in counselling some time back and I also completed my one year diploma in guidance and counselling (distance learning with some workshops added on) from Jamia. I feel though elite have quite an access to counselling services in India, but there is a whole congregation of middle class and less economically privileged people in India who are in dire need of these services. I wanted to reach out to them and started a weekly counselling session in my neighbourhood (free of cost) where anybody can contact me. I felt, people are still not aware about what the counselling is or its benefits, but I was happy that I was able to help out a handful of them. I want to make a career out of this, where I can help average people with their problems. But as I am working, can you suggest me how to proceed in this direction. Are there part time options in Counselling as a career as currently I am employed and do not want to loose out on my job before anything concrete occurs in this field for me.
Your any kind of suggestions would be very helpful for me.
Thanks,
Sehar
Dear Angira,
What you’ve studied is very interesting indeed. However, since we are a counseling centre, we would only be able to include clinical/counseling psychologists as part of the team. However, do email us your detailed resume on info@demo.innerspacetherapy.in. If there is any opportunity in the future that matches your skill set, we will write back to you.
Best Wishes

Dear Vrushti,
Clinical Psychology and psychotherapy is a field that offers plenty of scope for personal growth. To grow in this field, one needs to have a capacity to empathize with the client, as well as to maintain an objective, impartial stance. In my experience, I have also seen that deeply understanding oneself and one’s own ways of thinking and behaving helps immensely in personal and professional growth. You could call in on 9833985538 and have a brief word with one of our counsellors. They would be able to answer some of your queries.
Wishing you the very best!
Hello ma’am,
I have appeared for 12th exam and results are awaited. but one thing I am pretty sure is, I want to pursue clinical psychology. I am very keen to know this subject and it’s practice in depth, like i want to know how does the process goes? how to talk to your patient and build a rapport? and everything. I would be glad if I could meet you in person and work with you. Thank you so much and warm regards!
Hi Krunal,
We checked for an email from you but it seems as though we haven’t received it. Could you please resend it to info@demo.innerspacetherapy.in ?
Thanks and Warm Regards
Hello Sadia,
Glad you’re just around recently as I just wanted to get in touch directly with you only.
Hey I just went on and it got so long I’ve copy pasted it sent with a mail. Can you please go through it sadia.
Thanks.
Dear Rupali,
I appreciate your interest and enthusiasm for the field of psychotherapy. Graduation followed by Post-Graduation, both in Psychology, is usually what one requires to practice in the field. I am not the best person to answer your question Rupali, since I am not in touch with the academic field and with various courses available. Perhaps you could contact some Universities and find out about different courses, eligibility criteria etc. That should give you some perspective about how best you can make this switch.
I sincerely wish you the best
Hello Dr. Sadia,
Glad to see your work and the concept of Iner Space.

I am looking forward for a post graduate degree which i can do along with work that is internationally accepted, in case i plan to practice out of India.
Request your inputs please

Dear Rahul,
I understand that it can be very distressing when there are several thoughts your mind is dealing with. It takes away your energy and you are not able to commit yourself to things you really wish to do. In my opinion, it would help if you seek help from a mental health professional, such as a counselor. Truly exploring what emotions you are going through and what lies at the root of your distress would help you gain more clarity and mental energy. We have sent you an email with the process and the fee structure of counseling. Kindly check for an email from info@demo.innerspacetherapy.in

Hi Asif,
hum samaj sakte hain ki yeh aapke liye mushkil daur hai. Kabhi kabhi, bohot der tak hamare andar ke emotions dabe hue rehte hai. Hum unka dhyaan nahi rakhte hai. Dheere dheere yeh emotions badte jaate hain aur phir negative thoughts, fear, confusion paida karte hain. Hamari rai yeh hai ki aap kisi counselor se appointment leke unse baat kare. Counselor in emotions ke saath kaam karne mein aapki madad karegi. Aap humse 9833985538 par sampark kar sakte hain. Hum aapko bataenge ki counseling mein kya hota hai. Phir aap decide kar sakte hain ki aapko kya karna hai.
Hamari asha hai ki aapko madad mil jaye aur aap better feel karein
Thank you

Dear Shezaan,
We understand that this must be distressing and difficult for you to manage. Often, when there are many conflicting ideas and aspirations that have been piling up for years, it becomes very overwhelming and confusing. We suggest that you seek help from a mental health professional, such as a counselor. A counselor will be able to help you understand what these conflicting patterns are and she will gradually help you reach a space where you feel calmer and more comfortable with yourself.
We received an email from you which we have replied to. Kindly check for an email from info@demo.innerspacetherapy.in.

Though doing all well possible, n keeping my marital life honest and effortful, still we face challenges of overcoming our fights/clashess which happen with an approx freq of once-twice a week. Major reason as i understand, is my pre marital relationship (lying sometimes in backdrop of othr small reasons also), which was quite complex to manage in past, n quite strange n unpleasing to explain even in present.
We both try to improve n let go d things but in vain..
n each time post d clash extreme neg. thoughts of seperation/suicide n wat not..prevails for hrs.
Dont fear in resolving or adjusting in particular moment bt.. fear from d recurrance n endlessness.
need help…

Hi Riya
I am so sorry you are going through such a difficult time. Post Partum depression can last from several days to years. But if you do feel well, the ideal person to appeal to would be your psychiatrist. If he/she is able to certify your fitness, with the psychiatrists help you can try to convince your family. Hope it works out well for you

Dear Ma’am,
I am doing a dissertation on young childrens use of gadgets and their effect/benefits. I came across your quote in DNA article [ http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-schools-in-mumbai-are-bringing-gadgets-into-the-classroom-for-students-as-young-as-two-1909412 ]

All the best 🙂
Hi Sarika
I’m the wrong person to ask this question to. I’m not sure what courses are available after your qualification. But its never too late provided you are willing to put in effort! and then 40 is the new 30!
best of luck
Hi divya
Of course you can become a clinical psychologist with a BA. In fact BSc degrees are not really recommended for this career. However the dispute will come later.. after your MA there is some dispute about either an Mphil or some exam to be given in order to become a clinical psychologist. That dispute is still on. By the time you pass out it should get resolved 🙂
All the best

Hello Dr. Raval
I’m currently a fresher in junior college now and aspired to become a psychologist since 8th grade.. i’ve read some books and researched well on this subject.I looked you up and you’ve inspired me a lot.
But in these years i kept doubting my skills and then turn away from this idea, i still am.
I’d love to hear from you
Hi
This has been an eye opener and looking forward to the sessions. Am based out of Hyderabad hence will be able to attend online sessions.
This looks promising since i have been looking for help for a long time now.
Thank you and waiting to start counselling with you soon.

Amrapalee
Hi Chirag.

Regards
Dear Sadia,
I am working on a project where I would require some inputs from a professional psychologist to understand the human behaviour. Would it be possible for us to connect via email or phone before we can meet?
Thanks,
Chirag
Shalini
Your comment is the one of the sweetest and most touching comments 🙂
Wish you all the best in observing people now and helping people later as a psychologist.
Take care
Hello.. Ms Sadia
I’m Shalini and i’m in class 10th. I first heard the word ‘psychology’ in class 9th and since then this field has fascinated me. i have decided to bcome clinical psychologist.
I love to observe people and their behavior. While sitting idly in class i observe my classmates. I knw thts funny. 😀
I juSt love your site and now you are my inspiration. 🙂 tankew to teach me “never to stop” !!!
hi pooja
You need to meet a career counselor. a career counselor is more informed regarding the choices you need information for

hope u will get my problems solveddd….. please replyy as early as possible!!!!!! as i hav to make a decision fasttt
thanking youuuu
Hi Apphia
Sorry not up to date with the academic scene
You will need to find this stuff out from Mumbai University itself 🙂
hi Gunjan
Thanks for all the appreciation 🙂
I have my doubts that the masters course in Mumbai University would enroll a person without a bachelors degree.A Bachelor’s degree that too with all 6 papers in psychology is a compulsion for most good masters courses.
The other courses out of Mumbai or diploma courses that allow you to pursue counseling without a bachelors degree are not very recognized courses in the field.
I know this sounds like bad news but this is to the best of my knowledge!
As far as we are concerned, a bachelors and a masters degree in psychology is compulsory to be working as a psychology intern with us.
I’m no career counselor, but my advice would be to try and see how you can perhaps mix some psychology ( with a small diploma/ counseling course or something) within your own field and work out a niche space for yourself.
hope this helps! All the best 🙂
Dear Sadia ,
This is some really great work that you are doing here. Leaves many inspired.
I was hoping to get some advice from you on pursuing a career in Psychology. I completed my Bachelors in mass Media from Mumbai University , where in I had only one paper in Psychology. I further went on to do a Masters in Public Relations ..Following which I worked in the PR industry for 2.5 years only to realize that I was more keen on being in the psychology industry. I now am hopeful of pursuing a MA in Psychology from Mumbai University and then a Phd..
If you could just throw some light on how important is it to hold a bachelors degree in psychology if one wishes to make a career as a psychologist and start ones own practice. What are the criteria to start ones own practice ?
Also if I enroll myself this year for their Masters Course , is there any kind of internship opportunity I could explore with your counselling center. Your enterprise really appeals to me and I would love to be a part of it and maximize my learnings as I make my enthusiastic entry into this field.
Would love to hear from you soon .
Thanks !
Hello Ms Sadia,
I would really like some help with a few things.
I just completed my Bachelors in Mass Media and have been very eager to swerve to the field of Psychology. I got accepted for a personal interview by Christ University, Bangalore for Msc.Clinical Psych but the dates clashed with my Board exams and they never rescheduled.
I have the option of Fergusson College,Pune, however they prefer students of a psychology background, I’ve heard and they have only 20 seats out of which a few are reserved for ST/SC and OBC. Even TISS requires a BA Background and I was wondering if I could take up a course from Mumbai University(If there is such a course for one year) wherein I would complete a diploma in Psychology to be at par with the BA students.
I’m wondering what other options I have.
Would really love to hear from you,
Thankyou,
Apphia.
oh dinil
i forgot to mention you can follow me on google plus… I’m hardly personally on any social media so friend request may not be a great help 🙂
Hi Pranit
I’m glad that you feel psychology as a discipline can help you with your purpose in life.
Instead of asking a psychologist, it is better to ask a career counselor the options you have in the field of psychology and which are the better colleges now for pursuing the discipline.
I’m afraid I’ve been of little help here
but welcome to the world of mental health professionals 🙂
Hi Dinil
Sorry for the delayed reply.
I’m so glad you’ve been reading this site and like the work we are doing.
With regard IGNOU, I’m perhaps not the right person to ask as I have been out of the academic scene and in practice for too long.
I do not know the new academic trends and institutes which are scaling up or down.
Clinical or counseling depends more upon your interest.
Clinical as a training requires one to deal with people having severe psychological disorders including schizophrenia.
While clinical may actually expand the scope of how you look at psychological functioning, it may or may not be what you really like to do.
Counseling on the other hand looks less at severe disorders and more at emotional difficulties in everyday life.
there is a huge area of overlap however where practice is concerned. with clinical you can additionally work with hospital set-ups. however with increasing need of mental health help, both I would believe are lucrative enough if you are good at your work 🙂
Hi Sadia 🙂
Has been a big time admirer of this blog/site since long.
I am currently pursuing MA Psychology Distance education/correspondence IGNOU. All I need to know sister is does an IGNOU certification will have any weight? And also I am confused about choosing a specialization for my second year, Clinical or Counselling? What according to you will have better job opportunities, because I have been told Clinical is more lucrative, I just needed to clarify it with you as I believe you are a veteran in this area of discipline 🙂
Thank you in advance, and also would like to appreciate your kindness and effort to reply to everyone 🙂
P.S. Is it okay if I send you a friend request on google plus?
HI
i am pranit i have just completed my 12th science exams and waiting for the results.
since a young age i was interested in human behaviour and thinking why such and such things happens with people.
i always wanted to change our society and make it better place for humans
i believe psychology can help me change this society a bit
psychology was always the thing that i wanted to do when i grow up but u know as a child every kid has different dreams even i had many of them but now when its the time to choose my career now i have actually know what i want to be and i have zeroed in on psychology i went on through many sites and got to know many branches about psychlogy but i wanted to get a help from a psychologist about how to continue my career from here on in simple words like which colleges in mumbai and bangalore are good how many years will it be from now on till my phd and psyD in psychology etc.
hope u’ll help me out with these 🙂
Hi Gouri
Thanks for all the appreciation 🙂
The best way to become a psychologist is to go through the Social science way.
MA psychology as far as my knowledge goes is not offered through correspondence in Mumbai University
Even if you do get a correspondence course somewhere, it may be very difficult for you to practice as a psychologist as you do not have the right background and nowadays the practicing guidelines are becoming very strict.
I suggest that with your MBA in HR, if you are interested you could get an additional diploma in counseling. This might be satisfying for you and may also help you to relate better with people within the parameters of your HR work.
Hope I was of help!
All the best
Hi Rushali
Thank you for the lavish praise 🙂
I’m glad to see your interest in psychology so early on in your academic life !
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor..He gives medications to people who are mentally in distress and need help. These can range from mild problems to severe clinical mental health problems. To pursue this career you need to take science and then do your MBBS and then do a post graduate specialization like MD. the only way is to go through your medical studies.
We are psychologists. We do not give medication and do not have a medical approach. We work with the root causes of mental health issues and emotional difficulties and try to help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms. we use counselling and psychotherapy. To pursue this you need to take up humanities i.e. social sciences. You will need to graduate with six papers in psychology and then go on to do a post graduate course in either clinical or counseling psychology.
Hope this helped you 🙂

Hi Doctor Sadia,
I don’t know if you remember me as I last met u at the Karuna hospital in 2006. U can check my profile on facebook as well.. I just stumbled upon this site and wanted to know if anyone could get counselling via this site… Good job on this site….
Dear Priyanka,
As far as working as a professional in the field of psychology is concerned, the traditional approach has been to pursue a B.A. in psychology followed by an M.A. in psychology. I am personally not aware of any other course/curriculum that leads to professional work in the field of psychology. Even so, there are a lot of issues and regulations regarding licensing of psychologists, so please do be careful about any course you plan to pursue.
If on the other hand, you are looking at generic knowledge of counseling/psychology from a non-professional point of view, there are several self help books and courses available, however, I am not the best person to ask about such courses as a lot of new courses have sprung up of which I may not be aware.
All the Best!
Hi Charmi
There is a lot of scope because the need for marriage counselling is growing in India. However I am not the right person to ask about the courses as a lot of new courses have sprung up of which I may not be aware.
All the best in your search for a new course 🙂
Hi Sadia,
I am a Clinical Psychologist and have just passed out last year I want take Marriage Counseling as my careeer so I want some suggestions as in where can I find it in India and is there any scope in mumbai. I have searched for the course its a Post Graduate Diploma Course in Marriage Counseling in Kolkatta in The Global Institute is it worth doing that course and do you have any idea about the Institute.
Awaiting your reply……..
hi sadia..i am dr.priyanka..i am a dentist actually..but i have always been interested in the psychological aspect of people and now i want to take up psychology.what am i supposed to do??how do i take pursue in order to practise this too…kindly guide me..
thanks a ton..
Dear Neeta,
Thank you for writing in. It would be a good idea to find out why your child is adopting crying as a behavior. Every behavior is learnt because it satisfies certain emotional needs. Her persistent crying could be a sub-conscious way of winning your attention or your care. Maybe you could question yourself a bit about why your daughter has learnt this behavior. We conducted a parenting workshop to help parents deal with and change specific behaviors. We have briefly described what we shared in the workshop here. If you wish to contact us to seek counseling to understand this better, click here for our contact details.
Thanks
My 7 yrs old daugher is an active girl but her crying tantrum is just not controlable. Tried all sort of strategies like convincing, ignoring, count down, keeping in the bathroom till she stops crying but yet she has not reduced this habit. Today for silly reason she cried, so I got frustrated and hit one to stop, then to control her cry I said ‘sorry’ but since she didnt stop I asked frustratingly asked her to go away from my sight. She inturn hid herself into the bathroom, when we realised after long time she was not ready to come out. Dad then started count down and she opened the door he hit her 2-3 as she was very late for the school.
How do we handle her ?
Hi Aru,
Thanks for the praises. Keeps us going 🙂 We have replied to you. Please check for the same in your inbox. If you don’t find it there, check in your junk/spam folders.
Thanks and Regards
hi sadia, sent an email via the contact us form. Would appreciate a reply. This is a great website and great work by the whole team.
Hi Bharat
Thanks for the appreciation and sorry for the delayed reply. It is difficult for me to answer your question. I’m afraid my knowledge of the availability of courses is limited. A career counselor is probably a better person to approach. However from what I do understand, the registration issues in this field are huge, part-time degrees and diplomas are getting under more and more scrutiny and who is allowed and disallowed to practice professionally has become a matter of huge debate and confusion. Hence whatever you do choose, please see that these issues are clarified at the very start of your course 🙂
Hi Batista
7-8 hours of daydreaming is quite a bit… Day dreams are often defense mechanisms. They are a mechanism for wish-fulfillment. Hence the problem is never the dreaming but what thoughts motivate those day dreams. The content of the dreams can tell you a lot about what it is that you are really missing and what it is that seems to be unfulfilled. Not everything that we want gets fulfilled, but often there are things we can reach out to that we don’t because we think we can’t. Its difficult to address this whole problem here, but maybe you can meet a psychotherapist for a session to understand the nature of the difficulty and see what lies beneath it 🙂
For the past few years, I have had a serious problem with excessive daydreaming to the point where my life has taken a turn for the worse.On an average,I spend around 7-8 hours daydreaming per day.I did read the article on excessive daydreaming by one of your psychologists but it would be really helpful if you could suggest a few more ways to deal with this problem effectively.
Hi Sadia,
I really like the concept of Inner Space. Its something really good which you have got going here.
Since early years in my life i have been really fascinated with a human mind – i was curious to know why people did the things they did. What made them react in a particular manner, what were the factors which made them react in that manner. It just fascinated me.
In time i started pondering what can i do to change a particular behavior for the good or the bad in others.
And as results with my friends i become an agony aunt or a person who gave them a new way at looking at things.
Now when i was in school i didn’t realize i had love for human behavior. So i pursued my studies in marketing did Bachelors in Management studies (BMS) and later on did a MBA in marketing.
And soon i was working with an Top Ad Agency, but recently the curiosity for the human brain has increased – and i have started considering going towards studying Psychology and take it professionally. But i am 30 now. i need some advice on how do i go about things – spending 3 years to earn a degree and thn PG it will be about 5 to 7 years for me to take it professionally.
I still need to support my family and i cant really think of leaving and pursuing this.
Can you advice what courses i can take (Part time degrees) are degrees better or diploma.
I event dont mind taking a years break and doing full time year course but not beyond that – post which i will have to go part time.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Rgds
Bharat
Hi Suyash
When you say corporate, do you mean psychologists who also deal with corporate issues or simply those that are employed by corporates.
Let us know so we can help you accordingly. A good idea would be to mail us about the same.
All the best with your project 🙂
Hi Sadia.
I am a student currently pursuing my degree in bachelors in management studies. I am working on a project which explains career guidance and psychology in corporates. I can connect my topic with some of the brilliant articles posted on this website. Can you suggest me some corporate psychologists who can guide me in my project ?
Thanks Makito!!!
Very, very nice page! 🙂
Dear Dr. Makarand
Thank you for writing in. You could check with Mumbai University if a correspondence course would be possible with your educational background. The Rehabilitation Council of India lays down regulations about what degrees and institutes are recognized with respect to Clinical Psychology. I suggest that you look their site up for any additional information.
Thanks,
Sadia Raval

Hi Pooja,
We are glad you appreciate our work. University of Mumbai offers both correspondence and full time courses for Masters in Psychology. You could inquire with them and decide which option suits you. Alternatively, you could also check with SNDT university to find out about courses they offer.

The Inner Space Team
Hi Sadia!
I came across your website while searching for reputed institutes which provide masters in psychology. I really appreciate your work.
I have done my BE (Electronics) from University of Mumbai and MBA (Finance). Have also worked for 2 years in each field. However, I have taken a break to look after my child who is 3 years now.
I always found human psychology and behavior quite interesting. I wanted to know where i can do a distance learning or masters in mumbai.
Thanks.
