I had tried several therapy sessions in the past without seeing any noticeable changes in my thought patterns. Then, I decided to give Ello Mind a try. My therapist, Teresa, is very friendly, and I was able to connect with her perspective right away. She has already helped me make a positive change during one of the lowest points in my life.

Ello Mind is a really good centre for mental health and wellness. From the very first session, they created a safe and supportive space where I felt comfortable opening up. I highly recommend Ello Mind and Ms Teresa to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and effective therapy.

About Priyamvada

Priyamvada works with couples who feel stuck, individuals going through relationship trouble, and people dealing with grief or burnout. If you and your partner keep having the same argument, or you are carrying something heavy on your own, that is the kind of thing she is good at.

Therapeutic approach

Her approach combines person-centred therapy with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. The goal is simple: both people feel heard, not judged.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book individual sessions with Priyamvada, or only couples sessions?

Both. Priyamvada works with individuals dealing with relationship challenges, grief, or burnout, as well as couples who want to work on their relationship together.

What if my partner is reluctant to start couples therapy?

Many partners start therapy feeling unsure. The first session is low-pressure and designed to help both of you feel comfortable. You can also start with individual sessions first and bring your partner in later.

How does Priyamvada approach grief counselling?

There is no formula. Priyamvada lets you go at your own pace and does not push you toward a particular outcome. Her approach is person-centred, which means the focus stays on what you are feeling, not a checklist.

Can Priyamvada help with burnout from work?

Yes, burnout is one of the things she works with most. She will help you figure out what is draining you and work on boundaries that actually stick.

Will the therapist take sides during couples sessions?

No. Priyamvada focuses on the relationship dynamics, not on determining who is right or wrong. Both partners are heard equally in every session.
