We recommend dietary changes that not only reverse the disease you are struggling with, but also get rid of other health problems, improve your immune system and prevent several other diseases in the future. At times, these changes can seem difficult, but they can be soon internalised, made to be enjoyable, and positive effects keep you motivated forever. It is not necessary to make all the changes right away, you can start with as much as is possible for you to do, and keep improving as you progress. There are various options of the level of support that you can choose from.

II. Psychological Consultation with SHARAN

At SHARAN we put our best efforts to address all kinds of health goals. We have psychologists onboard as part of SHARAN’s Psychological Assistance Program to provide you psychological assistance while you transition and to assist you in reaching your goals.

Some frequently asked questions in this regard are detailed below:

What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?
Psychologists study the science of human behavior. They have professional training and clinical skills that allow them to help people deal more effectively with life problems and ease distress associated with mental health issues. They are not licensed to prescribe medicines. A psychiatrist usually prescribes medicines for psychiatric diseases.

When should I seek psychological counseling session and how will it benefit me?
People seek psychological counseling for a variety of reasons, and at different stages in their lives. There is no rule or set structure for when someone should speak with a psychologist.Most common reasons are for therapy of depression, low self-esteem, work stress, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, eating disorder, weight loss, parenting, addiction etc.Some people use the therapy sessions as part of their ongoing personal development or skill development. Some find these sessions helpful for them to manage their mental wellbeing, so that they can respond better to unpredictable life situations causing stress.

What actually happens in therapy sessions?
Each therapy session is basically a problem-solving session. At the beginning of a session, it is crucial that you and your therapist form a good reputation to discuss your difficulties and goals. The therapist will invite you to share what’s been going on in your life, what’s on your mind, what’s bothering you or whether there are any goals you’d like to discuss.

Do I have to be “sick” or “disturbed” to go see a therapist?
No. The mindset that one has to be “extremely disturbed” in order to see a therapist is a myth. Psychologists provide therapy for issues which are serious in nature like depression & suicidal thoughts and also focus on simply helping clients work through far more typical, everyday challenges like mapping out a career change, improving parenting skills, strengthening stress management skills or navigating a divorce or separation. In fact, most of our clients are successful, high-achieving people who are quite healthy and successful in their roles. They may be challenged by a specific, personal goal—like losing weight, creating more work-life balance, finding ways to parent more effectively, fearful of committing to a relationship or dealing with a rough break up. Some clients also use the therapy sessions as part of their ongoing personal development or skill development.
Some clients use the therapy sessions as part of their ongoing personal development or skill development.

How many sessions will I need?
The therapeutic process varies depending on the individual and the concerning issues to them. It is dependent on factors such as previous treatment, support networks and coping strategies.If you are clear in your mind about your goals for seeking therapy you can straight away book any of the packages mentioned or take an initial consultation session and decide after that what would be best for you with the help of your therapist.

Is my information confidential?
We adhere to our strict guidelines on privacy. Your psychologist will discuss limits of confidentiality on your first consultation session.
