Mental health is not a trend.
It is a commitment — to ethics, science, and compassion.

At The MindScape, we work at the level of healing and care.
Through ISMHAA (International Society for Mental Health Advocacy and Action), we take this work forward into advocacy, education, and ethical action.

Because mental health deserves understanding — not sensationalism.

From awareness to action.
Together.

Therapeutic work can often feel quiet and solitary. As therapists, we hold our clients’ stories with deep responsibility, honouring confidentiality and protecting their identities. For the same reason, our work rarely finds a public voice—yet it remains deeply meaningful.

Still, it is important for people to know that therapy works.

On rare occasions, a client chooses to express their experience in a way that can be shared—without compromising privacy—and those moments feel profoundly affirming. I feel truly grateful to one such client who, with immense thoughtfulness, gifted me something deeply personal and handmade, and graciously consented to this reflection being shared here 😇

What touched me most was the sincerity behind the gesture—especially the heartfelt letter written by her children, which left me quietly moved. Moments like these serve as gentle reminders of why we do what we do 🙏🏻😇

I share this not as praise, but as reassurance—for anyone wondering whether healing is possible. Therapy is a collaborative process. It requires presence, honesty, consistency, and willingness from both the client and the therapist. When that partnership is nurtured, meaningful change becomes possible.

May this stand as a quiet testament to the power of therapeutic work—and to the resilience of those who commit to the journey 💫🧿

Grateful to have been invited by MPOWER – Meghalaya Programme for Wellbeing, Empowerment & Resilience (Government of Meghalaya) to participate in the Consultative Workshop on the Meghalaya Adolescent Wellbeing Curriculum held on 19th December 2025.

I couldn't make it to Shillong, but they still insisted on presenting my perspectives online 😇 I am glad to contribute psychological insights to discussions on building a competency-based, age-appropriate, and culturally contextualised adolescent wellbeing curriculum for the state of Meghalaya.

The consultation focused on crucial domains, including emotional well-being, mental health, healthy relationships, life skills, digital well-being, substance-use prevention, reproductive health, and holistic adolescent development. It was encouraging to witness a strong, multi-sectoral approach involving education, health, mental well-being, and community stakeholders.

Honoured to be part of this meaningful initiative aimed at strengthening adolescent resilience and wellbeing through evidence-informed, context-sensitive frameworks.
Looking forward to seeing these collective insights shape impactful policy and practice for young people.

Grateful for the trust and opportunity to contribute.

On 29th November, I had the honour of attending The Power Connect as a Special Guest & Invited Speaker. This gathering brought together some of the brightest entrepreneurs and professionals from Northeast India.

Thank you, Kaveri Banikya, for creating a platform that celebrates ideas, resilience, and meaningful networking.
I talked about the power of collaboration and how consumer psychology works.
Also, learned a lot from highly experienced speakers from different areas 😇

I believe that when passionate individuals come together with openness and purpose, powerful conversations begin—and from those conversations, powerful change follows.

Grateful for the warm felicitation and the opportunity to be part of a community that leads with courage, creativity, and collaboration.
Here’s to building bridges, strengthening networks, and empowering each other to grow. ✨

A late post:

My decision to become a Psychologist had many reasons; one was my desire to reach out to children and teenagers who are struggling in some way. This session on “IMPORTANCE OF PROPER REGULATION OF EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS OF STUDENTS FOR SHAPING THEIR FUTURE " with more than 100 students from the remote areas of Majuli allowed me to do exactly that.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and for the invitation extended by the NGO “Udayan-the rising” which is doing remarkable work to support and uplift children from these communities.

কাউন্সেলিং (পৰামৰ্শ) আৰু থেৰাপী (মনোচিকিৎসা) শব্দ দুটাকে প্ৰায়েই একেই বুলি ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হয় — কিন্তু দুয়োটা উদ্দেশ্য পৃথক।
এই পাৰ্থক্যটো বুজি ল’লে আপোনাৰ নিজা মানসিক স্বাস্থ্যৰ বাবে সঠিক সহায় বাছনি কৰিবলৈ সহায় হ’ব। 💛

🔹 কাউন্সেলিং বৰ্তমানৰ সমস্যাসমূহত সহায় কৰে — চাপ, দিশহীনতা, সিদ্ধান্ত লওঁতে অসুবিধা, মানসিক অভাৰৱেল্ম।
🔹 থেৰাপি ভিতৰলৈ গভীৰভাবে যায় — ট্রমা, শৈশৱৰ আঘাত, এটাচমেন্ট পেটাৰ্ন, সম্পৰ্কগত সমস্যা, আৰু দীৰ্ঘদিনৰ মানসিক সংগ্রামসমূহ সমাধান কৰাত সহায় কৰে।

The MindScape-ত আমি এই দুয়োটা পদ্ধতি একেলগে সংহতি কৰি এটা সামগ্ৰিক, হাইব্ৰিড মানসিক স্বাস্থ্য সেৱা প্ৰদান কৰোঁ — য’ত প্ৰয়োজন অনুসৰি প্ৰমাণভিত্তিক মনোবৈজ্ঞানিক থেৰাপী আৰু মানসিক ৰোগ বিশেষজ্ঞৰ সহায় অন্তৰ্ভুক্ত থাকে।

যদি আপুনি আৰম্ভ কৰিবলৈ ঠাই বিচাৰি আছে, এই সহজ নিয়মটো মনত ৰাখিবঃ
✨ কাউন্সেলিং বৰ্তমান সামৰ্থ্যবান কৰি তোলে। থেৰাপি অতীতক সলনি কৰিবলৈ সহায় কৰে।

প্ৰশ্ন আছে নেকি? কমেণ্টত লিখক — মই সহায় কৰিবলৈ সদায় সাজু। 🌿

Counselling and Therapy are often used interchangeably — but they serve different purposes.
Understanding the difference can help you choose the right kind of support for your emotional well-being. 💛

🔹 Counselling helps you with present concerns — stress, confusion, decision-making, emotional overwhelm.
🔹 Therapy goes deeper — healing trauma, childhood wounds, attachment patterns, relationship issues, and long-standing mental health struggles.

At The MindScape, we integrate both approaches to offer a holistic, hybrid mental health service — combining evidence-based psychotherapy with psychiatric support as needed.

If you’ve been wondering where to begin, start with this simple rule:
✨ Counselling helps you cope with the present. Therapy helps you transform the past.

Men experience stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue — yet are often taught to stay silent.
This World Men’s Day, let’s normalize emotional honesty and remind every man that vulnerability is human, not gendered.
Your emotions are real. Your mental health deserves care.

🌈 Happy Children’s Day!
Today, let’s pause and celebrate not just the children around us, but also the Inner Child within each of us — the part that still seeks joy, safety, playfulness, validation, and unconditional love.

As adults, we often forget that our Inner Child carries our earliest experiences, unmet needs, and purest hopes. Honouring it is a powerful step toward healing, emotional resilience, and self-compassion. 💛

On this Children’s Day, give yourself permission to play, breathe, rest — and reconnect with the little you who still lives within.

At The MindScape, we believe that mental health begins with nurturing every part of ourselves — including the aspects we may have left behind while growing up.
Heal the inner child, empower the adult!
With love,
The MindScape Team 💙
