“I was initially very skeptical about therapy with Alan, since I had been through the therapy process with other therapists and it hadn’t helped me. I had a friend who found profound changes working with him, and despite her recommendation, I was closed to the idea for a long time. The opportunity came to me when I visited Goa on a personal trip, and had a chance conversation with him in person. It was to be a 15 mins talk, which translated into about a little over an hour! The way he responded patiently and navigated me through the questions I had, making me realize the contexts, left me touched, and I could then put my trust and give therapy a chance again!

When I look back to where I was before I started working with Alan, I am surprised at just how much noise I was living with inside my head. My mind felt like a web of super highways full of thoughts racing, overlapping, and pulling me in different directions. And I kept trying to help myself by reading, learning, and searching. But the more I tried, the worse it got. I became more confused and overwhelmed.

It’s been almost a year working with him, and things have changed in a way I never thought was possible. Alan has been very calm and patient with me, almost like a coach. He helped me learn how to slow down, observe my thoughts clearly, and deal with them instead of getting swept away into overthinking. I am able to pull myself out of that trap, almost immediately. I feel more grounded, present, and deeply connected to myself.

This inner clarity has started to touch every part of my life. Especially my relationships. And it’s nothing short of incredible!

On occasions where I once felt frustrated and distant, I now feel a sense of warmth, ease, and empathy I never thought I could experience. It still surprises me how different it feels now.

Today, I’m comfortable in my skin. I think better, feel better, and live with a sense of calm confidence that’s very new to me. Life’s challenges haven’t changed much. But the way I deal with them, definitely has!

Now since I understand myself better, I respond to things differently. And that has changed everything for me.

I’m so grateful to Alan for being the guiding light in the darkest phase of my life, and helping me reach this place of calm, peace, joy and clarity.”
