Pandemic Stress
At ManahPrabodh, we support in understanding and addressing the mental health needs of the individuals, who are awaiting results of COVID tests, confirmed COVID individuals, health care workers working in COVID hospitals and their family members. We aid these individuals in getting reliable information and alleviate their distress.
Online therapy became increasingly popular in 2020 as people sought professional help to deal with the emotional and mental consequences of the pandemic. Not only is online therapy far more accessible these days, but it has also proven to help those dealing with isolation, depression, anxiety, and even survivor’s guilt.
Online therapy is a great option for those who are unwilling or unable to leave the safety of home. It’s also a better option for those juggling multiple responsibilities, such as parenting, teaching, and remote work.
Some people might find it easier to open up to a therapist when they’re in the privacy and comfort of their own home. So, we provide Online Therapy. Online Therapy gives the client the flexibility to choose anonymity. You can also opt to just text with your therapist to keep your identity completely hidden or confidential.
Personal Stress
Most of us experience work stress, but too many responsibilities, unrealistic expectations, and personality conflicts at work can lead to an experience of trauma or victimization over time.
Companies have laid off people and expect those who remain to do more work for less pay. New performance measures are adding pressure, and employees are micromanaged. Stress related to new and unrealistic work performance expectations is also increasing. People who see me for support with work related issues and stress have complaints like insomnia, mood swings, binge eating, feelings of disappointment and worthlessness and confusion about why they are unable to meet the demands or expectations placed on them. Many also have physical issues like backpain, fatigue, headache and muscle tensions. To add on to the physical issues, they have family or relationship issues, feeling of isolation, ineffective coping issues.
At ManahProbodh we help you by polishing your coping and communication skills. We use various strategies from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) , Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We use different metaphors to instil meaning and purpose in your life which gives you a positive perspective of life. We enhance your skills and help you to learn to identify the thoughts that increase your anxiety and self-doubt. You are further supported to dispute these thoughts and check for reality and bring awareness of self. Relaxation techniques are also taught to help build the coping skills.
Thus, you not only are able to manage the stressful situation but are empowered enough to safeguard yourself from any self-defeating thoughts and instilling confidence.
Relationship Issue
You are unable to take up things from your family members. You feel there is no one understanding you or caring about you. You are excluded from your family decisions or you feel your view doesn’t matter. This and similar issues are addressed at ManahPrabodh. You might feel the need to talk to someone who can listen and not just preach.
You can freely share your views and feel heard. We understand that how you feel you’re doing at work impacts how you feel at home, that your relationship with your parents when you were young impacts how you identify with your role as a parent, and that often times problems within your marriage overlap with problems in your co-parenting. We will support you in better understanding yourself and insulating you from toxic environment. We will empower you to create a positive impact and influence the family environment effectively.
Relationship Counselling (Family Counselling or Couple Counselling) is different from individual counselling. In Relationship Counselling we focus on more on the patterns, dynamics, and environment of the systems the individuals are in. A relational therapist will tune into these various systems the individual is a part of to best understand how to make and sustain change.
Individual Counselling tends to have a narrow focus on the client. The issues that the client brings to the session are generally addressed. We understand that the individual cannot be understood in isolation. They become better versions of themselves when they are able to adapt and influence others around them with their positivity. We identify these dynamics and address their impacts.
Anxiety
What is worrying you?
We feel tensed when appearing for the exams, starting a new job or moving home. Some of use are affected more than others. Despite being normal experience, if these feelings are very strong or lasting for long time, it can be overwhelming
When a person is in a kind of danger, their brain perceives threats and instinctively prepares itself to either fight the danger or flight or flee from it. However, this instrictive response sometimes kicks in even in the absence of danger. This is when anxiety is experienced.
Anxiety can be normal in stressful situations such as public speaking or taking a test. Anxiety is only an indicator of underlying disease when feelings become excessive, all-consuming and interfere with daily living. Clients complain about too many thoughts coming to their mind. They are unable to stop this train of thoughts which speeds up. They are unable to sleep well. They are unable to take any decision or even focus on anything. They complain about fatigue.
We at ManahPrabodh help you stop the negative cycles such as these by breaking down things that make you feel bad or anxious. By making your problem more manageable using CBT techniques, we help you change your negative thought patterns and improve the way you feel.

Career Choices
Merely choosing the course doesn’t mean choosing your “Career”!!! True career planning involves careful study of the student’s abilities, interests and strengths and mapping these with the course which fosters the abilities and strengths. The course should also cater to the interests and values of the individual. We will help you through online counselling. It is the apt way to process and use technology.

We also provide strategies and tools which will help the person to develop his/her personality and lead a happy and fulfilling life. We help clients find purpose in life and foster skills for becoming better versions of themselves.
Career confusion is the growing trend among students. This confusion arises from too many career options. Another common reason for this confusion is lack of clarity or not well informed about various options that are available. One of the most common constraint in making career choices is the poor academic score or performance.
