It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the University Counseling Centre. A university is not only a place for academic excellence but also a space for emotional growth, resilience, and holistic development.

Message from the University Counselor
Dear Friend,
College life can be exciting, overwhelming, confusing, and transformative, sometimes all at once. The Counseling space is designed to be a pause from that rush. It’s a space that belongs to you: where you can speak openly, sit in silence if you need to, untangle your thoughts, or simply breathe without pressure or judgment.
Therapy isn’t only for moments of crisis. It can be helpful when you’re feeling stressed, anxious, low, stuck, lonely, uncertain about relationships, questioning your identity, or trying to make sense of who you are becoming. It can also be a space for growth, to build self-awareness, strengthen boundaries, develop coping skills, and understand patterns that may be holding you back.
Reaching out can feel intimidating, but it’s also an act of self-care and strength. Whenever you’re ready, this space is here for you.

Client testimonials
Real stories from people who found healing and growth through our services
"Shubhangi's empathy and non judgmental approach permitted me to freely speak about bereavement, loneliness and failed relationships. She navigated complex conversations even when I sometimes questioned conventional psychological wisdom. In the process, I have benefited from clearer thinking and coping strategies too. I urge you to have faith in counselling in general, and Shubhangi's expertise in particular!"

I believe I have been able to work and find balance in a lot of different aspects of my lifestyle which was previously hard for me to do.

"I started my counseling sessions with the centre for anxiety and stress management. My counselor Ms. Shubhangi Pingulkar listened to me attentively and patiently since the very first session. Further, she helped me with various mental techniques to deal with anxiety and how to apply them in daily life.Her approach is very practical, which helped me develop different perspective towards the issues that were so difficult for me. These sessions really helped me navigate some of the most difficult times in my life."

"The experience was pretty good overall. I was dealing with my first heartbreak and Shubhangi ma'am really helped me understand, process and execute how to deal with my feelings & emotions. She really understood my situation and went deep into the underlying issues that kept me up at night, I no longer feel the symptoms that I had, initially before I took up these sessions. Her techniques also empower me to be calm & grounded during certain situations."

"I personally very much needed the treatment I'm receiving right now at the Counseling Centre by Shubhangi ma'am. I approached the Counseling Centre with no expectations, like one last attempt for seeking help. Believe it or not but just after the first session I saw a noticeable change within me, I had a realisation about myself which led to a chain-reaction of more realisations. It felt life changing and much needed. The upcoming sessions made me enthusiastic, 'what am I going to learn today about myself or anything'. My counselor helped me with my Anger issues aswell. Furthermore because of my counselor we also learnt that I might have ADHD, which I did get a official diagnosis from my doctor and now I'm on ADHD meds aswell. Truly I'm very grateful for what I have recieved."

"It was a very positive experience for me, my counselor was very helpful and caring at all times and always made me feel comfortable, even taking out extra time if I was really distressed. I feel that I have recieved helpful advice and practical support. Appointment booking is very easy and changes are also handled very well. I feel motivated to take help and am grateful to have recieved such help. My counselor helped me understand some theories that could be applied to my daily life and always made me look at things from a different point of view, pushing me to take up good habits and validating my pain through my low moments. DR, 21"
