A space for honest conversations, reflection, and growth.
Healing Counselling Center was created from a simple belief: people often need a place where they can speak openly, feel understood, and make sense of what they are going through.
Sonal Pujari Kotian
Founder | Counselling Psychologist
Sonal holds a Master’s degree in Psychology and has over 10+ years of experience in the field of psychology and counselling.
She began her professional journey at the age of 22 with an NGO, working with people from varied backgrounds, including survivors of rape and sexual assault, students, and older adults. Her work later expanded across training and counselling, school counselling for nearly two and a half years, corporate counselling for approximately two and a half years, and support for individuals living with chronic health conditions.
These experiences have shaped an approach that is compassionate, practical, individualized, and grounded in the belief that no two people experience life in the same way.

Counselling was never simply a profession.
For Sonal, counselling was never simply a profession. It was something she felt drawn to from a young age — a desire to understand people, support them through difficult moments, and contribute meaningfully to their lives.
Over the years, one thing became increasingly clear: many people are not looking for someone to immediately fix their problems. Often, they are looking for a place where they can speak openly, feel understood, and make sense of what they are going through.
Healing Counselling Center was created from that idea — a space for honest conversations, emotional support, self-understanding, reflection, healing, and personal growth.
Sometimes, healing begins with one conversation, one safe space, and one person who truly listens.
