“Counselling for individuals, couples, and families”

Verified by Kyan

About Sapna

I am a counselling psychologist, a relationship coach, and a trainer. Through Soothing Zen I meet individuals, couples, families, teens, and children, in person and online, in Gurugram. People come with anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, low mood, parenting questions, and changes in life.

I began as a teacher, school leader, and mentor. Close work with students, parents, and families showed me that emotional well-being is the foundation of a fulfilling life. I have over 20 years in education, counselling, and psychological support. My studies include applied psychology, a postgraduate diploma in the management of learning disability, and special education. I have worked in schools in special education, and I have conducted more than 800 workshops and training programmes. Over the years I saw how anxiety, relationship difficulties, unresolved emotions, self-doubt, and changes in life can weigh on people and on families. That is what led me to give my time to counselling and psychotherapy.

With me, seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It is a step towards self-awareness and a better quality of life. I use practical tools, and we go at a pace that leaves room for you to say what you can. You do not have to explain everything in the first meeting.

How Sapna works

The first session is a conversation about your concerns, your goals, and what you expect. You can ask how counselling works. You do not have to share everything at once.

I use techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy, with positive psychology, compassion-focused therapy, and mindfulness. For stress, I also use relaxation exercises. We work together. I do not give direct advice. I help you see what is happening, build practical coping skills, and choose steps that fit your values and goals.

You may come in person or online. We agree the kind of session: individual, couple, family, parent, teen, premarital, intimacy, or a short clarity call.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Sapna works.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions keep each other going. Together you notice the patterns that hold a problem in place and try out new ways of thinking and acting, often with small practical tasks between sessions. It is widely used for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy helps you make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. The focus is on what matters to you, and on taking steps in that direction even when things feel hard. It is used for stress, anxiety, low mood and long-term pain, among other things.

Positive psychology & positive psychotherapy

Positive psychology and positive psychotherapy look at strengths, resources and what makes life feel worthwhile, alongside the difficulties. Exercises such as noticing what goes well, or using your strengths in new ways, can support wellbeing. Positive psychotherapy also looks at problems in the context of a person’s culture and the balance of their life.

Compassion-focused therapy

Compassion-focused therapy was developed for people who are very hard on themselves or struggle with shame and self-criticism. It helps you build a kinder, more supportive inner voice, with exercises for both mind and body. The aim is to feel steadier inside yourself and better able to face difficulties.

Mindfulness-based therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy uses practices that train attention on the present moment, with openness rather than judgement. Noticing thoughts and feelings without being carried away by them can reduce stress and help break cycles of worry or low mood. Programmes such as MBSR and MBCT are well-known examples.
