Thankfully, we live in a day and age where therapy has shed the stigma of only being for ‘crazy’ people. And yet the outdated notion still persists that you have to feel awful or have a life that is in pieces to benefit from Counselling.
Most of us make the decision to go for therapy when there is something in our lives we want to address, whether that is a recent experience or a more long-standing difficulty. Sometimes these difficulties involve a feeling of prolonged and overwhelming sadness, emotional disturbances, and helplessness and hinders with daily functioning. They may also face issues with their families and loved ones. People might also involve in self-defeating behaviours that are harmful for the self or others or they might face problems with sexuality.
A Counselor or Psychotherapist provides support to people experiencing emotional difficulties by helping them to identify and work through their issues. Psychological Counselling or Therapy aims to enable clients to understand their feelings, and what makes them feel positive, anxious, or depressed. This can equip them to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way. Mental health professionals use therapeutic interventions and techniques to help people reach their own resolutions or develop strategies to address and remedy their concerns.
A therapist creates a safe environment and offers a neutral perspective for you to begin to unpack and finally deal with repressed emotions and experiences. Working with a therapist can be an incomparable opportunity to get to know you.
Therapy, despite the things you might have heard, is not at all about blaming others or feeling sorry for yourself. It’s about finding support and clarity to take total responsibility for the choices you have made, which means you can then have power to make better choices for your future.
Therapy can be a rich and life-changing experience and it is as unique as the match of client-therapist. Counselling is a great way to identify what is stopping you from feeling good about yourself and source new ways to grow your self-worth.
Therapy is wonderful for helping you get beneath what is going on and see the hidden reasons for your choices. Damaging behaviours are often connected to deep-seated beliefs we have about ourselves. Therapy helps you not only recognize these core beliefs but find ways to change them so that you are finally free to make better decisions.
If you are not feeling at peace with your life, if you are experiencing stress and anxiety that is overwhelming, or you just sense that having someone to talk to could affect real change in your life, then now is the right time to work with a therapist or counselor.
Life is not always easy and nobody has all of the answers, all of the time. Perhaps you’ve run out of strategies for how to deal with a life that increasingly feels out of control. Perhaps you aren’t even sure exactly why you feel stressed every day, but you just know that the sense of overwhelm is increasing.
The good news is that therapy isn’t just for those who feel sad, it’s also great for stress and anxiety, and a counselor can help you figure out the reasons behind any unexplained overwhelm as well help you make life choices that work better for you.
A great variety of strategies and types of solutions to your problem are available but the most important ingredient for effectiveness is that you and the therapist develop a positive, trusting, and respectful therapeutic relationship.
I had been very worried about an issue regarding my son. Initially I was wondering how the counseling would work. But, I found Piya Ma'am to be extremely professional and she immediately understood our problems. She is very patient and friendly. The first session itself was highly successful. I am really glad that I went to her. I will definitely be looking forward to continuing my sessions with her.

She is a wonderful person. I've only been on one visit, so I can't really say much. She knows how to get to the depth of things. Even though she is a little judgmental, I found her friendly enough to open up to. I just needed a vent, and she was thankfully available. One session was enough for me to know how to go about things from now own. Will surely recommend her to anyone suffering from any kind of stress.

Yesterday I visited Dr. Bannerjee at Grey Matters Wellness Clinic and really felt at peace with myself after a long long time. She listened to every bit of my problem very intently and helped me open up like I had never before, that too in the first session. She is a very friendly and non judgmental person. I'm looking forward to her next session and delve into this journey of self rediscovery in which she'll be my guidance. I thank her for trying to help me go back to my happy self.

I was afraid to go to a doctor as i thought i wont be able to open up and most importantly i wasnt confident enough if it would work or not. But i was proven wrong. She was extremely friendly and patient with me. I was satisfied with her treatment process and the way she explained to me everything sometimes even with a real life example. She helped me accept my mistake and grow a positive attitude towards negative things. Even in the near future whenever i’ll have a mental health issue i wont hesitate to go to her.

I visited for Anxiety Disorder Counselling, Sexual and Gender identity issues Dr. Bannerjee is one of those rare psychologists who are able to combine warmth and kindness with professional candour and insight. She really helped me cope better with my anxiety, and in just a couple of sessions I am feeling much calmer and in control. The great thing about Dr. Bannerjee is that she knows that just a session can't change your life: you have to make changes in how you think and approach everything and everyone. For this reason, her approach is fantastic because she gives you homework and direct suggestions on how to better cope with things as they stand. Dr. Bannerjee is also an LGBTQ affirming therapist and though I did not visit her regarding coming out/identity issues, I am certain that she would be a valuable and non-judgmental resource in that regard.

I have visited Piya Ma'am twice till now. On the first visit I couldn't open up much but her tips and guidance helped me get better and get a perspective on things and on the 2nd visit I was able to discuss my problems little better. The way she explained the situations was very helpful for me.

So, here I was, trying to figure out what was going wrong with me, when I stumbled upon Practo, & on searching for a psychologist (I didn't want a psychiatrist because I wanted counselling, not medication), I found out Grey Matters Wellness. Dr. Piya Banerjee has this earnest & friendly approach for which I could open up so comfortably even in the first session!! Though we still have a lot to work on, her advice, even from Day 1, seem to work wonders. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who thinks she/he needs someone to listen to them. P.S. She is strict about the homework she gives you! :D

Well everything was right still everything collapsed in me :) That's when I knew that I need someone to talk, TO SHARE. After seeing seeing in practo I book an appointment and that was one of the most correct decision I made in Life..!! The doctor is less like a doctor more like a friend .. It took time but 90%of my problems are resolved.. and still I am working on it.. The homeworks are really good(not like school homework :P) to get back you on track.. Lastly, just one thing to the lovely lady out there THANK YOU :)

I have avoided going to a psychologist since a long time as I always felt that I won't be able to open up in front of anyone. But Piya Banerjee proved me wrong. She was extremely friendly, patient and co-operative. She is one of those people who brings in a lot of positive vibe to the room. The best part was how she made me understand where my problem lies by breaking down and simplifying the situation I was in and made me feel that things aren't that bad. She advised (and not prescribe) me to take small steps in order to overcome my problem. Hence she was more like a friend and not like the scary image of a counselor that I had in mind. I feel better and confident about dealing with my problem after the very first session. And I'm looking forward to the next session.

She is an amazing therapist.I had a very bad phase of depression and she helped me to come out of it to a great extent and I feel alive again.I still go for therapy sessions and she helps me greatly to become better with more time by showing me the right directions of recovery.I would recommend her to anyone anyday.
Aprajito Sen
She explained to me each and every problem in a detailed way. She was much eager to know my problems, the approach never made me think that I shouldn't share anything with her. She actually gave me a lot of suggestions how to self independent. Thank you so much.

I was meeting Piya for the first time. However after the initial discussion I felt as if I know her for years. She was extremely patient & listened with interest. Her approach was extremely pragmatic. She dealt with one problem at a time & helped me understand what was priority & how do I deal with it. I would surely go back to her for further counselling sessions.

Piya is solution oriented and the betterment of her patients is what drives her. Empathic and compassionate, she will get to know you very well and then proceed. I’d recommend her to anyone who’s going through any emotional tumult they need help for.

I am very much satisfied with d treatment process. Not only treatment i am personally impressed by her views on life. She is so clear about her views. She is so friendly. She never gives u d decision. She always tries to find out the best from you. She will help you to know what you want and who you are. Her essence on life will make you refresh. You can deal with your problems very gently with the help of her. She will teach you how to fight against fear.

I started seeing her two months ago. The main reason I had visited her was because I was convinced that there was something fundamentally wrong with me. It took us two whole sessions for me to come around to accept the fact that I'm unique and there's nothing wrong with being the way I am. She helps me know myself better and gives me advice on dealing with other emotional problems. She's straightforward and very helpful. It was a good experience.

I was not sure what was happening with me, and eventually was losing confidence about myself. Met her after seeing her reviews over online. She is a very much friendly person and motivating also, made me take her through each and every small thing of my life, I haven’t ever met anyone with such patience level to listen to your problem. The first thing she told me (sorry to quote you Mam) “You don’t need medicine, you are a fighter and I will not letting you give up.” Thanks Priya!!! thanks for your support to make me start believing myself once again. Though a way to go, but I believe I can become a better person with you helping me. I strongly recommend her, she can change your believe and thought process about yourself even in one session. *** The bad part is HOMEWORK (she don’t care if you like to do it not, you are supposed to do it :)

Piya spends a quality time listening the problems, and unlike others she remembers all of them, which makes one very comfortable to open up and share all her issues. She helped me recognizing myself, and this is why I will always remember her. I know I am improving and shall be more confident about myself soon after another pair of sessions.

I have always been a shy guy. Uncomfortable with my feelings. Awkward to express them. She has given me the courage to speak out about my problems and face them. She is always so patient and understanding. I will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a therapist.

Piya was like the light at the end of tunnel for me! I went to her when I was battling anxiety, insomnia and was really out of sorts! A few sessions down the line and I was positive , sleeping better and getting back to normalcy! Piya is very easy to open up to, exudes positivity, non judgemental and not intimidating! I am ever so grateful to her for helping me get out of the dumps and back to the swing! Keep it up piya and god bless you!
