Teacher’s Training“Anything human is mentionable, and anything mentionable can
be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they
become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and
less scary.”

Healing Journeys
My partner and I started therapy with Deepak in December 2020, and it’s been really lovely, he’s been the most queer affirmative counsellor we’ve been to and he makes sure the sessions don’t get to heavy, always dotting them with anecdotes and stories. He explains concepts very fluidly. He brings his sense of humour and self into therapy, which makes it fun.
Working with Deepak has been extremely useful and enjoyable. He is very dedicated to his patients and always ensure to make additional research for resources on a topic you discussed. He always brings a very research-based point of view, I personally enjoy having a scientific background behind the topic being discussed, and he always provides it, along with examples and anecdotes which is great and really help you reframe your thoughts.
Deepak is not only a very patient listener but is also very unbiased and honest as well, which I think are imperative qualities of a good therapist. He immediately builds a connect with you! I’ve known Deepak for almost 4 years now and not once have I felt that my sessions with him were not helpful. He has a very kind manner with which he understands and then guides you towards the solution. It is with his help that I have been able to manage my anxiety better and have a more productive lifestyle.
Deepak is an exceptional therapist, he’s honest, attentive, analytic, empathetic, flexible, patient and very professional which made me feel I had a safe space to face my truest and deepest feelings. This was a life-changing experience that gave me a new perspective on the past, the present and hope for the future. I highly recommend him to everyone!
I am seeking Deepak’s consultancy regarding my erotic orientation. The best thing about him is being honest and ethical about his profession. The way he clarifies and sets the goals provides a direction to the person.
After years of trying different counsellors Deepak was the perfect fit for me. He takes a non-judgmental and compassionate approach that provided me with a safe space to openly explore my thought patterns and behaviour. Deepak was able to share strategies and techniques to achieve my desired outcomes in a clear, simple, and relatable way. He was responsive to my needs or requests for any given session. It was important to me that Deepak is extremely knowledgeable of the scientific evidence and theories that supported all the work we did together.
