Certified Counsellor

Laxmi Lobo

I'm in the mental health field since 2005 working as an individual life counsellor and a hypnotherapist and a facilitator for several mental health intervention programmes.

I have a private practice and work as a consultant with psychiatric clinics and with NGO community organizations. (Experience details follow below.) 

I have co-facilitated programmes for NUSSD (Govt of India) and private corporations, hospitals and schools.

Experience of successful leadership roles in diverse industries and organizations helps me to have a world view.

As a counsellor and trainer I am able to be much more supportive of multi-faceted people.

Helping people realise their own potential working on interpersonal relationships has been the core of my life experience too.

Emotional management and life skills training comes to me naturally as I worked in various roles too.

I am an enthusiastic all-rounder, having worked in the Aviation Industry and also as a Community Brand Ambassador in the Swacha Bharat mission.

I have headed a Trade Union in the Public Sector successfully. I have also been a flourishing entrepreneur for several years.

My drive to unleash my full potential while continuing to engage with community and individuals is what started my journey towards mental health and well-being. I am a trained and qualified clinical hypnotherapist from the London School of Clinical Hypnosis and a counselling psychologist from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
