Dr. Tanya, tell us about your professional background and the journey till here?

I am working as a counseling psychologist since 2013. I have 9 years of professional experience in this field. Currently, I am running my own counseling center “Shubhkamna Counseling and Life-skills Training Centre”. I am also associated with various online and offline counseling platforms. I have a lifetime membership of BCPA, CCI, and CSC.

My journey as a counselor started working with students of an Intercollege where I offered my counseling services free of cost. Then I offered my free counseling services at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University.

I am the first counseling psychologist in Uttar Pradesh who has offered stress management and anger management classes at Security Headquarter for the very first time. Counseling is my passion and my main motive is to remove the stigma related to mental health from society.

Now, I am offering my services as a counseling psychologist at Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group of Professional Colleges. This is the first institute of engineering and management that is going to offer the facility of psychological counseling to students, staff, and faculty members. In this respect, I am the first counseling psychologist who is going to offer her services in this position.

During this journey, I faced quite a several obstacles in creating awareness among people. Most people have a misconception that “I am not a mentally ill person, I don’t need counseling.”

 

 Why did you choose your profession as a counseling psychologist?

The main aim of my life is to achieve this goal of spreading awareness about mental health in society and to bring smiles to sad faces. I think that God has sent me in this world to reduce the suffering of mankind. That’s why I selected counseling as my profession.

 

How did Shubhkamna come into existence and the vision behind it?

The "Shubhkamna counseling and Life-skills Training Centre" came into existence in September 2018. The aim of "Shubhkamna" is to offer different types of counseling services in one place. We offer individual/group counseling sessions, relationship counseling, child counseling, stress management, anger management, life-skills training, career guidance, career coaching, and parental coaching to name a few.

Its motto is "Happiness Unlimited". After two years of the establishment of "Shubhkamna", I am happy to share that I am successfully performing my counseling services. The clients are sharing their positive feedback with me about their counseling experiences. 

Why do you think, in the times of Corona, your professional services are required more than ever before?

Yes, undoubtedly I have realized that the role of counselors was and is important during the corona pandemic. That is why, I have offered my free counseling services to the frontline workers, a family of the corona sufferers, and the corona patients as well.

I felt myself the richest person in the whole world because I have got their precious and priceless blessings that could not be earned by money. I have started my youtube channel to spread awareness regarding CORONA and to make people mentally strong to face the challenges during this difficult time. I am feeling happy to share that people appreciated my efforts.

 

Any Professional milestone you have achieved that has made a difference in your career growth?

I have earned my Ph.D. degree in Child and Adolescent Psychology from Lucknow University. I have also done GB certification in career counseling from the University, Singapore GCC Certification from the University of California, Los Angeles.

I have got Mahatma Gandhi Global Peace Award, 2020, Star India Super Women Award, 2020, International Award of Outstanding Life-skills Coaching, 2021.

All these degrees can be considered as a milestone for me that has made difference in my career growth.

 

Any suggestions you want to give to the new entrants in your field of the profession?

Yes, please select this noble profession of counseling only if you have a real passion to bring positive change into the life of others. Be honest about your profession.

This profession should not be selected only to earn money. Money can be earned through various professions but the main aim of counseling should be to help others emphatically.

 

Where do you want to see yourself in the next 5 years from now?

I want to see myself as a successful motivational speaker, career counselor, and counseling psychologist in the next 5 years from now. I want to make a big positive change in our society.

I aim to remove the stigma related to mental health in society and I truly believe that very soon people will treat counselors as real heroes. They will also receive that genuine respect that they deserve.
