Testimonials
Vinay Swaminathan
Performance Coach
I came into the session with my heart broken; feeling miserable, overwhelmed…absolutely hopeless; and the way Divya assisted me in slowing down, helping me navigate using different tools and modalities along with her own intuition – it was masterful. She really made me feel held and there was no moment in the session where I felt any kind of “stuckness” – I have struggled with that in the past. In the session, I was able to shed the armour and conditioning of so many complex and deep layers and let them go as if it was nothing, and I actually reached a point where I felt like I now have access to safety and connection…I feel like I have accessed trust in myself and I am now ready for things to be different.
Right from healing my inner child, anchoring, giving me resources, doing away with limiting beliefs – there were so many complex things that she weaved together in a seamless manner – that’s the power she brings to the session: the ability to use all the different tools and modalities in her tool-box, each, to the level of mastery. I am immensely grateful. Thank you, Divya!

“I started therapy with Divya following a friend’s suggestion. I think it was a good decision to start therapy, in general, and more so with Divya. She was my first introduction to therapy and it was really good. I was not disappointed. She helped me deal with my emotions and focused specifically on things which I needed at that time. Talking to Divya feels like talking to a friend. Also, I feel pretty amazed by the way she remembers minute details about me without even writing it down. I have even recommended her to many friends and acquaintances. Thank you so much Divya for helping me work through my problems.”

“Divya is MAGIC! That is literally what I call her because after therapy, I am a different person. She is awesome and is always available for you. She gives homework that is doable and that will help you (I guarantee you that – provided you actually DO it). She follows a holistic approach and makes sure that you are feeling amazing overall!! She remembers literally everything that you tell her and actually makes you realize things that you didn’t even know! Divya, thank you for all your help!”

“Divya is an amazing person to talk to when you feel stuck, or things become tangled and complicated in your life. She is a great mentor and a wonderful therapist. I personally experienced the magic of her sessions during some training programs and workshops. Instead of advising, she helps you to see new perspectives, and draw your own conclusion. She makes the session so easy that you instantly feel connected and at ease. Divya holds this space for everyone regardless of age. She is a great motivator and wonderful guide who will help you explore new things in life.”

“I took hypnotherapy sessions from Divya. From the very first session, I found it to be positive. The positive affirmations that were given to me in various forms during all sessions were extremely strong and intense, so much so that they kept coming to me during the course of the day from time to time. It definitely was empowering and instilled hope. It instilled clarity in my mind. The sessions despite being intense were enjoyable. I looked forward to it each time. They did not take me away from reality but instead gave me a more positive outlook towards my current situation. The sessions were beneficial and there were some break-throughs.
Despite bringing up intense emotional experiences, Divya was very gentle. During these sessions, I learnt my lessons in the most gentle and enjoyable and enriching way. I am grateful to Divya for helping me go through this enlightening experience.”

“I came to Divya to overcome my fear of dogs. I was so scared of dogs that even if I saw a dog far away, I would just change my route. My husband loves dogs and I used to have constant nightmares that I am going to wake up one morning and discover he has brought a dog home!
My first session with Divya was so helpful. I noticed myself feeling less scared of dogs despite being aware of their presence. That evening, I was shocked to see myself sitting on a bench with three strays barely a few metres away. I also noticed that I am sleeping better at nights. Thank you for the experience. I had never felt like this before. I feel more confident when I am around dogs now.”

“I was skeptical of EFT. I had never heard of it. It seemed to me like a placebo, at first. When I met Divya, she gave me complete information about the technique and how it could benefit me. She was patient and available immediately in my period of crisis. This was something I had not seen in any therapist till then – someone genuinely caring about her client’s mental health. She is amongst the best therapists in the country! And while this may seem like an exaggeration, in no way am I exaggerating – for me, to make this claim, my sample size is indeed a lot for I have had more than my fair share of therapists in my whole life!
Therapy and EFT really helped me. I went to Divya many times during a year, and she helped me deal with all the curve-balls life threw my way. EFT has helped me have better coping mechanisms. I would highly recommend Divya.”

“There was a time when I felt so demoralized, so dejected and so left out that I considered just curling up and going into that undisturbed eternal sleep. However, that was not to be because I knew I had to stop wallowing in self-pity and come to terms with reality. I needed help and the first name that popped up in my mind was that of Divya. And it was to her that I turned to in my hour of despair. She was patient, listened to me and explained her healing technology. Being a cynic, I read up a lot of EFT before I tried it with her. What I had read and the session I took with her was a revelation. Unlike the many videos you see online, Divya puts her heart and soul into it and makes it a unique experience. She was patient, heard me out and never for a moment did that smile vanish from her face. I don’t know if it was the EFT that worked or the realization that there was someone who was willing to hear me out that made me see the sunshine yet again. Thanks Divya for being the eternal sunshine in my life. Go, spread the magic.”

“It’s been over 7 years since I consulted Divya, and I am immensely grateful to her for having been my first introduction to therapy. She has worked with me on various emotional and physical issues. In fact, she introduced me to EFT. One of the significant issues I worked on, with her, was on lack of clarity on a conflict I was facing She worked with me using EFT, pushing me at the right time to really help me get to the resolution. While I did find clarity, what surprised me greatly was that the power in my eyes went down by half in just 2-3 weeks. I had just got my eyesight checked right before I began my sessions with Divya, and even my doctor was surprised to see this change. One of the great things about Divya is that she helps you arrive at the solution yourself. Over the years, as my therapist, she has helped me evolve greatly and I am extremely grateful to Divya for opening the door for me to get in touch with my emotions. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to be a better version of themselves.”
Roopa Mehta
Psychotherapist
“My journey with Divya as my personal therapist has been a wholesome experience. Two things about her that strike me the most and what I loved about her was the ability to shake the whole tree, and doing so, she has the skill to reach the core – no doubt, skills are important, but along with that, there is this sixth sense to not play safe and when needed, she fearlessly pushed my boundaries, where the knots were hidden, and helped me with so many ‘aha’ recognitions that were so blind to me. This has helped me immensely in addressing my traumas and fears, and dip and begin trusting my original strength as a powerful resource. Only a therapist who has done her own innerwork can support another with gentle toughness. And another quality is her ability to reinvent herself ever so often thereby bringing around her an energy that is so alive and genuine. Thank you Divya! I would definitely recommend her undoubtedly.”

“I have consulted Divya at my lowest point and have done a few sessions on EFT and the Journey with her. I am extremely comfortable around her, and it’s very easy to open up to her with all my feelings. She is very genuine, funny, quick and extremely comforting at the same time. She does not let me wallow in my low thoughts and helps me shift and change my thoughts for the better. And the shift kind of sticks to you forever. She is someone who has helped me start my journey within and helped me love and accept myself completely.”

“I was hit by a series of life-events that left me emotionally drained and broken. It started in August 2016 with the end of a three-year-long marriage. I developed dependency on alcohol, and by the beginning of 2018, I was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease due to excessive alcohol consumption. My blood reports suggested that I was low on many vital minerals and vitamins. The distress was so overwhelming that I could not focus on work. I quit two jobs in a period of six months and soon found myself looking forward to nothing but hopelessness. I had lost the love of my life, my health was deteriorating, I was jobless and I had no source of income. I was always restless, imagining the worst outcomes, sleepless, and almost contemplating suicide. Psychiatrists prescribed high doses of antidepressants to me, but I did not want to rely on medications. A friend introduced me to Divya in November 2018. I started feeling a shift in my energy immediately after my first session with her over Skype. I have been undergoing therapy for six months, and I have seen a major shift in my energy. Divya has always been available and helped me overcome intrusive thoughts that I had almost everyday. Today, I have regained my confidence, started working again, and become self-reliant. There are days when I still feel low and restless, but I know how to deal with my feelings. All thanks to Divya, I am improving everyday and inching towards finding myself.”

“Having known Divya for almost 7 years now, if there is something I can vouch for is her authenticity and humility. Not only is she a fantastic Psychologist and Therapist with knowledge and expertise in various modalities, but she is one of the most kind-hearted people I know. She has an amazing ability to balance both her professional and personal life, and is also always open to learn and grow more without any ego. She is one of the inspirations behind me pushing myself and taking the pain to restudy from scratch, and get my Psychology degree. Kudos to all that you do! Keep inspiring!”
Saniya Bedi
The Vogue Therapist
“Divya Ma’am mentored me during my Masters’ program. When I say mentor, I truly mean it. She never came across as a professor who was unapproachable, but always as a friend with whom one could share all ups and downs, successes and failures. When she left, she wrote a letter for each one of us. Mine read that I could ask her for any support any time. We all say that, right? But very few truly abide by it…Four years post my Masters’, the only name that strikes me even today when I get stuck is hers. And her super-helping nature is a saviour always! I truly feel she is a mentor for life; for me, my saviour!”
Anushri Shah

“I have worked with Divya when I was at my lowest and worst. She has been a wonderful coach to me. Her empathy and sensitivity made me feel so comfortable. She has an extraordinary skill that helps with whatever is going on the surface and deep within that may not even be in our conscious awareness. She has really helped me gain control and decrease my anxiety. Thank you, Divya!”
Pooja

“I met Divya at a time when I was extremely lost and confused. After years of being hard on myself and attracting experiences that only taught me that, Divya was like a breath of fresh air who taught me to be easy on myself. It is from her that I became more accepting of not only the situations in my life, but also my idiosyncrasies. She is sharp and quick to catch onto even hidden details, and offers insights that are enlightening and encouraging. Thank You, Divya!”

“The Silver Lining Wellness Centre Pvt. Ltd. has really helped me change my perception of myself and the world around me. Divya has helped me realize my underlying potential like no one else and has helped me become more self-reliant. I have stopped letting things affect me as much as they did before and I’ve started practicing self-love which has brought in a lot of positive energy into my life. I’ve actually found the silver lining to it all.”

“Divya is a gifted therapist and practitioner. Her background as an educator aids her in having an expertise with youth, and in helping them navigate life-challenges with compassion and understanding. As Divya is one of our graduates, she re-attends many of our seminars as a Mentor helping others to transform. She is able to assess a situation quickly and steer client and practitioner in a manner that is empowering.”

“When I first heard about Divya’s incredible experience at the Journey seminar, I was thrilled for her. However, a part of me was sceptical. I went to Divya to receive a Journey session, and I would say that it was one of the most liberating experiences of my life. The process brought out long-strangled emotions which I didn’t even know were caging me and tears that I’d trapped for so many years just rolled uncontrollably. That one experience made me feel as if I’d got the keys to problems that I had thought could never be resolved. I took another session and I knew that I just had to be a part of this amazing process. I now know how to reach the root of my emotions, and I am thankful to her for making me a part of this beautiful journey.”
Esita Banik

“Before meeting Divya, I had little idea how therapy can help anyone. However, therapy helped me not just with my emotional issues and mental blocks, it was helpful for physical issues as well. I learnt about EFT from Divya. Under her guidance, my mother who’d been suffering from long-term knee pain, got immediate relief and her chronic back-pain reduced considerably over time.
Personally, I have received Journey sessions as well as EFT sessions from her, and she truly makes magic happen – be it some deep emotional knot that she effortlessly untangles, or discovering the unknown factors actually causing the problem. Her work is as powerful over Skype as the sessions I receive in-person. I never thought receiving therapy sessions could be a delightful experience! I actively recommend her to all my friends and family members because I know they’ll be in good hands.”
