Teen & Young Adult Counselling — Online, worldwideGrowing up today is genuinely hard. Not a phase.
Academic pressure, social anxiety, identity, digital stress, and life transitions. Dr. Priya has 10+ years working with young people across IISER Bhopal, KVs, Army Public Schools, and Ahmedabad University.
Not like talking to a teacher or parent. And completely different from an app.
Young people don’t open up when they feel assessed. Dr. Priya creates a space that is completely non-judgmental, private from parents, and genuinely curious about the person — not the problem label. She understands the specific pressures of the Indian educational context, parental expectations, and the social dynamics of this age group, having worked at IISER Bhopal, KVs, Army Public Schools, and Ahmedabad University. Sessions are 60 minutes and confidential; parents can be met separately with the young person’s consent.
Academic pressure
Exam anxiety, performance pressure, fear of failure, and the constant comparison to peers.
Social anxiety
Difficulty in social situations, fear of judgment, isolation, and peer relationship challenges.
Screen & digital anxiety
Social media comparison, FOMO, gaming dependency, and the anxiety that comes from being always connected.
Career & future anxiety
Confusion about path, fear of choosing wrong, and the weight of expectations from family and society.
Identity & self-worth
Who am I, and am I enough? Questions about self, belonging and worth that have no easy answers.
Life transitions
Leaving school, moving cities, starting college, a first job. Change arriving faster than you can process it.
