VEENA SINHA
When I started my career 30+ years back, I was chasing success for self and for my children. On the way I lost my Mental Health and was on the verge of breakdown. That is when I started exploring, and stumbled upon the meaning of fulfilled life, a life of exuberance and a life where happiness came before success. I studied positive psychology, science of well-being and acquired coaching & counselling skills. Now my ambition is to encourage people around to live a fulfilled, exuberant , happy & successful life.
Principal Counselling Psychologist Veena Sinha (ICF ACC, MHFA & CBT Practitioner
5 steps of our counselling and coaching process:
To accomplish steps 1-5, we will need at least five, 40 minute sessions spread across 5 weeks.Rapport building / Chemistry session
Connection is the essence of counselling. This happens when the client feels that the counsellor genuinely cares about his/her well-being. Here the client finds respect & empathy. A safe environment is created here where clients feel comfortable to open up.
Agreeing on Desired Outcome
Agreeing on the problem statement & the Desired Outcome (DO): We gather information here in order to figure out what’s “really” going on so that we can derive the problem statement. We assess what needs to happen next in order to change the situation for the better or build up the client’s coping skills to better deal with this problem. What is desired? Is it a behavior change? Situation changes?
Identifying Root Cause
Find root cause of the problem : Identifying the root cause is a major step so that a permanent solution can be provided. Root cause will be identified through various CBT tools.
Set SMART Goals
Derive solutions using various CBT tools. Mutually Agreed Upon Goals and implementation plan : SMART goals will be agreed to meet the Desired Outcome. Various researches have established the fact that only when the client is in agreement with the goals & plan, will he/she take ownership, and follow through on them.
Endless Discovery
The implementation plan will be designed to prevent, intervene, or address unhealthy behavior and practices. The implementation plan identifies who will perform the activities, where the activities will occur, how frequently they will occur, how they will be carried out and when they will be carried out. Agree the number of sessions needed. Follow the plan patiently.

After our two sessions I already feel better equipped to deal with the difficulties, and I am now armed with my Negative Nanny button that my finger is hovering over. Just speaking to you and hearing your positivity was so refreshing, and I intend to carry that through to the start of the year. “What would Veena say to this?” is my new way to think more positively about things 😃.

“I am really thankful for the support you have provided over the past few weeks – life has been improving with the simple steps you have shared.”
Accept the mistakes you have made as it has made you a stronger person you are today – we are all humans and we need to forgive ourselves first.
Never compare yourself to others.
Don’t judge yourself on others parameters – everyone is moving at a different pace in their lives.
There are many more that have been quietly embedded in me and I practice them religiously 😊 and will be ever thankful to you. Thanks Veena!
