“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you go; they merely determine where you start.”

Feeling run down and overwhelmed?
Preoccupied with difficult feelings and interactions?
Don’t feel like you are enough? you don’t belong?
Neglecting things that matter most?
Stuck in the same loop again?

It is possible to change and embrace newer ways of being and doing. It is possible to adapt and rise above uncertainties, transitions, and adversities.

WELCOME TO RESPAIR CLINIC

Hi! I am Dr. Vaisnvy Kapur

I am by training, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, from NIMHANS- a top Indian institute.

I love helping people feel heard, work through their issues, and overcome their struggles. I believe every person has the potential to change, find recovery, feel better, and live with strength, no matter what challenges they face or how overwhelmed or low on reserves they may feel.

Over 10+ years, I have worked with people with varied ages and backgrounds, from those feeling stressed to those with mental health challenges and diagnoses. I have helped them in therapy to make progress in their own ways.

Everyone has their own unique story, dreams, environments, needs, and struggles. Therapy is not only about fixing pain and repairing what is broken. It can also help people achieve greater productivity and experience vitality, satisfaction, reconciliation, and acceptance in their lives.

It is possible to improve your life, work, relationships, and endeavour towards a fuller life experience. I am here, to support you get through the trenches towards your goals.

While I bring professional insights with me, you know your life best, I see you as an expert by experience. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and vulnerable, but taking that first step is often the most courageous.

“What’s on your mind? I am here to listen, understand what is important to you, and help you with it.”

“I believe mental health care should be inclusive, ethical, scientifically informed, easy to access, culturally sensitive, and integrate lived experience.”

Your mental health is supported at Respair Clinic

STARTING PSYCHOTHERAPY

Your questions answered

When shall I know that it is time for me to seek therapy?

You get to decide if, when, over what, and how much you want to engage in therapy. Even if you feel that something is off and you might need help, it is good enough reason to consult. There is no need to wait for a crisis to hit you before trying therapy. You can reach out whenever you want to talk.

Some reasons why people seek psychotherapy are—to change something about themselves which may be hampering a good functional life, wanting to cope with symptoms of mental health conditions, to set and reach goals in life, to become better at dealing with their problems, for personal growth and better insight into themselves, to heal from experiences from the past which continue to affect the present etc. Sometimes, goals may not be clear to individuals seeking help and that is fine too (click here to read more on this).

Whatever be your reasons, you are welcome to talk to me.

How can therapy help me?

Therapy can be looked at as a way to get a jumpstart on your mental well-being. It can play a crucial role in equipping you to manage emotions and stress better, build more self-awareness and strength, to handle whatever comes your way in day-to-day life better, develop a stronger sense of self, to work on greater alignment between who you are inside and outside, and incorporate healthier ways to approach life.

The progress you make in therapy can also open the doors to greater reconciliation, acceptance, appreciation and fullness in your life.

Therapy asks for your commitment towards change, some time, emotional and financial effort. It is a way to prioritize your well-being.

When is therapy not recommended?

Psychotherapy is not recommended as the first or most effective step if you are facing acute crises (eg., active suicidality, or psychosis, mania, substance abuse and intoxication etc). More immediate and higher level of care such as residential treatment may be more helpful in such situations. During a crisis you may accordingly reach out to emergency at nearest hospital or call the Telemanas helpline at 14416 / 18008914416.

If you do not feel motivated to engage actively in therapy and are unwilling to change, then at this point psychotherapy may not be the right option for you.

How do I go about choosing a therapist for myself?

When finding a therapist, you could read up about them, see what qualifications they have, meet up for initial consultation, go with what feels right for you, and trust yourself.
Reading this article might help you understand more.

How can I, as a client, help make my therapy sessions more effective?

Here are some things that you can do to make your therapy work better for you-
Discuss your reasons for seeking help clearly and honestly.
Practice openness to new ways of thinking, feeling, doing, and being.
Ask questions, give feedback, and practice readiness to receiving feedback.
Take what is covered in the sessions and work on them in your day-to-day life.
Reflect and review your progress. Some people find journalling between therapy sessions helpful.
Be patient and kind with yourself – change takes time. Growth is not expected to be linear- many a time, there can be back and forth, ups and downs. Every step forward, no matter how small, counts. Each individual’s journey is different and results vary.
Therapy works best when client and therapist can work together collaboratively.

Please note, therapy is a serious commitment to change, not an instant fix, or shortcut to solutions. Feeling uncertain or nervous about starting therapy is common. You do not have to only look at it as a way to fix something broken or wrong. Through therapy you can choose how you want to be and live. Therapy may not always feel easy or very comfortable. You are invited to talk about it at your own pace. There will be moments of vulnerability. Your active engagement despite discomfort will be quite helpful.
