A positive approach to life

So far I've had 4-5 sessions with Lalanthika. Best thing about her is, she observes. Empathizes with what I'm sharing and understand where I'm getting at and in a calm gesture, she will address each and every topic, I admire that. She is 100% present with me, when I'm sharing. Which makes me feel, I'm heard. And i appreciate her for being so understanding and give any suggestions from a fresh perspective.

Healing with Betterlyf and Ms.Lalantika

I came across BetterLYF on Instagram since I usually follow many mental health handles. After going through the therapist profiles, I felt it would be great to have Ms. Lalantika as my therapist because of the interest areas that were mentioned. And it was one of the best decisions I made. I had gone through a difficult time previously but now I understood with Lalantika's help, I can always ask for help, mend broken relationships and build a meaningful life. Lalantika helped me understand myself better and she was very patient. I could talk to her about everything and now I'm at a much better place. All thanks to Betterlyf and Ms.Lalantika.

Thanks to Lalantika and Betterlyf.

Betterlyf was my first experience with therapy. I was unhappy with my routine job. So I thought I would give a shot at therapy. I found Betterlyf through google search. The service was affordable and had multiple options like call, video, and mail.
My counselor was Lalantika. She was very professional. I felt much better after the first session itself. She gave a better perspective to look at my life. She followed up regularly to check how I was doing. I felt great after each session. Thanks to Lalantika and Betterlyf.

A positive experience

I sought out therapy when I was going through a particularly tough time in my life. Having gone to in-person therapy before, I wasn't exactly optimistic. But I was at the end of my rope and had to do something. Fortunately, the therapist I decided to connect to, Lalantika, changed the way I think about therapy. The most important quality a therapist can have, in my opinion, is empathy. I've found that Lalantika has been able to empathize with me while being objective. The support team is also pretty quick to respond. Overall, a positive experience.

I think I really saw myself grow into a more confident person, thanks to my counsellor, Ms Abhilasha. Finally seeking help from a professional goes a long way for one's personality development and mental health. And with the help of Betterlyf, and Ms Abhilasha, I was able to significantly improve my mental health so far.

Although I have had earlier exposure of the counselling sessions and privy to the methodology that goes into it. You always require a little push to the right direction from time to time.
As a human being our choices have always been intertwined between logic and emotions and you always need a help to separate these two attributes to gaze through the right perspective.
Inititally to be honest I was little apprehensive, however Shefali was utmost professional and patient in her approach towards my case. The lady has exhibited a genuine desire to help her clients. This was manifested during our first few sessions where I was made feel completely comfortable. The sessions were followed by reflective points which we focussed during our next interactions. Thereafter layer by layer each of my emotional quagmires were dealt with. Resultant, I felt i am in complete control of my situation and better equipped to handle it.
In the end let me also compliment the entire Betterlyf team for such a novel initiative. I am sanguine that it will continue to lend support to anyone who are in need.
Regards

Lalantika helped us at a time when we really needed it

My husband and I decided to turn to counselling to help us deal with some personal issues and both of us came out of it feeling a lot better about our relationship. Lalantika helped me at a more personal level and helped me realise how alot of issues that are coming up is because of expectations I have of myself. She was calm, very professional and helped us at a time when we really needed it. I wouldnt hesitate to go back to Lalantika in the future if the need arose.

I grateful that I stumbled upon their Website and got the help I needed. I have been dealing with Depression and Anxiety from a very long time to a point where my behaviour was becoming aggressive. My counselor Lalantika Venkatraman really helped me to sort my feelings out and to understand the process of overcoming it. I am progressing towards better mental and emotional health because of her approach and methods. I am really really thankful to Betterlyf for such an amazing platform.

I am glad I found and chose BetterLYF

I am glad I found and chose BetterLYF for the counseling. Amid emotional turmoil and struggle to come out of the cycles of never-ending thoughts and past traumas, BetterLYF handed me with a hope that I will sail through and be sorted. I would like to thank Sheefali who is my counselor giving me the required support and therapy. She is helping me get out the thoughts and situations pulling me back. She is a great listener who sounds so assuring and polite.

Thanks to BetterLYF team for helping so many of us!

Thank you Shahana

I am glad I reached out to BetterLYF when I was hitting a wall in my life. Just speaking to the counselor gave me the strength to sort out my issues on my own and helped me feel less overwhelmed and more empowered to make changes in my life. I am grateful for Shahana's ability to listen without any judgement and ask the right questions to open up different perspectives for me.

The BetterLYF appointment booking tool often has some technical issues due to which I faced errors 3-4 times while trying to book a session, would request BetterLYF to improve on this.

Really happy with the service

I love how easily accessible the betterlyf platform is. I wanted more clarity in my life. Since starting therapy, I have been able to do a lot better now. The easy flowing conversations I have with my counsellor Lalantika Venkatraman makes things seem easier to deal with. Her insightful remarks and doable solutions have helped me be less anxious and more participative in life. So far, I am really happy with the experience and would recommend therapy to anyone who feels too weighed down by past regrets and future worries.

Thank you Betterlyf

Thank you Betterlyf. It feels so good to be heard and understood. I’m glad I made the decision to approach Betterlyf when I did, I have been going through a tough time for a long time and finally decided to go for counselling it was one of the best decisions I made. It continues to help me immensely. My special thanks to lalantika who who very gently and reassuringly guides me to open up. She is a great counsellor and is patient with all that I have to say. She encourages me to find the strength within and build on that through my skills. It takes a skilful counsellor and a wonderful human being to do that. Thank you for your empathy and kindness lalantika 😊🌺🌸🌼
