Testimonials

I approached Vidyaranya Counselling Center during a difficult phase of my life, when I was struggling with anxiety, depression, withdrawal from social situations, and a deep sense of emotional loss following a break-up. I also found myself feeling disconnected and disinterested in marriage alliances, which was concerning to both me and my family.
I want to sincerely thank Mrs. Archana Nanduri for providing a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where I could openly express my thoughts and emotions. She helped me identify underlying patterns, and guided me with practical strategies to slowly rebuild my confidence and emotional well-being.
