Dr. Hirani was one of the most attentive and helpful human beings I have come across. She guided me through a difficult time in my life, unearthing some complex issues that caused anger and resentment in my relationships. One thing that always remains with me from our sessions is "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional". Thank you Dr. Hirani.

I've had a very positive experience with this psychologist. She is attentive and really listens to what you're saying, creating a comfortable and safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. Her questioning is insightful, guiding the conversation in a way that helps uncover deeper understanding and perspectives. Additionally, she recommends excellent reading materials that are relevant and beneficial for personal growth and understanding. Highly recommended for anyone seeking thoughtful and supportive psychological guidance.

My experience was quite disappointing. The initial session resembled a lecture more than a therapy session, primarily focusing on rudimentary concepts from "The Happiness Trap: Stop Struggling, Start Living," a book that was recommended for further reading post-session. I would advise others to consider saving both time and resources by directly exploring the book instead. Furthermore, I encountered issues regarding ethical conduct that unfortunately compounded my concerns, prompting me to seek assistance from a more qualified professional. The interaction was more detrimental than beneficial, leaving me in a position where I believe I would have been better off not engaging with her at all.

I regret our time together was not what you needed. I hope you find the help you want and deserve. Allow me to wish you well.

Can’t recommend Daksha Hirani enough. She is very warm, kind and professional. She helped me massively during a difficult time. She got to the root cause within the first few sessions. I now have a healthier relationship with myself and within marriage. Highly recommend!
