Dr. Abarna is a wonderful, kind, talented and humble ,person who I am glad to call a dear friend of mine. In the 10 years that I've known her, she has not only been a great friend to me, but has also played a pivotal role in guiding my daughter towards her goal. At the time, my daughter had a sudden change of mind and in her 12th grade. She told us she wanted to pursue MBBS. As parents, while we wanted to support her we were confused as to what to do since she had been preparing for engineering until that point of time. After speaking to Dr. Abarna, there was a newfound clarity and now with God's grace, my daughter is pursuing MBBS, which she got via the NEET examination. Once again I found myself in a similar position with my son in 11th grade, regarding his future plans, and it was Dr. Abarna who came to our aid. The counselling session was an amazing eye opener for all of us. It helped me understand my son better and he also learnt a lot about himself, his calibre, skill set etc . Her analytical skills were so helpful in narrowing down a path for him, that I even considered booking a career counselling session for myself, despite having been a doctor for 20 years! For this and so much more, I'd like to thank Dr. Abarna. God bless you and your family! Thank you.

I was in a state where I had trouble deciding on what to do after 12th. I was interested in a lot of field, but I was baffled. Then my mom told me about having a session with Abarna ma’am, and I instantly said yes, because I really needed someone to help me guide. And Abarna ma’am was wonderful..she really motivated me and made me realize a lot of stuff..and I also came to know a lot about me. I can’t thank her enough..my gratitude towards her is beyond enough ..I’m so glad that she helped me out from a messed up situation.

I was in a situation I which, I was extremely sad and disappointed about myself because of many factors around me. During that period, I met Dr.Abarna ma'am . I was going through soo many bad times and abarna ma'am was always with me to guide and support me. I lost all my self esteem during those times and she was the person who stood with me and took great care of me like a mother. She introduced me to telling positive affirmations and positive self talk. Since then, I use this technique for boosting my self confidence and to stay calm during different situations. I am always grateful to abarna ma'am and she is the most kind and sweet person to approach for any kind of help. Abarna ma'am is a helping hand for anyone who is in need of her.

I am a commerce student with average academic scores. Throughout my schooling, I have received humiliation from my family and teachers. Aparna Maam has been my school counsellor since I was in fifth grade.She always motivated me, focused on my positives, and raised my self esteem with every interaction I had with her. She always used to say how talented I was, my strength, etc. But still, I wasn't completely satisfied because I thought that it was in her nature to motivate and I had only negatives from the environment. Then I happened to take my career assessment with her. The report literally shocked me, as I found that's what Aparna Maam was telling me and encouraging me all these years. Now I am very confident and I love her web page, which gives loads of information on careers, universities etc. Thank you so much, ma'am, for all of your love and support.
