THE HAPPY LAB APPROACHLook beneath
Look beneath
the moment.
The argument about chores may also be about feeling unsupported. Saying yes to everyone may leave little room for your own needs. At Happy Lab, we explore what keeps repeating and what makes it difficult to respond differently. Our work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the Gottman Method, depending on your concerns and the counsellor you work with.

CLIENT EXPERIENCES
Real progress, in their words.
What clients have shared about their time at Happy Lab.
“I have been taking therapy sessions with Vandana, and I’m truly grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life. She has helped me work through several challenges with patience, understanding, and practical guidance. Her calm, non-judgmental approach made it easy for me to open up and feel heard. Every session has given me valuable insights and tools that I’ve been able to apply in my daily life. I genuinely feel more confident, self-aware, and emotionally stronger because of her support. She creates a safe and comfortable space where you feel understood and encouraged to grow. I would wholeheartedly recommend Vandana to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and supportive therapist.”

I urge everybody who has been wanting to get in touch with themselves and has been considering starting therapy to check out Happy Labs!”
Navya Shenoy“I consulted Geeta Mam for the first time a couple of months back when I was at my lowest. She was warm, understanding and practical. From then, she has helped me navigate and explore some of my hidden imperfections/ issues and guide me on how to overcome them. Would definitely recommend.”
Ravi Batra“It has been a truly wonderful experience attending my therapy sessions. They helped me understand myself better and gain clarity on why I behave the way I do. I was able to recognize patterns, reflect deeply, and learn more about myself along the way. This is a safe and supportive space to both learn and unlearn things, guiding you toward a calmer and more peaceful state of mental health. Vandana, my counsellor, is extremely experienced and compassionate, and her guidance played a huge role in my mental health journey.”
Siva Sankari“I’ve completed five sessions with Geeta and can already see a positive difference. She creates a safe, comfortable space that makes it easy to open up. I really value the healing prompts she shares, as they help me reflect deeply and stay aware between sessions. I’m looking forward to seeing even more growth ahead.”
