You don't have to face it alone.
Twenty years of sitting with people through anxiety, grief, conflict, and the ordinary weight of being alive — and helping them find their way through it, one conversation at a time.
A practice built on twenty years of listening.
From a newsroom counselling desk to a private clinic, to a practice now rooted in Pune.
Kalyani Tilak is a counselling psychologist with over twenty years of experience. A proud student of Prof. Medha Kumthekar, she holds a Master's in Counselling Psychology from the 2001 batch.
Her career began at Sakal Papers Pvt. Ltd., where she supported students navigating the pressure of board exams — work that shaped a lasting focus on stress and academic anxiety. She went on to run a private counselling clinic in Bangalore for twelve years, before returning to Pune, where she now practices.
Today, Kalyani offers counselling for behavioral problems, child psychology, marriage and family concerns, interpersonal relationships, and stress, anxiety, and depression — meeting each person with the same empathy that has shaped her career from the start.
"I believe no one should have to face their struggles alone — and that with the right support, healing and growth are always possible." — Kalyani Tilak
