Testimonials
From the first session with Neelima, I could finally speak my heart out to a patient listener without fear of being scrutinised. Of course, I am still a work in progress, but I have learnt to communicate my feelings better to people who matter rather than bottling them up as I used to. For any mental health issues, Neelima is your go-to person! She is an absolutely delightful, patient, queer-friendly, peer-reviewed psychiatrist who knows her subject inside out in theory and practice.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Neelima for a few months, and I can say that she is one of those rare individuals who not only understands me but wants to help in any way possible! Not just by giving advice or treatment — she cares about her patients' feelings/well-being. I feel so lucky to have found Neelima! She's helped me through some tough times, and I'm glad she is always there for me whenever I feel low.

In my experience, Neelima has been extraordinarily kind and patient with me while we've worked through this wholehearted mental health program of mine together! She's given her full attention to all aspects that need addressing for me to get back on track with my depression. So if you need someone who will listen without judgement and try their hardest to solve your problems, look no further than Neelima!
