This damit kalpanasuryakumaru is not fit for the counselor at all as she never listens to the client fully but assumes wrongly about the girls by her crooked mind. Specially she will hurt the feelings of females very badly with her nasty miuth who are affected by their in-laws very badly because she herself is an old cruelmind impotetic inlaw so people don't go to this consultancy as she cheats in the name of psychologist Ladies be aware of this fraud consultancy

I had the opportunity to learn Cognitive Behavioural Therapy under Dr. Surya Kumar at Manas Counseling Services. During the sessions, sir had illustrated various cases and related them with each CBT concepts making it easy to understand. He patiently clarified all my doubts and queries and motivated me to greater insightful learning throughout the training period.
