Ms Mona Jaruhar

Registered Counselor

“An experienced, trained and registered counsellor and psychotherapist, working with MANODARPAN, Govt of India, NCERT and CBSE schools Bangalore.”

About Me

Navigating school life can bring unique pressures for students, parents, and educators alike. As an experienced psychotherapist, I specialise in supporting well-being within educational settings. My work with MANODARPAN, NCERT, and CBSE schools in Bangalore offers deep insight into daily challenges. I help individuals develop practical ways to manage stress and build confidence. This ensures relevant, grounded support for navigating academic and emotional landscapes.

Approach

My experience in school settings shapes a practical, step-by-step way of working: sessions are structured, paced to the child or family's comfort, and focussed on immediate coping alongside longer-term understanding. In Bangalore I meet people in familiar, calm spaces and offer communication in English or Hindi/Urdu so families and students can express themselves clearly. Therapy often includes gentle assessment, creative tasks and short, doable exercises to try between meetings so learning carries into day-to-day life. This approach suits students, parents and educators seeking clear, usable tools.
