Miss Uma Deo

Counselor

“Dedicated & compassionate school counsellor with 10+ years of professional experience. Eager to provide clients with positive direction for their emotional and academic and social well-being.”

About Me

With over ten years' experience, this dedicated school counsellor offers compassionate guidance. They support students towards positive emotional, academic, and social well-being. A safe space is offered for young people to openly explore concerns. Sessions focus on collaborative goal-setting and developing practical tools for daily challenges. This helps students build confidence and navigate school life effectively. Clients find a clearer path forward, fostering resilience and a stronger sense of direction.

Approach

Building on compassionate guidance, I focus on practical steps that help students manage emotions, behaviour and school pressures. Sessions in Pune—conducted in English, Hindi/Urdu, Marathi or French—feel calm, paced to each student's needs and grounded in clear goals. Short assessments and collaborative exercises clarify strengths, shape coping strategies and create homework-sized tasks to practise between meetings. Young people and families seeking steady, pragmatic support tend to find this approach helpful.
