Sunita

Dr Sunita Advani

Family Therapist

An experienced counselor dealing with relationship issues, parenting issues, self-esteem issues, marriage issues. Also lifestyle and antenatal coach.

About Me

I support individuals and families navigating relationship, parenting, and marriage challenges. My experience also extends to strengthening self-esteem and offering lifestyle and antenatal coaching. I provide a calm space to explore difficult issues, helping you develop practical strategies. This blend of therapeutic insight and coaching guidance is ideal for navigating life's transitions and fostering relational growth.

Approach

When people and families arrive feeling stuck, I focus on practical steps that reconnect patterns and choices to everyday life and relationships. Sessions in Pune or online, held in English, Hindi/Urdu or Marathi, move at a steady, conversational pace with space for reflection. I map routines, communication habits and emotional triggers, set small experiments between meetings, and draw on gentle breath and movement informed by Ayurvedic and yoga perspectives when helpful. This way of working suits couples and parents seeking clear, usable change and calmer daily rhythms.
