Tree of Life - Centre for Counseling & Therapy

Counseling Center

“Tree of Life - Centre for Counseling & Therapy was founded by Ms Teresa Wilfred”

About Us

We are a mental health organization based in Jakkur PO, Karnataka, India. We provide counseling, child psychological and diagnostic assessment, coaching, and crisis counseling. We deliver straightforward, confidential care for individuals and families seeking practical support.

Approach

From our founding, the emphasis is on how change happens in everyday life. In Bangalore and online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, sessions feel practical and paced: we listen first, map immediate concerns, and then work together on small, doable steps that build safety and skill. Therapy often blends focused conversation with simple in-between practices, and we keep progress measurable and revisited each meeting. People seeking clear, respectful support for themselves or their families usually find this approach helpful.
