Hello! I’m Neelima Kirane

Relational Psychologist

Hello, I am Neelima. A Relational Counsellor and a Professional Writer. I practise Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT). My journey towards understanding the depths of mind and intricacies of emotions began 15 years ago. For my Masters Degree, my research was in How children learn, Study skills and Parents’ help in studies. Obviously, then the focus of my counselling was on Parenting, behavioural problems of children, Learning patterns etc. Based on that experience, eventually, I developed workshops like “How to study fast & effective”, for students and  “Connecting with Children” for parents.

As an  enhancement to my counselling skills, I learnt Albert Ellis’ Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy.  REBT is in fact an approach that helps you identify irrational beliefs and negative thought patterns that may lead to emotional or behavioural issues. REBT also teaches how to modify those beliefs.  

After a few years of practising REBT on individuals and groups for variety of issues, I could locate some  common problem areas and developed a series of workshops like, “How to develop Emotional Awareness?”, “Breaking the Stress”, “How mind works?” etc.

These Interactions helped me understanding intricate needs of new generation which resulted into specially designed Pre-marital sessions, followed by workshops  for youths and couples like, “Friendship, Love, Breakup, Live-in, Marriage etc.” and “Couple Intimacy & How to handle differences”.

Clients’ Feedback

“I consulted Neelima mam for my educational and emotional issues. My experience with her was very helpful and I have always appreciated how comforting and understanding she has been throughout my therapy sessions. Apart from her empathetic nature she is one of the best therapists in Pune in my opinion.”

Mrigendra S.,
Student, Pune/Jabalpur

“We consulted Neelima Kirane mam for our marital problems. She helped us to understand the actual problems, realize misunderstandings between us. Her speciality is that, instead of giving ready solutions she made us find out our own solutions that have long lasting effects, we can use those techniques for new problems as well.”

The points discussed were really practical and as the implementation was also discussed, it was really helpful to bring it in daily routine. 3. Being a small number, we got a chance to express. 4. Experience and views of Neelima tai gave new approach of looking at parenting.”

“What I started after the workshop is to focus on Must, Should and Could. The session had many take always. What I realised is instead of focusing on all at once , getting habituated to one then picking up on 2nd and so on will be useful. There is a lot to unlearn for us as parents. And hence starting with baby steps.”
