Sindhu Nandakumar is a consulting psychotherapist with a Master’s Degree in Counselling psychology.
She is the founder of Mindspa and COD. Mindspa is an online counselling portal aiming to provide social and individual counselling support to people from any part of the globe. COD focuses on providing counselling and mentoring support exclusively to families of children with special needs.
She is a certified practitioner of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), NLP (Neuro Linguistic programming), Hypnotherapy, REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral therapy), Forensic Healing, Addiction/ rehabilitation counselling and Child counselling. She is a member in the board of directors of IACP (International Association of counselling psychologists), an organization working for the welfare of counselling psychologists.
She perceives counselling as a great source of relief and comfort to help others through their tough times. She has witnessed her clients emerge calmer, more confident, more resilient and more peaceful after her counselling sessions just because they had someone there who understood and listened without judging.
Her journey into the world of psychology started with the realization that not even 2 % of the total population who needs help doesn’t comes up to a psychologist for help. This is basically due to the fear of self-exposure or the concern of what others might think if they are found visiting a psychologist.
This led to the launch of Svaastika, an online counselling site where anyone could seek mental help without revealing their identity. The website soon expanded into a NGO with chapters worldwide initiating the concept of well-being in not just mental health but also in varied spectrums of life. The panel of professionals that formed the advisory board in Svaastika urged her to pursue further studies into allied fields of mental health like Psychotherapies, energy healing and hypnosis finally designating her as a Psychotherapist.
Along with her career in psychological counselling she peruses her interest in creative writing, with a current record of more than 28 publications in English, Hindi & Malayalam.
Her written genre of publications includes novels, poems, short stories, business booklets and psychological handbooks.
To promote budding authors she established an online publishing house known as the Pens & Scrolls. Within a span of three years the publishing house made its mark as a global publishing house with the publication of four online magazines named Learn-Easy, E-Mag, and Live-long & Yaatri.
Along with Mindspa (an online counselling portal), COD (an online counselling portal to support families of children with special needs), Svaastika (an NGO initiating the concept of well-being) and Pens & Scrolls, she is also the founder of many other organizations like, B-zolutions (a multinational business consultancy) and Vlog-HD (an online media channel).
