“Every child deserves to be understood before being corrected.”
— Dr. Vini Jhariya
Share your child’s behaviour, emotional concern, learning difficulty, developmental issue, or family situation through the form, WhatsApp, or consultation request.
The concern is explored with care through history, observations, symptoms, school context, family patterns, and the child’s emotional needs.
Based on the concern, we guide you toward counselling, therapy, psychological assessment, parent guidance, or an intervention plan.
Progress is reviewed with follow-up sessions, home strategies, parent guidance, and practical support for everyday challenges.
You do not need to know the exact service or diagnosis first. Share your concern, and we will help you understand the right starting point.

Child behaviour support
“The assessment process gave us clarity about our child’s learning needs. Dr. Vini explained everything patiently and helped us understand the next steps without fear or confusion.”

Child taking too long to understand
Every teacher said Aryan was slow, and over time his parents began believing the same label.
What Dr. Vini Identified
A detailed cognitive assessment showed that Aryan was not slow. He was a visual learner in an auditory-heavy classroom system.
Progress
With a customised learning plan and parent training, Aryan started catching up within one term and is now in the top half of his class.
“The word slow should never have been used for our son. He just needed a different approach — and Dr. Vini found it.”
Child avoids writing
Priya avoided pencils, complained of hand pain, tore notebooks and had meltdowns before homework.
What Dr. Vini Identified
Assessment identified genuine writing difficulties, not drama or laziness.
Progress
With targeted intervention, occupational therapy guidance and school modifications, writing became less stressful.
“She used to cry every night before homework. Now she sits down and does it. That alone has changed our entire home.”

A reading and learning assessment revealed a specific reading difficulty that had been present for years.
Progress
Structured literacy intervention helped her make measurable progress within six weeks.
“She asked me to buy her a book last month. I cried in the bookshop. You have no idea what that meant to us.”
Poor concentration while studying
Rohan’s study time was exhausting. Two hours of effort covered what should have taken twenty minutes.
What Dr. Vini Identified
Assessment showed attention challenges along with performance anxiety.
Progress
Behavioural strategies, parent coaching and school guidance reduced study time to focused forty-minute sessions.
“We used to dread sitting down to study with him. Now he actually comes and asks us to help him.”
Specific learning disability assessment
Vikram’s parents were told by schools that he needed an SLD certificate, but nobody explained the process clearly.
What Dr. Vini Identified
A comprehensive SLD assessment covered reading, writing, mathematics, cognitive processing and attention.
Progress
The report helped the school provide accommodations and gave the family a clear intervention plan.
“We finally had answers. Not just a label — actual answers, and a plan.”
Gifted child mistaken for behaviour problem
Dhruv finished work quickly, asked advanced questions and disrupted class because he was bored.
What Dr. Vini Identified

Highly sensitive advanced learner
Ananya felt everything deeply and struggled with emotional intensity and high internal standards.
What Dr. Vini Identified

Assessment uncovered a specific learning disability along with significant test anxiety.

Anger, anxiety, fears, confidence, grief and self-control.
8 stories
Defiant behaviour
Sameer refused to follow rules at home and school and responded with ‘Main nahi karunga.’
What Dr. Vini Identified

Progress
Structured parent training changed communication patterns, and Sameer slowly began listening.
“Hum use badalna chahte the. Dr. Vini ne humein pehle khud ko badalne ke liye kaha.”
Impulse control difficulty
Karan was always loud, fast, impulsive and difficult for teachers and family to manage.
What Dr. Vini Identified
Assessment showed impulse control difficulties rather than bad parenting or bad character.
Progress
Behavioural therapy and home-school strategies helped him slowly learn to pause.
“He is still energetic — but now there is a brake in there somewhere.”
Cannot sit still
Aditya could not sit for meals, stories or classroom activities and was constantly moving.
What Dr. Vini Identified
Assessment revealed a sensory component behind his restlessness.
Progress
Sensory-based activities, behavioural strategies and parent training helped channel his energy.
“We stopped fighting his energy and started channelling it.”
Emotional dysregulation
Riya went from calm to screaming within seconds, and small triggers caused intense meltdowns.
What Dr. Vini Identified

Progress
Play-based therapy and regulation tools reduced the frequency, duration and intensity of meltdowns.
“She came home one day and told me she felt angry but decided not to shout.”
Childhood fears

What Dr. Vini Identified
Age-appropriate grief counselling helped him understand loss and express what he was carrying.
Progress
Slowly, his laughter returned and he began remembering his grandfather with love instead of only pain.
