Condition
Depression
Low mood, low energy, and a loss of interest in things that used to matter.
Getting out of bed feels harder than it used to. Things you once enjoyed have lost their pull. You're tired even after sleeping, or sleep won't come at all. People keep asking if you're okay, and you're searching for an honest answer. These feelings are real, and they respond well to the right kind of support — depression is treatable, and reaching out is a strong first step. At Chaitanya Raj in Vashi & Belapur, Navi Mumbai, we support people through persistent low mood, mood disorders, and the broader emotional disconnection that often comes with them, led by Lt. Col. Rajesh Sharma (Retd), with over 25 years of experience in hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural approaches.
Common signs
How it works
Depression counselling begins with understanding your story — when things shifted, how it shows up for you day to day, and what's already helped, even a little. Your first session is a conversation at your own pace, exploring what's changed and when, and a collaborative look at what support could look like for you. From there, we use cognitive behavioural techniques and, where helpful, hypnotherapy, to work with the patterns keeping the low mood in place.
Depression Therapy
Depression can sit quietly beneath a functioning life — showing up for work, caring for family, while feeling flat inside. Depression therapy meets you at that level, working with the thought patterns, motivation, sleep, and energy that shape how you feel each day, understanding what's reinforcing the low mood and building small, achievable steps to reconnect with things that matter, tracked together session by session.
Mood Disorder Therapy
Some depression carries clear highs and lows, or moves alongside anxiety, irritability, or shifting energy. Recognising this pattern is the first step toward the right kind of care — understanding your specific mood pattern in detail, identifying what triggers shifts and when they tend to happen, and building a plan suited to that particular pattern.
Emotional Wellbeing
Support is valuable even without a clinical diagnosis attached. A general sense of feeling flat, disconnected, or stuck is worth exploring, and worth addressing. These sessions focus on reconnecting with what feels meaningful to you, building healthier daily rhythms and routines, and working through the life circumstances contributing to how you feel.
Our approach
Our approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and clinical hypnotherapy, shaped around your specific experience.
