Sir is super experienced and he understands the cases very quickly. I like that he provides inputs based on his knowledge and expertise about what to ask while taking history. On the other hand, I personally feel a little lost after his feedback. I know have only heard one session. I am not sure if he follows a diagnosis based approach, but I would personally find that a lot easier to work with. Yes, I’m sure I would get to learn a lot of things if I continue to attend the sessions. And a massive thank you to sir for helping us out.

The moderator is appreciative, motivating, kind and has a good understanding of the case. He has the foresight. However, he is driven by psychoanalytic and individual psychology more than cognitive and behavioural. Overall his kind and encouraging and isn’t challenging.

Very insightful sessions with Suresh sir. I got to know cases from a psychoanalytic point of view as well. He gives suggestions on future treatment approach and plans which gives a lot of clarity.

Ayushi Shah

Psychologist

I attended case discussions with Dr Suresh sir and I found them very informative. He was good at grasping the information and helps us to gain insights from the same. The sessions were insightful. He also understands our viewpoint and provides direction and suggestions on how to go further with the client. As an undergraduate, the session was really helpful to get a handful of information about the process and direction of therapy with the supervision of Dr Suresh sir. His massive experience has really helped us in understanding and discussing the cases.
