She thoroughly understood my dislikes and likes and made it easier for me to choose a career path. Earlier I was very confused, after her guidance I was a little relaxed with the options she provided me. She is a very helpful and friendly counsellor. Highly recommended.

A friend asked me to meet Poonam as I was confused and not clear about the various career options available to a student opting for science after std 10th and interested in Biology and Chemistry .When I contacted Poonam she put my fears to rest .The counselling session was conducted in three parts on three different days.The first session was online and for a duration of about 40 minutes wherein Poonam spoke to my son to understand his interest in various subjects and what were his thoughts and plans for the future This session was then followed by a psychometric test . The psychometric test was followed by an offline session with Poonam . I appreciate the way Poonam made a Career Road map for my son and gave us very detailed idea about the various courses that were best suited for him along with a list of colleges offering the same .I truly appreciate the efforts taken by Poonam .She was very patient and ready to answer all our queries .I am thankful to Poonam for all the help rendered and would definitely recommend Poonam to anyone who is unsure about the various educational courses available and the choice of the right course

We came across Poonam when we were exploring options (education and career) for our child. It was a pleasure to see how she ran the process. She spent a fair bit of time understanding our teenager's interests and what he has done in and outside of school. She supplemented this with a psychometric test to elicit strengths and weaknesses. Post analysis, when she held a counselling session with us collectively, I felt that she had understood our child quite well. She provided various education and career options, some of which were expected but also others that we were not really aware of. She also helped chart out a plan for our child to achieve his goals. All in all a wonderful experience ... And one that I would recommend for any parent confused about how to proceed with selection of education and career options for their child.

It was a very detailed session with Poonam bringing in clarity that we required. We were a lot confused about what stream to choose for our son after 10th std. Thank you very much Poonam for those warm discussions and all your help giving us the route to move ahead. Narrowing down to the option that our child will be good at, was what we were looking for and your session helped with that.
