Mentally strong people take professional help to deal with anxiety, stress and fear because life is beautiful and we need to embrace it each moment....It has been an absolute joy in attending any session with Lugina Ma'am since I have been her student, for the professional technique she uses in counseling and for me REBT has been the icing on the cake ...whenever I feel stuck i have approached her and in her packed sessions she has made a point to attend to me....recently I was undergoing stress and that's what my family doctor said and I was wondering how because since I have done my counseling course in PGDGC with Lugina Ma'am at St Agnes College I have organized my life so well because I always felt stress was all about having debt and unorganization hence the worry was identity my stress which I had to because I was putting on weight ,not able to sleep, not feeling like getting out inspite being a professional and resisting through out.....
Lugina Ma'am took me through the REBT session, where I understood that deep down my belief was I am not good enough and no one loves me even though I was brought up in a loving family much more being a successful professional....it's been 2 days since then I have taken responsibility of my thoughts and don't let it get into negative feelings....thank you, thank you, thank you dear Lugina Ma'am because you learnt and taught us....God bless you and your team at You Matter to inspire more and more people like me to lead a meaningful life.

I am in the path of finding my inner self and often there were questions within as to what is right or wrong. It was during my sessions with Dr. Meena Lobo, I was made to realise how I was unkind on myself setting high expectations. I understood it's normal to have all type of emotions, accept me as I am and I shouldn't be too harsh on myself. This realisation has made a difference to my life.
Dr. Meena is an extremely humble, loving and soft spoken. I could open up myself to her without any hesitation. She is such a warm person.
I wish all the best to Youmatter

I am a strong woman and I knew I can deal with anything in life. Until one day life punched me so hard that I became like a tree cut from it's base. With no much hope, nor any wish, a dead log I had become.
During this dark time of my life I got to attend Lugina mams counseling. With her classroom sessions and personal counselling I was able to get hold on myself and it helped me heal.
Lugina mam has many years of experience in personal counseling and she has some effective therapies. With the opening of You matter there will be many more people who will benefit from Lugina mam and the excellent team of counsellors they have. Wishing You Matter all the very best.

Dear Dr.Meena,
I in a special way like to thank you Dr. Meena for your guidance to overcome my fears, beliefs and Stress. Indeed Dr Meena is a patient listener, where I could express freely my feelings and hurts. During my PCT, she worked on my fears and the progressive muscle relaxation exercise, I underwent with her guidance helped me build awareness of my muscle tension and release my STRESS levels. With your PCT along with the relaxation skills, I was able to overcome my fears, beliefs and STRESS. Thank you Dr. Meena for your fruitful sessions, guidance and for your utmost patience and your time that helped me to work on myself. I learnt to cope up with my stress levels and also to manage my routine household work, and office work effectively. Heartfelt thanks 😊 Dr Meena. God bless you for all your good works.

I met Chitra for counselling and it has benefitted me immensely. She’s very empathetic, understanding and a great listener. She’s very easy to talk to and I could just express myself freely with her and felt she could really understand my feelings and emotions very well. She also gave me few tools to explore my emotions and understand my family and environment better. She’s very friendly, thank you so much Chitra. I had some issues with my child’s behaviour and development and she’s been extremely helpful and instrumental in helping me understand him better. I’m so glad to have found her.

I would like to say , thank you so much, Chitralekha Ma'am. for just letting me be, during our sessions. It felt soothing, to just randomly talk whatever came to mind … I didn't attend the sessions with anything specific in mind , nevertheless, came out with a lot of clarity about so many aspects of life. Thank you, for your patience and time. I am glad and grateful to have found a mentor in you...

At a very disheartening situation in my life, I was introduced to Lugina Maam for counseling by one of my close friends. During my personal counseling sessions I discovered myself whom I had lost in the past years. Thank you Maam, for continuously listening to me time and again and bearing all my outbursts. I surely am in debt to you for bringing me out of whatever I was going through. I fall in short of words to express my deep gratitude to you for all that you have worked on me through all my sessions. Your individual counseling sessions have really done wonders to my mind and my body. I have started to re discover myself. You made me feel very comfortable and confident to be in your care. Maam, once again thanks for your timely guidance and non-stop efforts in believing in me and getting me back on my feet from where I was.

It was a time when I was feeling like a lost child, where I had felt difficult to connect to myself, despite of being a outspoken,a bold and confident person I used to be. I recognised that, I was going through a rough phase where, I needed to talk it out to some one trust worthy and good at listening , ofcourse the professional.
Lugina ma'am came to my life as blessing in disguise, probably I believe that universe had manifested what I wished for. The kind of approach I recieved at that stage is commendable as she was the first person to reflect what I was going through and it got synced to my understanding of the problem. That session made me give it a thought to know the importance of the PGDGC course for self understanding and deal with different scenarios with people we come across in life. Also how to get rid of the indoctrination and conditioning we have. Some times we know what is not right, but still we won't be knowing how to deal with it. Self help books can help to some extent yet a live examples and practical sessions with professionals will make lot of difference.
When it comes to REBT, it have helped me immensely, during the session which i didnot know earlier. As and when we had that practical session part of our syllabus of PGDGC which made me look back as in the session which I had with ma'am, and then i realised and started focusing and working on my self.
Everything seems like falling into place now, when I know life is filled with mixed blessings knowing to accept and then to face is what makes it more hopeful and interesting.
In two sentence if I have to sum up,
Ma'am I owe you a lot. Thanks tons for saving me.

I was going through a lot of personal and professional conflicts within myself due to which I was unable to take any decision s in my life. Which had further given rise to a lot of confusions. My counselling sessions with Dr. Meena Maam has helped me overcome all these confusions and I started believing in myself. The REBT therapy was so helpful which made me think rationally by which I overcame my past fear of professional experiences. At present I feel more calm and relaxed and in a happy space. All thanks to you Meena maam. Thank you for being so patient with me and listening to me so Empathetically.

Beloved Dr. Meena Ma'am ,
My experience of sessions with you was very beneficial and it opened the various dimensions within to many possibilities I could have
It made me feel richer, more powerful within !
When you asked me to think rationally for a particular situation or so many ways and alternatives to look at it
It made me feel so light plus felt power over my mind which also made me realise living with awareness just eases up any situation so no more storage in subconscious mind
Your undivided attention, listening with deep empathy made me heal in various ways
I am extremely grateful to you Meena Ma'am to have counselled by you and to have met you!
Your presence is so graceful, extremely respectful to whatsoever brought in front of you made me see a very beautiful compassionate person in you every time! Your wisdom has always enchanted and encouraged me in so many ways!
Thank you for being you !

Till College, life seemed very smooth and easy. Once I started working and had more responsibility along with having to deal with various types of people, this lead to lot of anxiety and stress issues. This inturn effected my relationship with family and friends. And, this was going on in a loop.
I had to end this somehow, that is when I decided to reach out to Lugina Ma'am. She listened to me very patiently understood what I have been going through. She helped me figure out on things where I need to focus. Her guidance and suggestions have helped me so much in overcoming anxiety and stress issues.
I took her inputs seriously and worked on myself. Ever since I have spoken to her my life has changed so much and I am in a much better and happier phase mentally which has made my life easy.
Thank you Lugina Ma'am!

Mrs.Lugina used therapy to help me resolve my anger issues with my uncle.
My sincere thanks to her.🙏🙏

Lugina ma'am is a game changer of my life. It was a period of my life where I was inferior, not being able to trust and have a healthy relationship with anyone. I am not able to put in words the pain I was going through in life. That's when one of my well wishers suggested me to meet ma'am and there I was. You never feel a fear of judgment when you share your thoughts with her. Her skills are unique. In fact she helped me to unfold few instances from my childhood which was surprisingly the root cause of my pain. If I ever meet a unguided person, without second thought I will suggest them to approach Lugina ma'am. She will always be my go to person forever. I genuinely owe her a lot. She is "The Best".

I was facing issues with my self esteem and after I was unable to cope with a broken relationship.
I have gone to Lugina maam several times before. It has proved to be extremely beneficial to me since after each session I had a very fresh and rational perspective about things. She would listen to me without any judgements or advice. It made a huge difference and has helped me believe in myself and live each day to the fullest.

I had dizziness sometimes and a fear gripped me that I would lose balance and fall. That fear led me to anxiety always. So I started going to Lugina ma'am for counselling. After about 10 sessions of counselling I realized that I was over thinking and my negative thoughts were leading to anxiety and unnecessary stress. She suggested some good breathing exercises too together with counselling.
I thank Lugina ma'am for her help and counselling techniques to bring me back to normal.

Well, there are counsellors who just counsel and then there are people like Lugina Mam, who touch lives and bring about a positive change in an individual and one such individual is me. I would not want to elaborate much on my case, but want to let know that my sessions with her have helped me a great deal in believing in myself and building a strong self esteem and understanding relationships better. I would always be greatful to her
