Warm, confidential support for women, mothers, adolescents and families from Bhavna Parmar, MSW, a medical social worker and counsellor.
સખી — તમારી સાથે, દરેક પગલે 🌿

I am Bhavna Parmar, a medical social worker and counsellor with a Master of Social Work and a Diploma in Clinical Nutrition. My work has centred on women, mothers and children, and I started Sakhi so that anyone in our community can talk openly about what they are going through without fear of judgement.
Whether you are dealing with stress, a big change in your family, a new pregnancy or a teenager who seems far away, you will get a patient listener here and practical steps forward, in Gujarati, Hindi or English.
— Bhavna
Five focused areas, each shaped around the people I have worked with most closely.
A calm space to work through stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and overthinking, and to learn tools you can use every day.
Support before and after birth: pregnancy worries, postpartum emotions, bonding with your baby and finding yourself again.
Guidance for teenagers on exam pressure, friendships, confidence, screen habits and the changes of growing up.
Rebuild understanding at home. We work on communication, conflict, parenting and in-law relationships together or one-to-one.
Guided by a Diploma in Clinical Nutrition: practical, affordable diet plans for women, pregnancy, growing children and families, because the mind and body heal together.
Call, WhatsApp or send the form. A short message is enough.
We talk about what brings you here, with no pressure and no judgement.
Together we set goals and decide how often to meet, in person or online.
Regular sessions and small steps build lasting change.
Choose what feels most comfortable for you.
Private one-to-one sessions at our centre in Vansda, in a quiet and welcoming room.
Secure video sessions on Google Meet or Zoom from the comfort of your home, anywhere.
Sessions on parenting, stress, family relationships and adolescent guidance for schools, NGOs and women's groups.
“Every person deserves to be listened to, not judged. Here, your feelings are safe.”

Yes. What you share stays between you and your counsellor. The only exception is if someone's safety is at serious risk, and even then we will talk it through with you first.
A session usually lasts 45–60 minutes. The first one is a little more relaxed so we can understand your needs.
No. You can meet in person in Vansda or have sessions online on Google Meet or Zoom, whichever you prefer.
