I try to make sure every client feels truly heard before anything else.
“When I’m with a client, the most important thing is that they feel truly heard, and that everything we discuss stays confidential. I don’t believe in imposing my own approach; I work with whatever each person’s situation actually calls for, whether that’s CBT, behaviour therapy, or something more personal like spirituality or interpersonal work. I build my practice on trust first, and let the method follow.”

Transformation Stories at BetterPlace!
The hardest part about getting treatment for mental health is that even when things start to get better, they don’t necessarily get easier. I find it difficult just to come for appointments. What I really appreciate is how understanding the team has always been about my struggle with these simple things. Knowing I can count on them has been a true blessing
Three other doctors had diagnosed me with ADHD in few minutes, which I always felt is very random. But Dr. Akul at BetterPlace suggested I get an assessment done first before sharing a diagnosis which made me feel more comfortable. I’m really happy doctor spent so much time with me, he is so senior and still. Test results also he explained so well
I had put on a lot of weight. Some people said maybe it’s an eating disorder but I was too ashamed to visit a doctor because judgment is always there. But a friend told me how non-judgmental BetterPlace is, and that is really true. Doctors are very good and even if i make a mistake they don’t say anything demotivating. Treatment is going amazing and i’m more relaxed
I’m a data analyst who believes in hard data. My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 13. We tried many doctors but she never clicked with any of them. She’s 20 now and I think we’ve finally found the right doctor. She seems comfortable. I am also much happier because I get regular reports and I can see how progress is happening and how my daughter is improving
When I told my friends I have anxiety they would always say, Arrey just relax, it’s not a big deal etc. Social anxiety people say is not a real problem. I also started thinking that and blaming myself. But at BetterPlace, doctor first explained why it happens. In my brain, in my heart, i got it and i could see, Oh, this is not my fault. I even went out for dinner after a long time. I felt nice
Because of dad’s schizophrenia, our family was always treated differently. People in public would stare at us if dad was acting out. Even our own relatives would avoid us. But thanks to the family therapy and support at BetterPlace, my mother, sister and I have found some peace as well. Even dad’s treatment is better. He’s taking his medicines more seriously. I am so grateful!

Dr. Pranita Gaur holds a Ph.D. and an M.Phil in Psychology, both from the University of Delhi. She spent over four decades teaching, including as Professor of Psychology at Mata Sundari College, University of Delhi, while practising for 26 years as a psychologist, including as Honorary Consultant Psychologist at Amarjyoti Rehabilitation & Research Centre and Consultant Psychologist at Delhi Psychiatric Centre and Shanti Mukand Hospital. She’s a member of the Delhi Psychiatric Society.
She draws on CBT and behaviour therapy, and adapts her approach, including spirituality and interpersonal therapy where it fits, based on what each client actually needs rather than a fixed method. Her focus is on listening closely, building trust, and working at the client’s pace rather than imposing her own agenda.
That’s alright, it happens more often than you’d think. If Dr. Pranita Gaur feels you’d benefit from additional support, she can help you explore that next step within BetterPlace’s collaborative care model, working alongside the in-house psychiatrist. It doesn’t mean therapy hasn’t worked, it just means your plan might do better with support from both sides.
Over her career, she built the psychology department at Mata Sundari College from the ground up and supervised two Ph.D. scholars, alongside numerous postgraduate and undergraduate research projects. Her research includes an NCERT-sponsored project on value orientations and conflict resolution, and a Delhi University innovation project on happiness among young adults, recognised as one of the best projects at the time. She’s published 15 research papers in national and international peer-reviewed journals and contributed to 3 book chapters on mental health, wellbeing, and applied psychology.
