Professional Referrals
It gives me great pleasure to mention my appreciation for the exceptional association of Mrs Anagha Joshi as the College Counsellor of Army Law College, Pune of Army Welfare Education Society in 2024-2025. As Registrar of the College, I have had the opportunity of overseeing Mrs Anagha Joshi’s work for the past two years. In my tenure, I have rarely encountered a professional who so seamlessly blends strategic college admissions knowledge with genuine care for student well-being.
Mrs Anagha Joshi has transformed the counseling of students . Rather than just managing paperwork, she implemented a proactive approach to guidance, focusing on holistic student development. Notably, she developed an "Interactive Group" workshop series that increased student engagement with the admission department & the administration.
One specific instance that highlights Counsellor's impact was during the placement cycle for the Class of 2024. A high-achieving student was struggling with extreme anxiety regarding career decision choices. Mrs Joshi not only provided empathetic support to the family but also worked closely with the student to pivot their strategy, resulting in a "best-fit" career option where that student is currently thriving. At many instances she transformed some students to develop self image & high esteem to emerge as positive role models in the Campus.
Mrs Anagha Joshi is a dedicated Psychologist who deeply understands the nuances of modern techniques in building positive self esteem and confidence in a child. Mrs Anagha Joshi has my highest recommendation. She will be an invaluable asset to any institution. I wish her the very best in her online counseling endeavour.

Hello everyone
I Mrs. Snehal Kulkarni, former Principal of P.Jog School would like to throw some light on the importance of counsellors in the school.
Counselling is important because it helps people understand their thoughts, emotions, and challenges in a healthy and supportive way. It provides guidance during difficult situations and helps improve emotional well-being, relationships, and decision-making.
Counselling is not only for serious problems. It can help anyone who wants clarity, emotional balance, or personal growth.

Child & Parents
My daughter is in fourth standard, and there are two other girls from her school living in our society who are very competitive. Those girls wouldn’t share anything, but my daughter always shared openly and would forget about things quickly. This difference made me feel irritated and worried. However, when we sought counselling, Mrs. Anagha Joshi helped me understand my daughter’s unique personality and strengths. I gained clarity on how to accept and nurture her without comparisons. Now I feel calmer, and we are happier supporting her in her own way.

After joining first year college, my daughter developed anxiety during lectures. Whenever a faculty member asked questions in class, she felt they were directed specifically at her. Over time, this fear increased, made her anxious about attending lectures.
On Dr. Oak's recommendation, we consulted Mrs. Anagha Joshi. Through counselling, my daughter was able to understand and work on the thought patterns and beliefs that were contributing to her anxiety. The sessions helped her gain confidence and manage her fears more effectively.
Today, she attends classes comfortably. We are grateful for the guidance and support she received.

"Our son was in 8th standard and although he was studying, he was finding it difficult to remember what he learned and was losing confidence in academics. After meeting Anagha Madam, he learned simple study techniques and better ways of planning his studies. Slowly we could see improvement in his concentration and confidence. He now approaches studies with much less fear and stress."

We are Mr. and Mrs. Dhokarikar. Our only son was pursuing his final-year internship and was living away from home for the first time. Unfortunately, he began experiencing anxiety and found it difficult to adjust to the new environment. Despite our best efforts to support and encourage him, he struggled to overcome his fears.
Seeking professional guidance, we consulted Mrs. Anjali Joshi through a reference. From our very first conversation, her calm and reassuring approach gave us confidence. She patiently understood the situation by speaking with both us and our son and provided practical techniques to help him overcome his fears.
We were amazed to see a positive change in his mindset after just one session. With her guidance and the tips she shared with us as parents, he gradually gained confidence and learned to manage his anxiety. Within just two sessions, we saw remarkable improvement.
Mrs. Joshi’s compassionate and effective approach was a great support to our family. We highly recommend her and wish her all the best in her new journey.

My son, Advay, showed remarkable progress while working with Mrs. Anagha Joshi. What stood out most was her focus on his overall development rather than addressing only individual concerns. She is patient, caring, understanding, and truly attentive to the needs of the child and family.
Her guidance was practical, encouraging, and tailored to support Advay's growth across different areas of development. We always felt supported throughout the process, and the positive changes we observed in him were very meaningful to us.
I highly recommend Mrs. Joshi to any family seeking professional, compassionate, and holistic support for their child.

– Parent of Manvi, (Sinhagad Road).
After the COVID period, my child was struggling with reading, writing, and academics. Since classes were online for almost two years, he was not able to focus properly and had missed many basic concepts. When regular school started, he found it difficult to cope with the classroom learning and gradually started losing confidence.
At that time, we came to know about Mrs. Anagha Joshi. We enrolled our child in her remedial program and continued for about a year. What I appreciated most was her focus on strengthening the basic concepts and addressing learning gaps from the root level. She patiently worked according to my child's pace and learning needs.
Today, my child is much more confident and is doing well academically. We are grateful for her support, guidance, and dedicated efforts.

As parents of twins, we often found ourselves comparing our children. Since both of them had very different behaviours, we were particularly concerned about one child who was quiet, calm, and less expressive compared to the other. This often made us wonder if something was wrong or if we were missing something important.
During our sessions with Mrs. Anagha Joshi, she helped us understand that every child develops and expresses themselves differently. She explained the individual strengths, temperament, and behavioural patterns of both our children, which gave us a much clearer perspective.
Today, we are more accepting of their differences and better able to support each child according to their unique needs. The guidance helped reduce our worries and brought greater understanding and harmony within our family. We are grateful for her support and insights.

As parents, we were becoming frustrated and didn't know how to handle the situation. Mrs. Anagha Joshi helped us understand the reasons behind his behaviour and guided us with practical strategies that we could use at home.
The guidance was realistic, supportive, and easy to follow. We are thankful for her help and would highly recommend her to parents facing similar challenges.

Observed a noticeable improvement in her adjustment. We appreciate the patience, understanding, and support provided throughout the process.

"I had so many relatives in different law fields, and I was confused about what to choose. Anagha ma’am helped me think through Plan A, B, and C, and I realized what I truly liked. She suggested I gain experience in an outside firm first. She said relatives see us differently when we’re new, but once we have experience, knowledge, and polish, they see us in a whole new light. That was something different, snd my parents gave me permission to work and stay outside, it was great thing in my life”.

Families & Relationship
I was in a relationship that had become emotionally exhausting for me. There were constant conflicts, emotional manipulation, and situations that left me feeling confused and unsure of myself. Even though I felt unhappy, I found it very difficult to decide whether I should continue the relationship or move on.
During counselling with Mrs. Anagha Joshi, I was able to openly discuss my thoughts and feelings without judgment. She helped me understand the dynamics of the relationship, look at the situation objectively, and consider the pros and cons carefully. Rather than telling me what decision to make, she encouraged me to think clearly and make a choice that was right for me.
The counselling process gave me clarity, and emotional strength. I am grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone facing relationship challenges.

"We used to have constant arguments over how to discipline our child and set house rules, which was creating a negative environment. After talking with Anagha Joshi, we understood our own behavior patterns and realized how our miscommunication or let go pattern was impacting our family. We gradually corrected our approach, aligned our parenting styles, and now handle both our relationship and our child with far more clarity and calmness."

"I came to you at a time when I was making major relationship decisions based on peer pressure and what my friends thought, rather than what was right for me. Your counseling made me think about myself, my expectation and readiness for the same. Through your practical guidance, I learned to break these patterns and make mature, independent decisions for my life. I am deeply grateful for the clarity and direction Anagha madam you provided."
