FAQs (My Approach)

1. What makes your therapy approach different from other psychologists in Pune?
At Zill Botadkar, therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We combine evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Arts-Based Therapy (ABT), mindfulness, and emotional regulation with holistic healing methods such as Reiki and Bach Flower Therapy. This unique blend helps clients heal on emotional, mental, and spiritual levels — creating long-term growth and balance.


2. Who can benefit from your therapeutic approach?
Our integrative approach supports individuals of all ages facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, overthinking, relationship issues, autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and emotional regulation problems. Whether you’re an adult seeking self-growth or a parent looking for support for your child, our therapy methods are tailored to your specific needs.


3. How do you personalize each therapy session?
Every journey begins with a detailed assessment to understand your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences. Based on this, we curate a plan using the right mix of therapies — from talk therapy to expressive arts — ensuring every session feels personal, supportive, and effective for your emotional and mental wellness.


4. How does Arts-Based Therapy (ABT) help in healing?
Arts-Based Therapy allows you to express emotions that words can’t always capture. Through drawing, movement, music, and creative activities, clients can safely explore feelings, reduce stress, and build self-awareness. It’s especially powerful for children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with verbal communication or emotional release.


5. Do you also help with neurological or developmental conditions?
Yes. Our approach extends to individuals with neurological, learning, and developmental challenges such as autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing issues, or behavioral difficulties. We integrate therapy techniques with emotional and behavioral support to encourage communication, confidence, and regulation.


6. How soon can I expect to see results from therapy?
Every individual progresses differently, but many clients notice positive changes — such as emotional clarity, improved communication, and reduced stress — within the first few sessions. With consistency, deeper emotional and behavioral transformation happens over time.


7. What role do Reiki and Bach Flower Therapy play in your sessions?
These are complementary healing methods that work alongside traditional therapy. Reiki promotes relaxation and emotional balance, while Bach Flower Remedies help manage mood patterns and inner conflicts. Together, they support holistic healing — body, mind, and spirit.


8. Do you offer online or in-person counselling sessions in Pune?
Yes, we offer both online therapy sessions for clients across India and in-person counselling in Pune. This flexibility ensures you can access professional support wherever you feel most comfortable.


9. How do you measure progress in therapy?
We use a combination of goal setting, emotional feedback, self-assessment tools, and regular reflections. Progress is not just about symptom reduction but also about building resilience, healthier coping mechanisms, and a deeper sense of self-understanding.


10. Why should I choose Zill Botadkar for therapy?
Because you deserve a space that blends professional expertise, creative exploration, and compassionate understanding. At Zill Botadkar, we don’t just treat symptoms — we help you rediscover balance, confidence, and purpose through a personalized and holistic approach.
