Heart-Mind Consultancy provides personalized psychological counseling for individuals experiencing emotional and mental health difficulties. Our counseling sessions, each lasting around 45 minutes, are designed to offer a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The focus of our counseling is both emotional support and solution-focused therapy. We address issues such as anxiety, stress, insomnia, relationship problems, and feelings of hopelessness, among others. Clients also learn practical coping techniques, including guided exercises and therapy methods to help them manage emotional distress. Counseling sessions are available by appointment, with flexible scheduling on weekends and evenings. For individuals unable to visit the center, we also offer home-based care on a need basis.
To further support the community’s mental health needs, Heart-Mind Consultancy is preparing to launch an Outpatient Department (OPD) clinic dedicated to mental health treatment. This facility will offer integrated services including psychiatric consultations, psychological assessments, medication support, and therapeutic interventions under one roof. Our goal is to provide accessible and professional care to individuals experiencing psychological distress and help bridge the gap between diagnosis and recovery. The clinic will also serve as a referral hub for individuals who require specialized rehabilitation care, ensuring they receive timely and appropriate treatment.
Our comprehensive 780-hour psychosocial counseling training is accredited by the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT). This long-term program equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to become certified psychosocial counselors. Through a structured curriculum that covers counseling theories, crisis intervention, mental health assessments, and ethical practices, trainees learn how to identify and address psychosocial issues in individuals and communities. Training is conducted in both physical and online formats, with daily two-hour sessions, making it accessible for aspiring counselors across different regions.
This specialized TOT program is designed for psychosocial professionals, educators, health workers, and community leaders who want to learn and teach Psychological First Aid (PFA). Based on the WHO guidelines and national manuals, this training empowers participants to respond effectively during crises, natural disasters, or traumatic events. The training emphasizes calming distressed individuals, active listening, assessing needs, and preventing further psychological harm. Participants also learn to organize PFA sessions within their own communities, making this training a powerful tool for scaling mental health support across various sectors. The program is offered both in-person over three days or online over three weeks.
Heart-Mind Consultancy offers a six-day intensive training designed to strengthen the mental health capacity of teachers, government staff, social workers, and local leaders. This training provides essential knowledge on psychosocial well-being, helping participants understand the signs of psychological distress, offer basic support, and make appropriate referrals for professional help. Delivered in a 36-hour format (10 AM to 4 PM daily), this program is built on the Nepal Government’s National Health Training Center curriculum. It’s ideal for individuals in positions of community influence who want to become mental health advocates in their local areas.
Our Community Psychosocial Worker (CPSW) crash course is a one-month training designed for those who want to work at the grassroots level in mental health. Conducted in both online and offline formats, the course offers two-hour sessions in the morning and evening. It equips participants with the basic tools to provide psychosocial support within their communities, including recognizing signs of distress, providing initial emotional aid, and connecting individuals to further care. This course is ideal for students, volunteers, health workers, and social mobilizers aiming to build a foundation in mental health support.
We conduct a range of short-term orientation and awareness sessions tailored to specific needs. Topics include stress management, anger management, self-care, parenting support, suicide prevention, ethical media reporting, and career counseling. These sessions are customized according to the availability of participants, time, and budget. They are ideal for schools, colleges, media houses, offices, and community groups looking to enhance their mental health literacy in practical, engaging ways.
As part of our holistic approach to mental health, we organize Mandala Art Therapy workshops for children, adolescents, and adults. These two-hour creative sessions focus on emotional expression, mindfulness, and self-discovery through guided art-making. Participants create circular Mandala art, which helps reduce anxiety, enhance focus, and promote relaxation. This therapeutic form of art is particularly effective in helping individuals process emotions and improve self-awareness in a gentle and enjoyable manner.
Research is a vital component of our work at Heart-Mind Consultancy. We regularly engage in small-scale studies to understand local mental health challenges and service gaps. Our current research activities are centered around clients at our counseling center. In the future, we aim to expand into intervention-based research, provided funding becomes available. Our research helps inform our training modules, counseling practices, and advocacy strategies, ensuring our services are both evidence-based and culturally relevant.
