About Shubho
I am trained to help Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Christians and atheists to grow spiritually. I shall commit to a monthly meeting with the concerned person in a neutral setting like a restaurant. By profession I am a permanent Assistant Professor in English who after having cleared the UGC conducted NET examination has studied religion and spiritual guidance separately in a seminary. By birth and conviction I am a Hindu, by orientation I am a humanist and believe in the power of the spoken/written word to change others. I am married with one daughter. I am now completing my PhD. I write in both Catholic and Hindu journals. I also have a protected blog. The following are the exact services I offer: a) Helping the client to grow spiritually and later self-actualize/ grow in self esteem. b) I use contemporary psychoanalytical tools to support the individual including basic Yoga and art ( visual, textual and philosophical) therapies. c) I am available to a client who finds me suitable for her/himself through chat, Blackberry Messenger and texting after the first meeting. What I do not offer: a) Help for psychiatric disorders. ( I can refer the client to psychiatrists and after medication, one can continue with therapy) b) Change of another's belief system. c) Taking decisions for others. d) I lay no value in miracles and would help the client to see the miracle of daily life. Demands from the client. a) Footing of the bill at the tea / coffee place. b) Rs 500/- for per face to face interaction. c) A monthly fee of Rs 500 for the whole month; to be payed in advance if the client clicks with me and wants to continue the process of self-actualization. d) Return same day flight to and from your city ( if you are outside of Kolkata) and conveyance to and from the airport. What to expect from spiritual counselling? a) Peace and increased self-confidence. b) Acceptance of the Self. c) Ability to do away with spiritual counselling and becoming a guide of others down the line. d) Greater feelings of autonomy and well- being. Whatever will be shared in the interactions will be kept strictly confidential. The client can terminate therapy at any time. Under no circumstances will anything that passes within the conversation will be shared with anyone else. There is only one exception to this: if you suffer from pedophilia you will be compulsorily sent to a psychiatrist otherwise I will contact the police myself.
