The Silver Lining

Hope is Here

Mental health services to help you discover

the brighter side of life

I'm seeking mental health services for:

❮ for myself
for my organisation ❯

"We are building a world
where mental health is
not just a personal battle,
but a collective promise "

Our mission

is to walk alongside individuals and organisations as they prioritise mental wellbeing through therapy, education, and community care that is evidence-based, inclusive, and deeply human.

Our Values

HONESTY:

We hold up the mirror gently, but truthfully. You deserve a space where things aren't sugarcoated or rushed - just real, respectful, and rooted in trust.

OPTIMISM:

We don't promise quick fixes but we do believe that healing is possible. Even when you can't see the light yet, we help you hold on to it.

PERSPECTIVE:

Sometimes your story needs to be seen from a different lens. We help you step back, zoom out, and see the full picture. Not just in what happened, but in who you are becoming.

EMPATHY:

There is no room for judgement here. Instead, we make room - for your mess, your silence, and your breakthroughs.

These values speak to who we are as an organisation. We hold ourselves accountable to the afore-mentioned values of HOPE.

At The Silver Lining, you are free to be real, to feel deeply, and to slowly untangle what’s been weighing you down; with care, not haste. We hold space for you to meet yourself.

Testimonials

“I came into the session with my heart broken; feeling miserable, overwhelmed...absolutely hopeless; and the way Divya assisted me in slowing down, helping me navigate using different tools and modalities along with her own intuition - it was masterful. She really made me feel held and there was no moment in the session where I felt any kind of "stuckness" - I have struggled with that in the past. In the session, I was able to shed the armour and conditioning of so many complex and deep layers and let them go as if it was nothing, and I actually reached a point where I felt like I now have access to safety and connection...I feel like I have accessed trust in myself and I am now ready for things to be different.
Right from healing my inner child, anchoring, giving me resources, doing away with limiting beliefs - there were so many complex things that she weaved together in a seamless manner - that's the power she brings to the session: the ability to use all the different tools and modalities in her tool-box, each, to the level of mastery. I am immensely grateful. Thank you, Divya!”

“I started therapy with Divya following a friend’s suggestion. I think it was a good decision to start therapy, in general, and more so with Divya. She was my first introduction to therapy and it was really good. I was not disappointed. She helped me deal with my emotions and focused specifically on things which I needed at that time. Talking to Divya feels like talking to a friend. Also, I feel pretty amazed by the way she remembers minute details about me without even writing it down. I have even recommended her to many friends and acquaintances. Thank you so much Divya for helping me work through my problems.”

“Divya is MAGIC! That is literally what I call her because after therapy, I am a different person. She is awesome and is always available for you. She gives homework that is doable and that will help you (I guarantee you that – provided you actually DO it). She follows a holistic approach and makes sure that you are feeling amazing overall!! She remembers literally everything that you tell her and actually makes you realise things that you didn’t even know! Divya, thank you for all your help!”

Counselling Psychologist

“I took hypnotherapy sessions from Divya. From the very first session, I found it to be positive. The positive affirmations that were given to me in various forms during all sessions were extremely strong and intense, so much so that they kept coming to me during the course of the day from time to time. It definitely was empowering and instilled hope. It instilled clarity in my mind. The sessions despite being intense were enjoyable. I looked forward to it each time. They did not take me away from reality but instead gave me a more positive outlook towards my current situation. The sessions were beneficial and there were some break-throughs.
Despite bringing up intense emotional experiences, Divya was very gentle. During these sessions, I learnt my lessons in the most gentle and enjoyable and enriching way. I am grateful to Divya for helping me go through this enlightening experience.”

“I came to Divya to overcome my fear of dogs. I was so scared of dogs that even if I saw a dog far away, I would just change my route. My husband loves dogs and I used to have constant nightmares that I am going to wake up one morning and discover he has brought a dog home!
My first session with Divya was so helpful. I noticed myself feeling less scared of dogs despite being aware of their presence. That evening, I was shocked to see myself sitting on a bench with three strays barely a few metres away. I also noticed that I am sleeping better at night. Thank you for the experience. I had never felt like this before. I feel more confident when I am around dogs now.”

“I was skeptical of EFT. I had never heard of it. It seemed to me like a placebo, at first. When I met Divya, she gave me complete information about the technique and how it could benefit me. She was patient and available immediately in my period of crisis. This was something I had not seen in any therapist till then – someone genuinely caring about her client’s mental health. She is amongst the best therapists in the country! And while this may seem like an exaggeration, in no way am I exaggerating – for me, to make this claim, my sample size is indeed a lot for I have had more than my fair share of therapists in my whole life!
Therapy and EFT really helped me. I went to Divya many times during a year, and she helped me deal with all the curve-balls life threw my way. EFT has helped me have better coping mechanisms. I would highly recommend Divya.”

“There was a time when I felt so demoralised, so dejected and so left out that I considered just curling up and going into that undisturbed eternal sleep. However, that was not to be because I knew I had to stop wallowing in self-pity and come to terms with reality. I needed help and the first name that popped up in my mind was that of Divya. And it was to her that I turned to in my hour of despair. She was patient, listened to me and explained the therapeutic tools she uses when working with clients. Being a cynic, I read up a lot of EFT before I tried it with her. What I had read and the session I took with her was a revelation. Unlike the many videos you see online, Divya puts her heart and soul into it and makes it a unique experience. She was patient, heard me out and never for a moment did that smile vanish from her face. I don’t know if it was the EFT that worked or the realisation that there was someone who was willing to hear me out that made me see the sunshine yet again. Thanks Divya for being the eternal sunshine in my life. Go, spread the magic.”

“I have consulted Divya at my lowest point and have done a few sessions of therapy combined with EFT with her. I am extremely comfortable around her, and it’s very easy to open up to her with all my feelings. She is very genuine, funny, quick and extremely comforting at the same time. She does not let me wallow in my low thoughts and helps me shift and change my thoughts for the better. And the shift kind of sticks to you forever. She is someone who has helped me start my journey within and helped me love and accept myself completely.”

“Divya is an amazing person to talk to when you feel stuck, or things become tangled and complicated in your life. She is a great mentor and a wonderful therapist. I personally experienced the magic of her sessions during some training programs and workshops. Instead of advising, she helps you to see new perspectives, and draw your own conclusion. She makes the session so easy that you instantly feel connected and at ease. Divya holds this space for everyone regardless of age. She is a great motivator and wonderful guide who will help you explore new things in life.”
