My partner and I have had an incredible experience with Hari Chettiar! We started seeing him in anticipation of our marriage - which was important to us - and continued to reach out to him when we've needed some extra support over the years. He's offered us such such valuable insights into ourselves and the relationship and has provided us with tools and understandings to sustainably deal with the inevitable conflicts that arise. This has helped us grow even closer and stronger as a couple.
Hari is very skilled at making both parties feel heard and understood, immensely articulate in his knowledge

Hari is such an amazing therapist. During our short time together he so innovative, understanding, and an open mind. He brings his knowledge and experience into the sessions. He listens and gives his perspective to his clients and can challenge you in a safe way.

I highly recommend Hari. He has a calm, collected, non-judgmental and holistic presence that I think makes him relatable to both men and women. He finds the connection between physical symptoms and what this means from an emotional perspective. If you are looking to improve your mood, anger, anxiety, etc. then Hari is a great choice.

Hari is one of the best counsellors I've met! He knows exactly how to dig deep but be very sensitive and empathetic. I was recommending people to him before he even opened his practice.

Hari is a really wonderful counsellor. I truly felt that he listened to me and helped me process what was going on in my life. He comes across as very compassionate, skilled, and genuine, and I felt comfortable with him right away. I would highly recommend Hari if you are looking for a counsellor. Also, his office was easy to find in a comfortable, clean, welcoming space.
