Our Story
Every organisation has a story. While the TalkItOver story is still being written, it’s worth knowing how we started. TalkItOver is founded by trained and qualified counsellors, who share a common dream to promote well being and growth through counselling in India.
This dream was fuelled by the lack of awareness about counselling in India. Many people believe that you visit a counsellor only during a crisis or when you have a problem that you cannot resolve yourself. At such times, they expect that counselling will give them a quick solution. In reality, counselling is the opportunity to discuss your thoughts and feelings to find your own answers, based on your unique life situation.
Most people do not have this perception. Thus there was an urgent need to create awareness about what counselling is and how it works. TalkItOver was launched in December 2010 to create the awareness that counselling is an avenue for growth and well being for all people.
Apart from a lack of awareness, there also seemed to be a lack of visibility among counsellors. People who wanted to meet a counsellor found it difficult to access one. There seemed to be a bridge that was missing between counsellors and people seeking counselling.
TalkItOver aims to be that bridge.
Since 2010, our team has counselled thousands of clients and written hundreds of articles in the Indian context, available for free on the TalkItOver website.
Our Vision
We envision TalkItOver to become a movement for counselling in India. We hope through our message and our services, we can help people realise that counselling is one of the paths to self awareness, growth and greater fulfillment in any area of our lives.
We also hope to become a hub for counsellors who can learn and grow professionally, demonstrating the power of collaboration and social entrepreneurship.
