We visited Dr Dawny after 4 years. The newly updated clinic has a serene and calming atmosphere.Spacious waiting area . No other psychiatrist I have visited had an indoor waiting area for patients. That shows the regard and concern the doctor has for his patients.
When you book a detailed hourly session,you get an exclusive time for you which ensures that no other patients will be there.
We went for premarital counselling sessions. Since he is a family therapist as well as a sexologist, we found the sessions extremely helpful and professional compared to the one we attended through the church recommended counsellor. We have tried centers in Bangalore and Delhi,but the therapy sessions were far better here.My partner had some anger issues and I was suffering from longstanding depression. His medical treatment took care of it.
Pros :
1.Total privacy and confidentiality of clients and patients maintained.
2.Indoor waiting area.
3.Consultation fee for the basic session remains the same even after four years. So it is affordable for most people.
4.A clean toilet was available at the backside of the house which is very important especially for ladies when we travel from long distances to see the doctor.
Cons :
1. We had to wait for 2- 3 weeks to get an appointment for the detailed hourly session for couple counselling since the slots were already booked out.But it was worth the wait.
2. Waiting time for a short consultation also is a bit high since there are a lot of patients . But he tends to see each patient with utmost attention.
3. Once the daily tokens are over ,we have to wait in order and have to keep checking if someone cuts the line.
4. It is difficult to get an auto from this location. But booking an Uber solved that problem.
I totally recommend this doctor for Family Therapy and for those suffering from mental health Issues.

I came across Dr Dawny through an online search. My partner and I have been struggling to see eye to eye in our marraige, so we attended a number of couples counselling sessions. I found Dr Dawny to be attentive, supportive and insightful.He listened impartially to both of us, with the aim of helping us bridge the communication gap in our relationship. Through the practical suggestions he offered us to get our marriage on track, it is clear that he is highly trained and experienced in his field of work. He was sensitive to the challenges that our particular circumstances presented - I am British and my husband a Keralite - and helped us understand what are reasonable expectations within these constraints, and what are not.
I also appreciated that he stayed in touch via WhatsApp - a quick line or two to check in on how we're are getting on. This was often the nudge I needed to remind myself of what had been covered in the sessions.
I would definitely recommend his counselling services, which have made a tangible difference to how I think and feel. Simply being listened to and having my feelings acknowledged was a balm for my troubled heart.
