Aditi Kulkarni, Founder, and Director of Yuvana Wellness expressed her insightful thoughts and ideas at the start-up session of the Health 2.0 Conference, scheduled at Intercontinental Dubai Festival City, UAE, on 23rd - 25th March 2022.
Aditi is a RECBT practitioner specializing in Single Session Therapy. She founded Yuvana Wellness to make multiple mental health services available under one roof. They offer therapy sessions, mental health screenings, psychometric analysis, and short-duration training.
Intending to equip people in the handling and monitoring of their emotions in a healthy and fulfilling way, they are Pune’s (India) first Single Session Therapy (SST) center.
In the start-up session, she talked about how Yuvana Wellness offers single-session therapy, a recently developed psychotherapy protocol. Single-session therapy aims to provide a treatment or therapy at a lesser cost, in less time, and with more effectiveness. SST is one problem, one session, and one plan.
She highlighted the benefits of SST, which include providing help according to the person’s point of need rather than availability. Also, with one session solution, there is cost-effectiveness and reduction in the taboo and commitment time to the psychotherapy. SST is a complete client-driven therapy method where the client decides the flow of the session. The client has the power to dictate the how, when, and where of their treatment and not the therapist.
Aditi also discussed the ‘Self-Sarthi’ book they give to their clients during the session, which has the action plans created by her. It contains suggestions or helps in times of stress, decision-making, and keeping track of their progress.
They have designed pocket-friendly play cards that can be used for self-talk for motivation or to keep track of their progress. These are also given during the session therapy to motivate and help the clients feel better.
They are trying to make psychotherapy a convenient and quick process to help people in times of stress instead of after suffering it. They intend to bridge the gap between the time taken by the therapeutic intervention to work and in finding a solution to mental health problems.
Considering their virtuous intentions and tremendous dedication to solving prevailing mental health issues, Health 2.0 Conference honored Aditi Kulkarni with the ‘Outstanding Leadership Award.’
