From surviving abuse to becoming the light for others

Namaste everyone. I am Veena Poojar, a narcissistic abuse recovery professional and the 'voice of victims' & 'a ray of hope' to those who are traumatized.

It was not easy for me to come out of an abusive relationship — but I helped myself without giving up. That is how this journey of counselling and empowering victims of abuse began, more than three years ago. They called me mad, they called me names — but that didn't stop me. Instead, it turned my profession from an engineer into a counsellor.

Today, through my foundation "Happy Healing Happy Feeling", I empower the emotional wellbeing of people. I am on a mission to help millions who still hold on to the hope that one day they will receive the light they deserve. I am their light — and I want to tell them they can become a light too.

With lots of love and gratitude. Namaste. 🙏

You Are Not Alone

If any of this feels familiar, please reach out

Healing begins the moment you decide you deserve better. Through our counselling sessions we help you get out of your problems — at your pace, in a space where your pain is understood.

  • You feel anxious, drained or "not yourself" around someone
  • You constantly doubt yourself and walk on eggshells
  • You're recovering from a controlling relationship or family
  • You're parenting alone and carrying it all by yourself
Reach out — it's OK
Breaking the Silence

Abuse has many faces

Manipulation, control, bullying and violence often hide in plain sight — at home, in relationships and at the workplace. Recognising it is the first step to freedom.
