Count on me - Little Umbrella Foundation

About Us

We’ve often been told that in the end, the only person you can count on is yourself. However, it doesn’t mean that you need to be alone on your journey. Mental well-being is just as important as physical health. The change in lives brought on by the pandemic has not only secluded people physically but also mentally & emotionally and the taboo around mental health still hasn’t improved during the time of crisis. Hence, ‘Count on Me’ by Little Umbrella Foundation aims to support individuals going through emotional and mental conundrums.

Looking for a safe space to talk it out? We are providing online support group sessions where you can share your personal experiences with like-minded individuals and learn various coping mechanisms from professional Psychologists.

Mental well-being is a lifelong journey that takes place one day, one step at a time. ‘Count on Me’ envisions building a community where a culture for mutual support is fostered.

meet the team

I am Himanshi, a practicing psychologist. I have a master’s degree in clinical psychology and experience of working with adults, teenagers, couples for a couple of years. I thrive in working with people who are willing, to be honest with themselves. I encourage working as a team with clients, learning, and supporting through the process. Be it working with an individual client, couples, or working in a group, my interest has been to know and understand individuals through active listening and observing. The provision of a safe space has been my resolve throughout.

Now that I’m also a not-so-active part of this very active lockdown, I sometimes like to read books, binge on shows, spend time on video calls or just go into this oblivion we call sleep! Eating and working out have kept me going when it comes to my day as sessions and self-work go hand in hand.

MSc CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Hi, I, Saundarya Chaudhary, am currently pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Psychology. To earn the on-field experience, I have been an active volunteer and intern in the field of grief and geriatric, and various creative projects with well-known NGOs working for child and women empowerment and won the best intern award as well.
I am an avid believer that early childhood and life experiences and environment are great sources of an individual’s development. With transforming lifestyles, I reckon mental health will play a far bigger role in shaping our future, and I aspire to be instrumental in designing a world where unashamed conversations and the freedom of expressing mental health are widely accepted.
I love reading in my free time, especially our enriched history, feminism in the contemporary world, and Child welfare. Playing with colours, listening to some good music, and trying my hands on baking are some of the stress busters. My guilty pleasure revolves around watching documentaries of prevalent food cultures and cuisines around the world.
My intrinsic nature of socializing and mingling with people makes me enjoy the subject more and more. Being an NCC ‘C’ certificate cadet, I learned that building a disciplined mind and the body is the key to success in our life’s goals.

The initiative is designed as a support group session with an experienced psychologist present at each meeting. It’s been studied that people facing difficulties would feel at ease when they share their problems out loud with people who have faced similar experiences. We acknowledge the fact that not everyone is comfortable revealing their identity while sharing their problems, hence the participants can choose to remain anonymous during these sessions. The funds collected through ‘Count On Me’ will be allocated towards Virtual Vidyalaya and Corona Yodha to help individuals and communities cope with the pandemic.

Next session to be announced soon.........
