Leading gently.



I’m Sarmishta and I’m honoured to meet you and invite you into my story. I’m a Certified Biblical Counselor with ACBC, a pastor’s wife and spiritual mentor to several women, a designer, and a passionate mother and teacher to my son who lives with spina bifida.

*Counseling is now available online for anyone, anywhere around the world!*


This space is dedicated to your spiritual well-being. If you are broken, lonely, terrified, hurting, or hopeless, know that you are not alone in your suffering. Scriptures teach that almost everything you go through is felt or experienced by others around you too, like tremors on the floor (1 Corinthians 10:13, 1 Peter 5:9). Help is near, and you only need ask. Talk to me and I can help you find a way through your struggles.


Learn about my Biblical counseling philosophy, ask me anything on the biblical counseling process, make an appointment for counseling, learn how to overcome common issues in your life or find recommended resources, all from the comfort of your home online.


Looking for a counseling appointment ? Let me take you there.

Come Home this Christmas

Biblical Counseling Meditations
Coming home has become overwhelming. Keeping up with family traditions and prepping up for family dinners can be really stressful for some. Coming home to a dysfunctional family with an absentee father or a controlling mother can be stressful for some others. Culturally we live in tumultuous times. Christians are terrorized by the threat of anti-conversion bills and right-winged bullies, constantly living their own rightful lives as though they have committed the unpardonable sin. Young blokes are calling for a 'ghar wapasi' (homecoming to the home religion) to seal the nation's ethnic identity, unaware that such tactics make the idea of home more abhorrent.
