Rupesh R Shukla

As the Founder of My Counsellor India (MCI), my work is dedicated to helping individuals, schools, and organisations build emotionally aware and mentally resilient communities.

Since 2019, I’ve been deeply involved in stress and depression counselling, family and marital therapy, and emotional well-being programmes. My understanding of awareness and healing changed profoundly during the COVID-19 lockdown, when I witnessed the vulnerability and uncertainty that touched so many lives.

Having been in professional counselling since 2013 — working closely with teenagers and their parents — I realised that true healing lies not in quick solutions but in building mental resilience and a stable mindset that can endure life’s challenges. Since then, I’ve focused on mindset training and conducting wellness workshops for parents and students.

As a Behavioural Psychology Expert and Senior Counsellor, I’ve devoted my career to nurturing emotional strength and clarity in people’s lives. Alongside counselling, I also train and mentor aspiring counsellors to become empathetic, ethically grounded, and compassionate professionals, committed to improving India’s mental health landscape. I believe that mental health education and mindset training should be as integral to growth as academic learning itself.

Focus Areas :-
• Mindset training and emotional well-being programmes for students and educators
• Counselling and mentoring for individuals and families
• Training future counsellors and psychology professionals
• Guiding EdTech firms on student behaviour, engagement, and wellness

With over 12 years in IIT–NEET coaching at Aakash Institute, Rao IIT Academy, and Reddy’s Institute of Excellence, I’ve mentored aspiring IITians and doctors, including top national rankers. Those years taught me that success doesn’t begin with intelligence — it begins with a healthy mind and a guided sense of purpose.

Academically, I hold degrees in Psychology, Sociology, and History, which have shaped my multidisciplinary understanding of human behaviour and society.

My mission is simple yet lifelong — to make emotional well-being, self-awareness, and resilience essential parts of education and everyday life. Poetry remains my quiet space — a reminder that healing often begins with reflection. The goal is to provide the right guidance, build lasting relationships, and offer solutions that make a real impact.
