TATVA is an Anglo/Indian emotional wellness and mental health awareness organisation based in Goa, India. It is run by highly qualified and experienced psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, life coaches and other holistic therapists. It provides various services; including having a charming rural therapeutic residential retreat for both Indian and international clients, situated on an island in tropical North Goa.

Amongst other things we mix travel/tourism with therapy; providing psychotherapy/counselling for individuals, couples, groups and families. We also integrate nature, art, music and other creative therapies, including alternative holistic therapies like yoga, massage and meditation. If clients don’t wish to stay in our retreat, they can attend our structured day care programme. We also provide outpatient face to face counselling for locals and via Skype to clients from any country/culture.

At our luxury retreat clients relax from their often busy lives back home, exploring themselves and gaining support, direction and considering their options; whilst also enjoying a holiday in beautiful Goa at the same time. We have a basic structured programme which revolves around therapies/lectures/discussions in the mornings; then organised activities/excursions or free time in the afternoons/evenings. We design an individually tailored programme with each client prior to or on arrival with us; to accommodate their therapeutic needs and personal interests. We get clients from all over India; plus from many other countries worldwide. We welcome individuals, couples and families. Our staff speak Hindi, French and English.

TATVA works with people who present with various problems and mental health issues including anxiety, low self esteem, depression, stress, intimacy, emotional literacy, sexuality and gender issues, relationship and marriage difficulties, poor family dynamics, crisis management, loneliness, anger management, substance abuse and addiction, existential angst, stress management, aging process, death anxiety, bereavement, grief and loss, trauma, emotional intelligence etc. We not only work with those who have a diagnosis/issue; but also those with none but just have an enquiring mind and want to further their personal and/or professional development by exploring themselves and their lives.

We are an emotional wellness project; promoting and celebrating conscious self exploration, emotional vulnerability and authenticity. We are born out of the appreciation of self awareness and self development and we are committed to creating spaces where this can take place is a professional and safe environment, facilitated by experienced and trained international mental health professionals. We aim to cultivate a sense of curiosity about ourselves and the world, in the age of distractions and quick fixes. Our therapeutic work contemplates questions like: How can we be more present and engaged in our lives and our relationships? How can we find meaning, direction and purpose to enable a fulfilling existence? We explore any areas of a client’s life that may be causing them distress or holding them back in some way; then we empower them to discover new and healthy ways of living so that they feel more satisfied, in control, fulfilled and content. TATVA’s therapeutic team has over 50 years of combined experience.

We also provide ‘extended care addiction treatment;’ plus ‘addiction recovery top up retreats.’ Clients can stay with us for a minimum of 2 weeks to 3 months after they’ve undergone primary de-addiction treatment, or have been abstinent from all mind altering substances (apart from prescribed meds) for a minimum of 28 days; giving them the professional support they need whilst they decide their next step and undergoing rehabilitation back into society. Our recovery top up retreats are for those who already have some recovery from addiction under their belts but may want to reinforce their recovery with support from addiction treatment specialists; these retreats include, counselling, education lectures, discussions, relapse prevention training, aftercare support – we also arrange activities and give those attending free time to enjoy Goa. Individuals and couples/partners are welcome (if it’s a couple, then only one partner needs to be in ‘recovery.’)

We collaborate a lot with others; so we co-facilitate retreats, workshops, events, training, lectures – whether they be at TATVA or elsewhere. We welcome other professionals bringing groups to work at TATVA; plus we promote artists of all sorts to exhibit/perform their work in order to promote discussion, educate, reduce the shame and stigma and empower better mental health.

TATVA also has two programmes for education establishments and businesses – our SEWP (Students Emotional Wellness Programme) where we teach Emotional Intelligence to students and staff in educational establishment; plus our OEWP (Organisation Emotional Wellness Programme) where we support and empower managers and employees in businesses and corporations throughout India and internationally.
