About Dr. Pratibha Chandak
Dr. Ms. Pratibha Madanlal Chandak has been working as a professional psychologist for more than 20 years, supporting children, students, parents, staff members, and professionals through counselling, behaviour guidance, and emotional well-being.
After pursuing M.A. in Psychology, she set out to contribute to education through practical psychological guidance from an early age. That vision led to the establishment of ANANDALAYA, a centre created to nurture growth, awareness, confidence, and holistic development.
Anandalaya grew from a simple but powerful idea: to contribute to the upcoming generation through psychological understanding, education, and life-oriented guidance from the early years onward.
The centre supports holistic development through counselling, aptitude testing, career guidance, parenting support, and help with behaviour, communication, and emotional concerns.
Every interaction is rooted in awareness, practical support, and human understanding so individuals feel guided, not judged, while building a more confident future through both online and offline support.
