The Self Academy is an initiative of Thought Trail Counselling Service, began as a hunch from a simple yet powerful belief: Every human being has the right and the ability to live authentically, to cope with life’s challenges, and to relate meaningfully with others.
We saw how often people are left without the tools to understand themselves, manage their emotions, or build healthy relationships. Too many carry the weight of unspoken struggles, or feel that growth, healing, and counselling are privileges reserved for a few.
We wanted to change that
As an advocate, I often witnessed couples and families navigating conflicts, breakdowns, and painful separations. Legal battles could resolve certain aspects — custody, property rights, maintenance, or judicial relief — but the deeper wounds often remained unacknowledged and unhealed. By the time a verdict was reached, so much had already been lost.
What stayed with me was not just the case files, but the human struggle behind them. I realized that legal solutions alone could not address the core issues. Time and again, I saw that people needed more than judgments — they needed healing education, guidance that we rarely receive in schools, homes, or communities. They needed awareness of their emotions, patterns of relating, rights, and, above all, the capacity to reconnect with compassion.
This realization gave birth to The Self Academy — an initiative designed to bridge the gap between legal resolution and emotional healing, empowering individuals to grow, heal, and thrive beyond conflict.
It gives me great joy to welcome you to this space of reflection, growth, and discovery. At The Self Academy, our vision is simple yet profound — to create a reflective space where you can explore your emotions and uncertainties to meet with self-awareness. Our goal is to empower you to understand yourself, strengthen your relationship and build a life rooted in emotional well-being and resilience. Our programs address the biological, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of healing and growth.
Every Question you hold. Every Emotion you feel. Every Moment of pause is an invitation to discover something deeper within you.
This is your space — a space where you are encouraged to:
Ask and reflect. Understand your problems, patterns, and strengths. Embrace your emotions with compassion and clarity.
The Self Academy is your space where education, counselling, and emotional intelligence come together. Here, learning is not just about information, but about transformation. Our programs – workshops, courses, and counselling services are designed to spark those “light bulb moments” — the ones where everything suddenly makes sense, and you realize what needs to change in your life.
