We are impressed with how well the overall program was structured. Many intriguing and helpful reflective tools were given to us which has proved to be incredibly accurate and has already benefited our relationship. Roopak was open and easy to get along with, so we felt comfortable sharing our emotions with him. Doing this therapy created a connection and an understanding of myself and my spouse that I had no clue I could discover after knowing him for so long, in such a short period of time. I have found a sense of balance in my life, as well as acceptance of myself and my husband. I’m more at ease expressing myself to him than I have in a long time. It made us see how, despite our differences, we complement each other and how open and honest communication (when handled with love and care) can truly unravel and resolve any conflicts and friction that would otherwise escalate into unnecessary hurt. With the therapy experience, my husband and I now feel better equipped to tackle the tough challenges and situations that we know we will have throughout our marriage, and while we understand they will inevitably arise, we also know how to address them better. I thank TLT for opening my eyes as to how to build the foundations of a stronger relationship with my husband and for providing me with the tools to continue on this journey. You guys are truly good at what you do.

Had a wonderful journey with Roopak that helped us a lot. The beautifully crafted sessions gave a lot of insights and tools to understand each other. It definitely was a valuable lesson overall and one which will help us throughout our life as a couple.

We had more than 15 sessions with Mr.Roopak and I found him really experienced and he is a great listener and analyser. He has simple solutions to all our big problems that we think are complicated. I truly found each and every session valuable and informative. I would advice all the young couples "To be married" and "just married" to just go ahead with their counselling sessions.

Sophia is a sharp, skilled and dedicated couples therapist. She works with couples by understanding their family dynamics, culture, gender roles, aspirations and their world view and helps them reach a place in their relationship where both partners can thrive individually and together. Her good nature, gentle approach and warm demeanour make it easy while working through complex emotional issues. I’ve worked with her at a crucial period in my life, and it’s transformed my marriage. If you’re looking for a couples therapist, she’s the one.

My experience with TLT has been really meaningful and worthwhile. I have gained helpful perspectives that challenged my notions in a supportive and non-judgemental manner. The team is qualified, knowledgeable and efficient with their work. I have received help in the best way possible during my difficult days.

Here are a collection of little stories they told us.

Had so much fun while we discovered about each other & built a stronger bond

As a couple, we were doing many new things in the lockdown. When we found TLT, it was just another lockdown activity, but it turned out to be much more than that. We actually had so many surprises and so much fun while we discovered about each other and built a stronger bond through all the sessions and activities. We were taught to work with ourselves and our relationship. We also realise that the same techniques can be applied for all our relationships. Thank you Sophia and team TLT.

Well structured way of understanding someone who I need to be spending the rest of my life with

We were asked to attend this program by my fiancé’s sister. I felt it was more practical than sitting at a coffee shop and have conversations that may not give the actual context. This was indeed a more practical and structured way of understanding someone who I need to be spending the rest of my life with. The experience was amazing and beautiful. It made me to be in the real time and come out of my perceptions and apprehensions of marriage because I understood a lot of things about my future fiancé and I felt that I can see him more from a realistic point.

Helped me to talk to my wife with more clarity and understanding

I was feeling lonely in my relationship most of the time. I was finding it difficult to talk to anyone, I am close to. Somehow my family and friends couldn’t understand how I felt. But I felt heard and understood at TLT. Taking this program, helped me to talk to my wife with more clarity and understanding. I feel she understands me better now and I am more open to understanding her too.

It was very relevant to my life and my partner

Frankly speaking I did not know what to expect at the workshop. But I realised that from the first hour itself that it was very relevant to my life and my partner. It was through simple activities I realised that what we can do differently to make changes for the better in my married life. It was very insightful. Thank you team TLT for the passion with which you have created this very unique workshop.

Helped a lot to identify our weaknesses and work on them

There were great conversations that happened through this program. I am so thankful to Sophia for the warmth and understanding she showed. The insights, tools and methods she provided, guided us to identify the stress points in our marriage and bridge our gaps.

Helped my husband and me a lot

My therapist asked me to enroll in this program along with my husband during my pregnancy. It has helped us both a lot. I feel that my husband was more involved in the pregnancy and with the baby.

Very practical in helping us understand things based on our own context

The day was amazing. The sessions on relationship management, financial stability and all the other activities made me understand my partner well – how I think, what she feels and how we both can merge our thoughts together. The team also was very practical in helping us understand things based on our own context. Thank you so much.

It helped us draw out our feelings about us

The experience was good. Had quite a few activities today, which seem simple but brought out a lot of meaning, thoughts and shifts within our context. It helped us draw out our feelings about us and our relationship and I really loved it. There were revelations on what little things that I can proactively tweak to bring about a positive change in my relationship with my wife.

Feeling confident as I am getting into an arranged marriage

Ours is (going to be) an arranged marriage. Due to the pandemic, I could only meet him online because even the girl-seeing happened online. I was not too sure whether he and I are a good match. My mentor asked me to contact TLT who I believe she had referred to many of her students. This program helped me and my fiancé know each other much better. Feeling much more confident now and waiting for our wedding in January.

Different because it felt tailor-made for me and my wife

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day! I have been a part of many workshops and also have conducted workshops as I am a trainer myself. This one was very, very different. Different because it felt tailor-made for me and my wife. I did not know that such simple and yet powerful techniques will work so well. I now think that all couples who are getting married to attend a workshop like this.

This program helped me get closer to my wife

My wife and I had felt that we had drifted apart after our son was born. It also got complicated because she and our son was staying in her hometown. This program helped both of us understand where we must focus our attention and what we can do together to help our marriage. This is a program I feel we should have done while she was pregnant itself.

We could identify and address most of the issues in our marriage

My wife joined me in Canada 6 months after our wedding. I have been here for a little over 2 years. It was great being with her in the beginning but we were fighting a lot very soon. I felt her family was interfering a lot even though they were back in Bangalore. We had reached a point where we thought it was best that we separate and that is when a friend suggested we enroll in the program with The Little Things. It was a good experience to go through the program. We could identify and address most of the issues we were facing. Some issues, we realized will remain and that is the DNA of our marriage! Be prepared for a lot of self-work!

Many things have started changing towards the better

This program helped me work on my relationship with more understanding. I realized that with their input and my own efforts of doing some little things and changes, many things have started changing towards the better. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to build a stronger bond in their relationship with their husband or wife.

I personally found a lot of validation about my feelings

The experience of attending the session was beautiful! It was coupled with experiences that we have experienced long back but have seized to experience it now because of our hectic lives and shifts in our relationship. There were reminders on how to draw from what worked for us in the past and how to make it work now – like talking and laughing for silly reasons. I personally found a lot of validation about my feelings and emotions that I felt about my husband. This program enabled me to help my husband understand some things that I have been trying to communicate to him from a long time.

We decided to stay and work on ourselves and our relationship

My husband and I were living together in Mumbai and post the wedding our work took us to different parts of the world. When we finally reunited in Dubai after 3 years, we realized that we could not relate to each other at all. We were constantly fighting. Also, he confessed about having feelings for a colleague and he was not too sure if he wanted to continue our marriage. He actually suggested we try therapy and his sister gave TLT’s website. We enrolled for the program and we see a difference in our relationship. We have now decided to work on our marriage and take it forward.
