Mindset coach and counsellor Sharanya V, recently spotlighted by CNA Lifestyle, is making waves in Singapore’s mental health landscape by addressing the emotional challenges of parenthood, marriage, and identity. Her podcast, The Parenting Revival, was named one of the top eight podcasts for women in Singapore, reflecting her influence in the ongoing national conversation on mental health.
With mental health gaining prominence on Singapore’s national agenda, Sharanya V’s work is timely. Her approach offers non-clinical, human-centred guidance, which is crucial as the government shifts mental health care from hospital-based interventions to community-focused support. This transition aims to address not only diagnosed conditions but also the broader emotional challenges faced by individuals.
Sharanya V’s practice, which spans over 15 years of cross-cultural experience, provides a blend of coaching and counselling. Her services extend to clients in Singapore, the UK, and Australia, offering both in-person and virtual sessions. She focuses on building resilience in parenting, marriage, and identity, providing structured one-on-one support and free resources, including expert tutorials and her podcast.
The pressures of Singapore’s high-performance culture and rising academic expectations have led to increased burnout and higher divorce rates, particularly among couples married for five to ten years. Sharanya V’s work addresses these issues by promoting emotional wellbeing as a vital part of daily life, helping individuals and families thrive amidst these challenges. Her efforts continue to support the community’s mental wellness, reinforcing the importance of accessible, everyday mental health resources.
