GITA A PAREKH

Speaking

A warm, credible voice for rooms that need courage.

My voice belongs not only in the counselling room, but also in hospitals, community spaces, and online gatherings where people need language for fear, hope, caregiving, and life after diagnosis.

Lived experience

A survivor's perspective

Honest stories from someone who has walked through cancer care herself.

Since 2007

15+ years of practice

Grounded in psychotherapy and years of one-to-one counselling.

SURVIVOR • COUNSELLOR • SPEAKER

Where I speak

From hospital wards to online gatherings.

Talks and conversations shaped for the people in the room, whether they are patients, caregivers, care teams, or colleagues.

Hospitals & care teams

Patient and caregiver sessions, and conversations with care teams about the emotional side of treatment.

Support groups

Gentle, honest sessions for people living with cancer and the families who walk beside them.

Organisations

Awareness talks for workplaces and institutions that want to support employees affected by cancer.

Community & online

Community events, panels, and online gatherings, in Mumbai and around the world.

Speaking topics

Conversations people carry home with them.

Every talk can be shaped around your audience. A few of the themes I return to most often:

Positive mind, positive body

How mindset and emotional care support people through treatment and recovery.

Every pain is temporary

Finding steadiness and hope during the hardest stretches of the cancer journey.

Caring without losing yourself

Practical and emotional guidance for partners, parents, children, and friends.

Life after diagnosis

Rebuilding routine, confidence, and identity once treatment ends.

Finding the words

Language for fear, hope, and difficult conversations at home and at work.

A survivor's story

My own journey through breast cancer, and what it taught me about support.

Trust anchors

Why organisations invite me to speak.

Hinduja Hospital featured survivor story

A third-party proof point that reinforces the heart of the work: empathy rooted in real experience.

In-person Mumbai, online worldwide

Local trust and global accessibility, shaped for patients, caregivers, organisations, and support communities.

Warmth over performance

The tone is steady, respectful, and honest. It does not ask people to look brave before they are ready.
