OUR STORY

We are a team of mental health professionals turned entrepreneurs, united by a shared commitment to support individuals in navigating the emotional challenges of modern life. Drawing from diverse therapeutic backgrounds, we’ve witnessed the quiet yet profound impact of anxiety, low self-worth, and identity struggles on personal and professional well-being.

Through Emote Desk, we provide safe, inclusive spaces in schools, workplaces, and communities where people of all ages can explore their emotions, build self-awareness, and strengthen their inner resilience. Our tailored programs — from counseling to emotional intelligence workshops — reflect our belief that mental health support must be personalized and accessible.

At our core, we aim to normalize emotional expression and promote emotional well-being as a vital foundation for a meaningful and balanced life.

ODYSSEY- an inward expedition blending with nature
all in the pursuit of self love & self healing

I've enrolled my teenage son during the pandemic in Emote Desk's Life Skills Workshop as a need-of-the hour programme, and it helped him overcome his anger and irritation issues. Not just this, we as parents were also guided by the dos and don'ts of parenting. This, in turn, helped us settle some issues too. Happy to have approached Emote Desk.
