She is a great counselor but i feel she missed the mark at CAREER COUNSELING. CAREER is the most essential aspect and the very substance and crux of the counseling she offers, it would have been wonderful if I was enlightened more on that. When you go to a counselor you want to know the whole spectrum of possibilities and other options and opportunities and not just what you are already into.

It was a really enlightening session where I got the clearity I was looking for as I wanted to do a career switch. Sherene maam is quite understanding and knowledgeable and was very patient throughout the session. God-gifted and brilliant at what she does, she will help you see the picture you may not realize about yourself. I could speak openly up about all the important aspects of my life during the session. The thing I liked the most is she guided me based on my strengths and that is quite encouraging. She also gave me a good understanding of the alternative career paths I was looking at. Thank you so much.

The session was outstanding, it helped me in shaping my career. It helps you to reach your career destination and gives you various other options based on your likes and dislikes. I had a lot of confusion before but after this session, my mindset has become clear and determined. Sherene mam is fantastic, she analyses every bit of our personality and accordingly provides the perfect advice and suggestions. I recommend this session to those people having problem in deciding their future or anything related. Thank you

This review was long pending, decided to give it a while before writing one.Going through a difficult phase in my career I wanted to transition to another career path that would bring me more pay and work satisfaction. The counselling session at Serene Hour was the best decision I could have made for myself.What distinctly stood out with Sherene maam was how knowledgeable, genuine, warm and kind she is. It is not easy to change careers in mid life but with her insightful guidance I got the reassurance and the courage to take the necessary steps.I highly recommend Sherene maam and Serene Hour.

I have had only a few sessions but i can assure you by the end of each one of them i have felt lighter and at ease to take upon my issues and work on them. Talking to her is like a breath of fresh air and we all know how that comes handy. Go for it. :)

Before the counseling session with Serene Hour, I had many doubts about myself and my career but Ms. Sherene made me understand my strengths and guided me to career choices that were extremely practical and something that would line up with my interests and my past experiences. She thoroughly tries to understand your situation and tries to work out a solution that is satisfactory. I had a wonderfully fruitful session with her.

Shirin maam has very good knowledge and she has guided me very nicely about my career.She analysed my strengths and weaknesses properly and has accordingly given me her advice and guidance.She is very soft and articulate while talking. Moreover she made me understand as to which career path my strengths lie.She also emphasized that the decision is to be taken by me, under her guidance, after both of us has understood my interests correctly.She quickly and correctly picked up my inherent strengths and suggested the correct career path for me.I would surely recommend students, parents and adults who want to take guidance about career counseling to seek her help and take guidance in this regard.

She is the best Sherene Aftab Maam has guided me alot has given me alot of time and patience to me And guided me throughout whenever needed.

This career counselling session has proven to be extremely very helpful to me. She made sure I knew all my options before deciding anything and gave me clarity on things I didnt even know I wasnt clear about. She is very kind and respectful. I highly recommend to go to her if you have any doubts about anything.

It was really a fun-filled and knowledgeable session. It thoroughly helped me in introspection and self assessment, highlighted the areas ignored and brought out the best of me.

Serene hour has helped me so much I cant even start to tell you , when i started my career counseling session with them i was so confused , i didnt know anything about the career i wanted to choose but you know when maam started the session , i found that there are a lot of things i am good at because of the questions they Asked ,i started reflecting and found what i truly like . The counselor was so friendly , kind and nice that i felt i could share everything that i had in my mind . Believe me when i say that i was most clueless kid when it comes to my career and when the session ended i was so clear in my mind of what i want to do . I am Very thankful to serene hour for helping me find my career path and i would highly recommend them to everyone whos not sure of what they want to pursue as a profession.- Aryan Yadav

Shereen helped me get a clear picture of what I wanted to do and saw myself doing in the future. That gave me a lot of clarity. Most importantly she did not herself make a decision for me, rather asked me questions so I could make a decision for myself. It was a great experience!

I am extremely happy with my counselling session with sherene maam. She is extremely kind has amazing listening skills and i felt at ease during the session. Due to the Covid19 we did the session on the phone. Absolutely satisfied with the telephonic counselling with her just sitting at the comfort of my home.I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for counseling to approach her. She is the best.

I had a great session at Serene Hour for career counseling. I found the session very useful. It helped in getting a much clearer vision and solved all of my doubts. The best thing I liked about the session was she understands your perspective very well.At the end of the session, I had a clear road map to work on.

I had visited Sherene for my daughters career counselling with a little apprehension as an earlier visit to another counsellor did not turn positive. But upon visiting Sherene she put us at ease and explained the process that we will go through. She is a very good listener and after her guidance we have got a much clearer idea regarding the career options available for my daughter. She is a thorough professional who does not give an arbitrary advice. Would strongly recommend other parents who require counselling for their children to visit her. Thank you Sherene and keep up the good work.

We had a great experience, got a clear view of how we should approach in her career prospects. Couldnt have found a better counselor. Sherene maam had very insightful ideas about the way & path we should approach for my childs career.The main thing we liked was that she had given her valuable time of 2 hours and cleared all our doubts without any hesitation. As mainly the session & time given by any consultant is not more than 45 minutes.We are sure in future I can reach out to her without hesitation.

My session with Sherene was an enlightening one. She helped me (a working professional with dissatisfaction in my current job and career path) in understanding my situation better and evaluating my ideas for a career change. At the end of the session, I felt inspired and had a practical plan of action.I would recommend anyone in a similar situation to go ahead and have a session at Serene Hour.

Knowing ones goals and desire can be a difficult task for some people. This can actually be a headache as the person is unable to decide about their own personality and interests of life (Including me). After attending the counselling session with Sherene Aftab I was able to get a clear mind about what i wanted with my life and about myself. She made the session very casual so that i will feel comfortable, which helped me to share my problem and queries easily . The way she understands ones problem and try to rectify and help without judging is really appreciable. After my counselling with her I got to know about my pros and cons. She understood me as person and helped me to a get the idea about how to pursue my career from now so that i will be happy with the job and be able to excel at that. For me this was really a fantastic experience which I will definitely remember for a lifetime.

Thank you so much Sherene, You have pushed me everytime I wanted to give up! I love the way you give your heart and soul to me and how Important it is for you to make sure if I reach our goal. Sherene is THE BEST LISTENER and great at her work. I love to talk to you and I just get so much better after meeting you. You are always very helpful.Very compassionate and very very kind.I love her work, she helped me nail at an interview which I did and I am so Happy to have you.

Sherene Aftab is a great listener. Thats what makes her such a great counsellor! She really listens, understands your problems and empathizes with you. Her solutions urge you to deeply introspect and hence understand yourself better. She takes steps to help you understand where you are coming from and what you need to do to bring about a change in the outcome. The power of change lies in you hands-thats what she stands by. She has been my agony aunt for a few years and I would happily recommend her and her consultancy to anyone in need for a new perspective.

Sherene is a very good counselor. I would highly recommend her for parents looking forward for guidance on career counseling for teenagers. Sherene was excellent and her inputs and observations were very convincing. I personally felt that Sherene knew everything about my son as I knew about him as a mother. Simply, because she turned those hours of counseling for my son into knowing his strengths and weakness in a positive way. Sherene made my son realize its all fine to have weaknesses which can be worked on and turned into his future strengths.

With so many counsellors being there, finding the right one is so very crucial. One of the first things that you realize about Sherine and talking to her is how open, warm she is. While at the same time what youre seeking is professional help, she makes the conversation so very engaging that it makes you want to speak to her more. Like she said, shes walking right with us in this journey, its only once your session is done that you realize how refreshing it was. Yes, we have to recover, repair and improve all by ourselves, but having Sherine by our side is a gear we could really do with.

Mrs. Sherene Aftab is not only a great career councilor but also a very generous person. She accepted our invitation for live session on Post-Covid Job Opportunities. Maam answered all the queries of people who wrote to us in our live session. Within an hour she gave so many valuable suggestions that people asked us to record and saved the live session. At the end Sherene maam also shared the insights that she, as an expert, thought are important. This is more than we asked for. We dont think anyone could have done so much voluntarily. Thanks a lot maam! We will definitely give your reference and spread the word about your consultancy. Wish you all the best for your work! We wish more and more people to get benefited by your expertise.

I have been able to calm the inner turmoil and find strength to keep moving forward in a very difficult time in my life with her support. You have helped me to learn that it is the negative and the positive experiences in life that shape the person that I am and that I don’t need to be afraid or ashamed of the negative. I am able to confront the negative self talk and work through to a place of strength. I really appreciate your ability to listen deeply and to help me control the whirlwind that has been going through my mind throughout this trying time in my life. It is truly a lifeline.

Had a very nice session with Sherene. She listens patiently and gives the best logical solutions. Was happy with how she made me derive the right solution rather than telling me that directly. I would highly recommend her to all who need any type of career councilling or counselling in general.

The number of stars arent enough to rate Serene Hour. She was very empathetic, logical and receptive while providing a career path. She asks the right questions that helps you look inwards for the answers youve been searching for. I highly recommend Serene Hour if youre looking for a direction in life.

I found the session(s) to be immensely helpful. Sherene maam is a genuinely good counsellor. Shes a psychologist, so her take on things is intuitive and hits the right notes in the right manner. She doesnt employ generic means like algorithm and software based tests. Its a personal approach. And thats reassuring. Its also convincing because she doesnt straight up announce the conclusion/advice, she helps you get there on your own, with her support.She asks the right questions and it all just starts to flow and adds up and makes sense.All in all, I had a pretty serene hour. 🙃Thankyou maam!

Very different from what you expect from a career counselor. Typically you get a questionnaire and you receive a very generic answer. Sherene really listens to you and helps you dig deep within yourself. She essentially guides you and somehow you reach a conclusion on your own. She made quite a few valid points which rang true and pointed out a few issues that I was subconsciously avoiding. I came out with renewed hope and hopefully what will be the first step in the right direction.

I found Serene Hour website by a mere stroke of luck and intuitively felt a positive vibe from it. Because I had never attended a counselling session before, I felt very hesitant. I decided to take a leap of faith and follow my instincts and booked an appointment with Sherene mam.What I felt at the session was calmness. I felt the same calm and positive vibe from Sherene Mam when I met her. Her calm and gentle demeanor, her efforts at making me feel at ease helped me open up like I never thought I would to another person. This was the first time ever that I spent 2 hours talking about myself. My problems and frustrations were not cast aside as imaginary or unnecessary! I felt validated and safe. She helped me channelize my emotions and thoughts. She helped me feel at peace.On my way back home I felt a calmness like never before. My mind wasn’t racing a 100 different thoughts. I felt content. I am surely visiting her again if I ever need her. She is the best. Thank you so much for this wonderful session.

A comprehensive and detailed analysis by sherene mam helped my daughter to have a clear picture of her future line of studies. She devotes her time and efforts to the fullest .Absolutely worth the fees.

The session was an amazing experience. The best part was that there were a lot of things in my mind regarding future career options, whether to do a post graduation or work etc which the session helped me streamline and reach to a decision.

I was confused with my career options. Was diverted into many fields. Being here i got my base cleared. She does it step by step and will make sure you are clear with the decision you make. Best part about her is that you yourself get a clarity that what you want to do about your career. Thanks once again.

Went there seeking guidance for my career options and ended up not only getting a clearer picture about my career but also solutions to my personal life problems.Shell try covering all your problems in a session (or more if needed) and doesnt try to stretch them unnecessarily, unlike some therapists.Shes truly a professional, down to earth, comforting, has excellent listening skills (which every therapist/councilor should have, obviously).Overall, the therapy session with her was a refreshing break, which indeed gave me hope and a way to go about my problems.

Sherene understands the root cause of the issue and addresses the same very effectively. She takes time to understand all aspects of the situation and guides using the most holistic approach. Her career guidance really helped me get a kickstart further.

Maam is a very good counsellor. She resolved all my career related hesitations patiently and she helped me feel confident in my abilities. She made me realize that its okay to have feelings of fear and hesitation, that they are natural. But I must not let those feelings get over me. The way she calmed me and helped me with my doubts, I will never forget. I went to her for career counselling and also ended up attending her focused communication and self esteem booster workshop. It is excellent, a must attend.

I was very confused about my career and went to her for career guidance after I spoke to her I have a clear picture in my head about what I want to do ahead and helped me answer questions about certain professions I did not even realise existed. If you need any career guidance she’s the one to go to

I would highly recommend taking Stress relief through Art Therapy by Serene Hour if you really want to know your inner self and let out your emotions, feel relieved and find inner peace. It helped me focus on what I am and what i should be doing in my life path. Talking to Ms.Sherene is assured you aren’t judged and you feel relaxed when you find the solutions from within yourself. All her therapies and workshops hv been highly inspirational. Thank you for letting me know myself and to calm me down.

I felt happy about myself when i left. And i dont think theres anything more important than that in the end. Could really connect to her and confide in her. She made sure to make it as comfort as she could to connect to you and address the real issue inside out. Thankyou Maam.

I am from Assam and I had my career counselling over a phone call as we were amidst a national lockdown due to do covid-19 pandemic and also I had to immediately decide my career because as soon as the lockdown was over I had to start off with class 11. My experience of counselling was just great and after the counselling all my doubt and queries were all clear. I was not even charged for the counselling as maam Sherene just as generously believed to have not done true justice to the counselling as she could not conduct my aptitude and personality test. Despite all this I feel like I am satisfied with the decision and also she paid her full attention to my interests and asked me many questions and tried to conclude from the discussion the suitable stream for me. Really it was a top class counselling experience with just sitting at home. I am very grateful and thankful to maam for her guidance and support and her super willingness to help me without even charing me. Thank you maam.

Its amazing how you can dive deep inside your mind with someones help! Ms. Aftab did the exact same thing. One of the best 2 hours I could have ever spent on knowing myself. Its okay to be entangled deep within your own thoughts, beliefs, fears and dreams. You will always find a way to make yourself free from those clutches. Serene hour did the same for me! Highly recommended.P.s. It really is a Serene hour well spent, as the name suggests

Dont think twice, contact her right away. Im sure she understands like no one can. Shes the guide you need and you can trust.

I had a great experience, got a clear view of how my approach should be in my career. Couldnt have found a better counselor. Sherene maam had very insightful ideas and i am sure in future I can reach out to her without hesitation.

Very polite and understanding !

She is a listener, definitely puts your heart and mind at ease. And she will try her best to help you out. A lot of feedback is given by her which helps in thinking from a better perspective, would definitely recommend, it is a ‘serene hour’ indeed.

She is approachable and friendly. My son opened up like a top as soon as she spoke to him. Looking forward to seeing you again in a few years time sherene maam! God bless.

She became the guiding light for me when I had no door to knock in. She understood me very well and gave answer to all my queries in my own words, which I believe is the best thing. If anybody needs a healthy enlightening conversation relating to personal or professional life she is the go to person undoubtedly.

Mrs. Sherene is an excellent career counselor. She not only helped my daughter with her concerns about her career options, but she also very patiently answered all our doubts. Without doubt she is insightful. I would highly recommend her.

Serene Hour is the perfect place to help you with your confusions, whether related to career or personal life.Sherene maam is a genuine person and a true professional. She empathetically understands your problems, asks the right questions to help you get to the root of those problems and develop a practical plan of action to deal with them.Dont be hesitant to give it a shot :)

Shes a great counselor!! Would suggest everyone to go here. Very patient and solved all my doubts!! Would recommend a 100%

My cousin has finished her graduation and was confused as to which field to choose..I had recommended her to visit Shereen at Serene Hour and she was happy and satisfied with the guidance and counselling provided by Shereen.

I decided to visit Serene Hour after reading reviews of two of their clients- one on quora and one on Serene Hours Facebook page. Both of these reviews were very thorough and throughout positive. So I recommend if you want to visit this place, first go through the reviews available to understand the process that takes place during first session.My decision to visit this consultancy was mainly because of a career dilemma. In the two hours that I was there, Sherene and I discussed ho I should be going about my career. But we didnt just stop there; as she helped me understand the fact that my career concerns were not just related to my academics or the job that I am at right now, but it also has to do with some aspects of my personal life. From the questions that she asked me and the things that we discussed together, I could gauge that she really has the understanding of the turmoil of thoughts that one might have in their head. And the way she helps you get out of this turmoil is not magic; it is a slow process mostly spanning over a period of two hours and its all worth your time as well as money.

I went to sherene mam for career counselling. As a working professional, I felt very dissatisfied and depressed with my current job. I needed help in working out doable career options. Sherene mam didn’t give any arbitrary advices. In fact she was very insightful. She empowered me to talk and express myself, helped me discover myself and what was important to me. She asked me questions that reconnected me to the parts of my life that I didn’t even know were impacting me. After the career counselling session I felt content, peaceful and I felt that I had a career plan that I could follow. Serene hour is genuinely the best career counselling centre for adults. Sherene mam truly is the best counsellor ever. She understood me and my problems like no one ever had. In the entire session with her I never felt that she gave me any advices and I still felt that I have a path and solutions that I could follow! Not once did I feel misunderstood or judged. Not once in the session did I feel rushed or my time wasted unnecessarily.Thank you so much for helping me. I hope you continue showing the light and the path to everyone else always. God bless you

Soft skills development...These sessions during my college used to be little boring but after Sherene Maam started this session i used to love attending it. She is best go to person as she understand very well between the lines. The session on Personality Development and C.V writing were the best. Writing a C.V was a difficult task but she made me go through it easily. The best mantra of her is to have self confidence in every endeavours of life. She is a very motivating person and full of life.She has helped me a lot in improving my presentation skills as well. She does not only found mistakes but also gives a way on how to overcome it. She is d best person i have ever met .Thanks Maam for always being there !Kavita Gupta

Sherene really listens to the problems and identifies the core causes.She emphazises on quick yet simple solutions that has proved quite helpful and effective.Thank you Sherene for getting me back on track with my focus areas.

Sherene maam is one of the most wonderful person Ive ever met. Right from the SSDC sessions in class, to the lectures, workshops, she have been amazingly wonderful. She is filled with Positivity & kindness!!! Mam your words give me patience, courage & hope to try. Thankyou so very much for todays amazing workshop. PROUD & GLAD to be your studentSana Khan

Serene hour is honestly a very helpful career counseling centre. Sherene was very helpful in helping my brother understand his inhibition and what are his options and strengths. She was a very delightful person, definitely recommend her.

With Sherene Maam, there will always be enough patience for all your issues and she will make sure she understands you better with every minute. Never thought I would laugh during therapy. Really thankful!

Confident During the Interview:This was an amazing session taken by you Maam. I felt confident at the time of interview,which is a must.It was an eye to eye contact and discussion session. I learnt many new ideas to present myself, if any required, for any other interviews.I also learnt, and I am obliged of you that, whenever you go for any interview, personal attitude with proper dressing sense is a must. And now I take this point in my mind every time I step out.Thanks for the learning interview session!!

As a parent I felt so much stress I wanted to help my daughter pick the right choice for herself, but we really didnt know how. Our only sources of information about career choices were friends, family or google! But it all still didnt make sense and we still felt unsure. We came across SereneHour and decided to give them a try.Mrs Sherene understood by daughter so much I (her mother) does. My daughters feedback about her sessions was that she was thoroughly engaged all throughout the session. She understood herself and her aspirations better, she felt more sure of her career options after the counselling sessions at SereneHour.I am definitely recommending the career counselling at SereneHour and Sherene Aftab is a gem.

Gained clarity of my past mistakes & goals I should thrive for in future. It was great talking to you

Ms. Aftab is excellent at understanding a particular person & able to judge the deficiencies or strengths within an individual. She came across as patient, very friendly and humble. Relatively, I have visited most reputed psychologists in Mumbai & my far, she would surely be my first recommendations. She is calm and able to bring productive inputs wrt growth & development of an individual.

I would highly recommend for counselling from SERENE Madam.She takes 1 to 1 question-answers session.

It was fun knowing my self and recognising the things I had missed and forgotten about my self. The whole session helped me to bring my self back into form and solve things accordingly. It felt mentally fresh and mentally open for the solutions to the problems I was facing at that period of time .Thank you very much maam

Prof.Sherene Aftab-Initially I just knew she is new professor to our college.But Never knew a professor can be an amazing counsellor too...I remembered the SSDC sessions conducted by you were so interesting that never felt like bunking those sessions after boring lectures.As of now faced many ups and downs but the best counselling ever received is from you.I was going through the bad phase of my life which I never told her upfrontly but she herself figured it out that something is wrong & that day... that one to one conversation with her was like the best thing ever.I could actually figure out things differently & it really it worked out well.After that as well even if today I repeat those mistake I still remember the things u told me & that give me enough confidence to be real me. The best thing is Nobody in todays world try to improve others life in this materialistic world but you do it with nothing in favor or return....Maam thank u so much for all your guidance & support.Truly an Amazing Counsellor plus Professor.A student is truly blessed to have both in one person.🙂🙂🙂

I had a great experience with you. You made me realise my strengths and increased my confidence a lot. I thank to god that i met you before arriving at any decision. You are one of the sweetest person i’ve ever met. Thankyou so much and keep helping people🤗

She really understands you and your experience to give a thoughtful solution, more like a path to a solution which you still have to figure out on your own.

I know a loved one whom serene help change. A self transforming experience

Sherene Aftab, is a thoroughly professional counsellor. She understands the needs of individual clients and gave me personalised counselling. Thanks to my counselling sessions with her I felt empowered to make changes in my life. Thank you @SereneHour.

A awesome mentor, listner and a good soul,Sherene maam is an extremely knowledgeable person. If you need any kind of professional guidance or councelling then do visit Serene Hour and meet Sherene maam.Thanks alot Serene Hour for a wonderful couple of hours.

It was a really nice experience ...I came to know myself better and Sherene Ma’am is really a sweetheart ...go to her without any doubt 💓

“Accept life as it comes your way- Do not go against it !”Battling against the evils of Job Stresses, Sherene lead me to being the disciple of “Being One of the Kind” to get accepted among colleagues. Sherene has always guided me from the very start. She possesses a very strong power to read between the lines, silent for a moment and then with the simplest words, she brought great and positive effect on my life. My good wishes and blessings for her, always. Thank you Sherene !!!You are worth every bit of this positive review for you.

Informative and helpful for me. Also fee is pretty reasonable, i got what i paid for.

Sherene, I liked the way you provided guidance, I got to know myself better through our intersection. Thank you.

Most of my daughters doubts were cleared on just 1 session with sherene . Thank you so much.

Sherene is a professional counsellor, with sound knowledge of her field, attended her career guidance session which was very informative, looking forward to more such sessions.

Mam had helped me to excel in verbal and nonverbal communications.She provides valuable insights.Also she explores new paths, procedures and approaches and develops creative solutions to the problems .

Maam from you only I have learned importance of effective conversations like if i want to get something done perfectly the way I want it to be, i have to be very clear when I am explaining the quality of output. I must be able to describe thing’s very clearly in order for them to be perfectly executed. At same time i have to exhibit the best of my soft skills to get the best out of people. With a bit of encouragement and good choice of words I can make people go for that extra mile to help me. And yes there are people who are into sales and marketing so this quality to impress them with soft skills is more than other areas of work. Because the clients or potential customers may not be impressed the very first time we present an idea to them. this is what I have learned from you thank yoo much fir everything you did for me and my class

Serene hour has been really helpful for me for finalizing my career option. One who is is not sure which course to take serene hour will definitely help.

The counseling done here has been extremely helpful to my daughter in sorting out her career choices..the demons of confusion are no longer hovering over her head. Thanks Sheree Aftab .

Helps me a lot.
