Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17:<\/strong> <\/span>As homes across India glow with lamps symbolising prosperity and joy, Another Light Counselling<\/em> is turning its focus toward lighting something even more meaningful \u2014 the human heart. In a unique Diwali initiative, the mental health organisation is offering\u00a0<\/a>six free 30-minute counselling sessions<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to anyone struggling with loneliness, grief, or emotional overwhelm during the festive season.<\/p>\n

For many, Diwali brings happiness, laughter, and connection. But for others, it can amplify feelings of isolation, pressure, or loss. Recognising this emotional contrast, Another Light Counselling\u2019s founder, Aanchal Narang, decided to create a safe and compassionate space for those who may find this time of year especially difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Diwali, we light lamps for prosperity and joy \u2014 but what about the hearts that feel dim?\u201d said Aanchal Narang, Founder and Counsellor at Another Light Counselling. \u201cFestivals often highlight what\u2019s missing. This year, I wanted to do something different \u2014 to keep alive a small tradition of real conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0\u201cLight Within\u201d initiative<\/strong> reflects the organisation\u2019s mission to normalise emotional honesty and provide accessible mental health support. Through these complimentary sessions, Another Light Counselling hopes to remind people that healing begins with connection \u2014 and that no one should have to navigate emotional pain alone.<\/p>\n

The free 30-minute sessions will offer individuals a chance to talk openly about their feelings, decompress from holiday pressures, and rediscover their sense of inner calm. Participants can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment, where the focus is not just on problem-solving, but on genuine human connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe often associate Diwali with external brightness \u2014 decorations, gatherings, celebrations,\u201d. \u201cBut sometimes, the brightest light is the one we find together, in moments of listening and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

This initiative also shines a light on a growing awareness of mental health in India, particularly during culturally significant periods. By weaving empathy and mental wellness into the fabric of a major festival, Another Light Counselling is encouraging a cultural shift \u2014 one that celebrates emotional truth alongside tradition.<\/p>\n
