A Powerful Combination of Academic Depth and Practical Care
- Professor and Mentor: She has extensive experience teaching and guiding students for many competitive exams for Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses. She knows exactly what examiners look for and how to turn complex concepts into clear, exam-ready answers.
- Clinical Practitioner: She runs her own private clinic under the banner "Beautiful Mind & Soul" in Pune. Her clinical work covers a wide range of cases, including stress, trauma, behavioural issues, career confusion, and developmental challenges in children.
- Counselling and Social Work: Her early work included serving as a counsellor with the Directorate of Women & Child Development and the All India Women’s Conference, giving her profound insight into real-world challenges.
The Vision Behind Confidante Psychology Academy
Dr. Kandolkar founded this academy because she saw the common struggles students face: inconsistent quality, a lack of flexibility, and a deep need for personalized attention.
“My goal is not just to teach psychology, but to empower the whole student—to build their resilience, clarify their career decisions, and strengthen their self-understanding.”
She personally designed this online platform to bridge those gaps:
- Accessibility and Quality: She personally delivers every lecture, ensuring consistent, high-quality teaching that students can access anywhere, anytime.
- Mentoring & Exam Strategy: Her academic insight helps students master not just the content, but the crucial exam strategy and answer-writing skills needed for competitive success.
- Holistic Support: Her counselling background means she recognizes when a student is struggling with confidence, motivation, or mental blocks. This is why she integrates mentoring and separate online counselling into the academy’s offerings—to support the student as a whole person.
