About Counsellor:
With a deep commitment to helping people find meaningful careers, I, Dr. Vidhya Thakkar, founder of Career Genesys, bring a unique blend of academic excellence, practical experience, and empathetic guidance. I hold a Doctorate in Career Psychology and advanced qualifications in Human Resources Management, Training & Development, and Psychological Counselling. I am also a Certified Mental Health First Aider and a Certified Learning & Development Professional.
Since 2016 I have guided students and professionals through career decisions and transitions, drawing on 25 years as an academician and extensive training experience with executives across industries at different stages of their careers. My approach blends scientific insight, practical experience, and empathy. I tailor guidance to each person’s strengths, values, goals, and circumstances because one size does not fit all. At Career Genesys, my aim is to help you discover a career path that truly aligns with who you are.
Dr. Vidya has been an incredible guide and source of support for my children during an important crossroads after Grade 10, when they were uncertain about which path to pursue. Through her detailed assessments, both my children gained valuable clarity about their strengths, interests, and the career options best suited for them.
Her guidance brought confidence and direction at a crucial stage in their academic journey. I have also recommended Dr. Vidya to many of my friends’ children, and they too have found her sessions extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Dr. Vidya to parents seeking clarity and direction for their children as they plan their future path.

I had consulted dr vidhya Thakkar for career guidance for both my children. Found her to be extremely caring, involved and knowledgeable... especially with the modern generation. She has a knack of getting through to them and understanding their likes and needs and creating a very positive influence in their lives. Highly recommended.

Vidya Maam is truly one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. She has a remarkable ability to connect with children and positively influence their lives. Her constant support, guidance, and encouragement make her an exceptional mentor. She has played a significant role in helping both of my children choose the right career paths, and her expertise and dedication are truly admirable.

We got in touch with Vidhya maam at the right time. We were exploring career options for our elder daughter after her X grade. Ever since that time Vidhya maam has been the career coach for both our kids. One thing I noticed is that kids are more convinced about the career options because maam approaches them with lots of facts and data and above all conviction. We have benefitted a lot from our engagement with Vidhya maam. Another point to mention…especially when we could really see the difference is in my younger ones case we were very undecided on which stream to choose after the kid finished X grade. Vidhya maam quickly looked back into her notes and recollected some points about the kid that she had noted in a different context in the past. Using these points she could engage with the kid and guide her well. Thank you maam for your guidance.

I & my spouse, Dinesh Soni, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the incredible guidance and support Dr. Vidya has given to our son throughout his academic and career journey. In the growing years of our son, Vidya - as teacher, and later during important milestones of his career journey, Vidya - as a mentor & counsellor, she has always encouraged him to believe in himself and strive for his best.
Her understanding of his personality, strengths, and aspirations allowed her to guide him with genuine care and honesty. What makes her guidance truly special is the warmth, affection & patience with which she has always supported him in every situation - whether it was helping him navigate difficult choices, motivating him during uncertain times, or simply being there with thoughtful advice !
She understands the pulse of the current generation and hence our son and his friends are able to connect with her so well. In fact they are more close to her than us. And following the path of our elder son, our younger one is also looking up to Dr. Vidya for his career advice.
We know Dr. Vidya personally - She is not just a great teacher and counsellor, she is a wonderful human being too. She is a perfect blend of knowledge, practicality, spirituality, yet so humble and grounded. We take pride in knowing Dr. Vidya closely and the above few words are just not enough to express the magnitude of impact she has had in our lives. Wishing her the best always !
