About us

Grounded in science.
Built to help people grow.

Historically, the psychotherapeutic mainstream was dominated by traditions that were largely subjective, interpretive and improvisational. Around the mid-twentieth century that began to change: CBT and REBT emerged as extensively researched, evidence-based, structured and skill-based methods — recommended in treatment protocols for most common mental health conditions, and just as valuable for everyday rational thinking and personal growth. CT-R and MBCT are the specialised evolutions in this cognitive behavioural tradition.

That's a genuine opportunity for the workplace. Organisations can now draw on these frameworks directly — through the science itself, applied to real, everyday work.

Recolere exists to make that connection.

Diagram of the cognitive model: three linked circles labelled Thoughts, Emotions and Behaviours, each connected to the others by two-way arrows.
recolere
Latin · verb

to cultivate afresh; to reconsider, reflect upon, or revisit.

It's the actual mechanism at work: beliefs, habits and reactions that feel fixed are, in fact, revisable — reconsidered and retrained.

The science behind that claim is neuroplasticity, the brain's lifelong capacity to rewire. The name is simply what we help people do with it.

The practitioners

Who's behind this:
practitioners in both worlds.

Recolere is founded by three practitioners who came at the same gap from different directions — two clinicians who have each spent about a decade and a half inside the cognitive behavioural tradition, and one who has built his career inside business itself: as a product manager, a startup founder and CEO, and a key account manager across industries.

Founding Partner

Trainer · Business Consultant · CBT/REBT Practitioner

Akash is a CBT Practitioner (Beck Institute, USA) and REBT Practitioner. His business background spans product management at a Big Four consulting firm, founding and running a healthcare venture as CEO, operations management and key account management in the manufacturing and export industry. He has an MBA from the Welingkar Institute of Management, Mumbai. His operating experience keeps the practice's content practical — built for what actually works inside an organization.

Support continues beyond the workshop room — through a network of qualified CBT/REBT psychotherapists.

What we deliver in the room is psychoeducation and skills training — evidence-based frameworks and practical techniques for everyday work situations. There is no diagnosis, no treatment and no clinical screening.

Some needs sit outside a workshop's scope, though. For organisations that include it, employees get confidential 1:1 access to these psychotherapists after the workshop — a separate service, offered entirely on the employee's own terms.
