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.
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 !

We are extremely grateful for the guidance and support provided by Vidhya throughout our son’s journey. Her advise started right from Class 11, where she first helped him understand whether engineering was the right career path for him based on his interests and aptitude.
Over the next two years, she guided us patiently through branch selection and college choices, giving practical and unbiased advice at every stage. Her clear explanation of options like ECE and Mechatronics, along with insights into different colleges, helped our son make informed decisions with confidence.
What we appreciated most was her genuine involvement and honest guidance. We highly recommend her to students and parents looking for thoughtful career counselling.
