Mr Aarun M

Therapist / Counselor (Qualifying)

Greetings. Budding Counselor / Therapist with over 100+ Hrs. of working with adult clients. My practice is built on strengthening the strengths in an individual through pillars of responsibility, accountability and communication integrated with my skills and elements schools of CBT, TA, Gestalt and mindfulness.

About Me

As a budding counsellor with over 100 hours of experience, I support adults ready to cultivate their inner resources. My approach helps you strengthen your strengths, focusing on responsibility, accountability, and clear communication. We integrate practical tools from CBT, TA, Gestalt, and mindfulness. For instance, we can explore mindfulness techniques to ground you. Clients seeking a collaborative space to build personal agency will find our work meaningful and practical.

Approach

By focusing on your capacities, therapy unfolds as practical skill-building that pairs gentle exploration with clear structure to help you try things out between sessions. Sessions in Chennai or online, in English, Hindi/Urdu or Tamil, are paced to your needs—brief check-ins, focused experiments, and reflective tasks you can use day-to-day. I blend role-work, behavioural experiments and mindfulness-based grounding to help you notice patterns, test new responses and strengthen everyday habits tied to responsibility and honest communication. This approach suits people facing relationship shifts, stress or transitional moments.
