Ms Alice Maria Elizabeth Francis

Psychologist

“An experienced, competent and compassionate psychologist, therapist & a counsellor working predominantly with typical children and special children's parents.”

About Me

With an M.Sc in Clinical Psychology, I offer a compassionate space. Here, children can explore their feelings, and parents can navigate their child's unique needs. I help families understand complex behaviours and find practical strategies for daily life. My approach is tailored to each child's rhythm, providing guidance that fosters resilience. Parents seeking a supportive, experienced guide will find a trusted partner here.

Approach

I begin sessions by inviting curiosity and calm routines that help children feel safe and parents feel heard. Based in Bengaluru, I work in English, Hindi/Urdu, Kannada and Tamil, keeping appointments focused, practical and culturally attuned. Through playful activities, structured observations and clear feedback, we shape small, manageable steps—parents and children try strategies between meetings and reflect together on what shifts. Families looking for clear, steady collaboration tend to find this pace helpful.
