Mrs Amala Solomon, MA

Relationship Therapist

“I'm a Counselling Psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families overcome anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and emotional challenges. By combining CBT, Art Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches, I tailor every session to your unique needs—so you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.”

About Me

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, or life transitions can be difficult—but you don't have to face it alone. I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, gain clarity, and create meaningful change. My approach is personalised, integrating evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with creative modalities such as Art Therapy, recognising that sometimes feelings are easier to express beyond words. As a Counselling Psychotherapist, CBT Therapist, Couple and Family Therapist, Career Counsellor, Self-Hypnosis Practitioner, Art Therapist, and NLP Practitioner, I tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you build resilience, strengthen relationships, and move towards lasting emotional well-being.

Approach

I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and tailored to you. Whether through conversation, creative expression, or practical strategies, I help you explore difficult emotions, understand unhelpful patterns, and build healthier ways of coping. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on meaningful, lasting change. Drawing on my expertise as a Counselling Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), Couple and Family Therapist, Career Counsellor, Art Therapist, Self-Hypnosis Practitioner, and NLP Practitioner, I integrate evidence-based and creative approaches to meet your unique needs. Sessions are available in Chennai or online, in English or Tamil, for individuals, couples, and families seeking greater emotional well-being, stronger relationships, and a more balanced life.
