About Me

As a doctor with a passion for psychology, I offer a unique, informed perspective. My approach blends clinical understanding with compassionate psychological support. Drawing on my research background, I help you explore concerns and gain clarity. We can use practical techniques, including insights from NLP, to navigate challenges. Clients value my grounded style, finding a space where medical knowledge meets dedicated psychological care.

Approach

My sessions translate clinical insight into clear, practical steps you can try between meetings, with attention to pacing, safety and measurable small changes. Based in Chennai, I offer in-person and online work in English, Tamil or Telugu so we can fit therapy into your life. Sessions blend focused present-moment practices, values-based choices and brief evidence-informed exercises tailored to abuse, anxiety, sexual concerns, mood shifts or burnout, with room for reflection and gentle experimentation. This way of working often helps people seeking pragmatic, research-rooted support.
