“An experienced compassionate emphatic Counselling psychologist and a certified career and guidance counsellor specializing in adolescents, children, parents”

About Me

This experienced and compassionate Counseling Psychologist supports adolescents, children, and parents through life's challenges. As a certified career and guidance counsellor, they offer a safe space for young people to explore feelings and navigate future paths. Parents find empathetic support in understanding their children's needs. Sessions gently guide clients to clarify concerns and build resilience. This approach helps families address worries and move forward with confidence.

Approach

Compassionate, focused conversations help uncover what matters most for your child, teen or family and open practical ways forward. I work with you in Chennai and online, offering sessions in English and Hindi/Urdu that move at a gentle, steady pace so younger clients feel heard and parents feel supported. Sessions blend emotion-focused listening, age‑appropriate assessment and simple skill-building, with brief between-session steps to practise changes. Families seeking clear, collaborative support tend to find this approach helpful.
