About Me

I support individuals experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, and relationship issues. Drawing on approaches like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, I help you understand and address unhelpful thought patterns. We will work together to explore your experiences. Together, we can find practical strategies that bring more ease and clarity to your daily life. My aim is to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood.

Approach

Sessions focus on gently noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours, then trying small, practical steps that connect with what matters to you. I offer face-to-face sessions in Chennai and online in English or Tamil, keeping meetings focused, paced to your needs, and often pairing short between-session practices with what we explore together. Expect clear tracking of what helps, occasional experiments to test new ways of responding, and regular check-ins on values and progress. This approach often suits people navigating transitions, stress or relationship strain.
