About Me

This competent and compassionate psychological counsellor provides Queer-informed, trauma-informed, and caste-informed Counseling services. They create a truly safe and inclusive space for individuals to explore their experiences. This specific approach helps clients feel deeply understood. It addresses needs related to identity, past hurts, or social systemic challenges. They also offer workshops, building inclusive environments within organisations.

Approach

Clients tell me the work feels intentionally paced and anchored in safety, with room to name identity, past harms and the social pressures that matter to you. I offer sessions in English and Hindi/Urdu from New Delhi or online, balancing listening with gentle skills—grounding, boundary practice and story‑reframing—that you can try between meetings. For adolescents and adults navigating abuse, relationships, relocation, chronic illness or low mood, we move at a practical, compassionate rhythm that keeps you in control. Many find this steady, respectful way of working helps them notice change.
