Mr Neil Shankar Roy

Counseling Psychologist

I'm a dedicated psychologist committed to using evidence-based therapies to help individuals overcome difficulties, foster resilience, and live fulfilling lives.

About Me

As a psychologist, I offer a supportive space where we can explore challenges together. I guide individuals to understand difficulties and build lasting resilience, drawing on evidence-based therapies. Our sessions focus on practical tools you can use daily to navigate life more confidently. This collaborative approach suits those ready to actively work towards a more fulfilling life. You can find clarity and strength, step-by-step.

Approach

Work here unfolds through focused, paced sessions that move from gentle assessment to hands-on skill building, so challenges feel solvable rather than overwhelming. Whether we meet in Kolkata or online in Bengali, Hindi/Urdu or English, I keep sessions practical and clear, with short between-session tasks and timely feedback to help you notice change. I use structured observation and collaborative problem-solving to track progress, tailor interventions, and address relational or developmental patterns rooted in trauma or conflict. This way of working suits people and families ready for steady, practical steps.
