Services

Have done my Master's in Clinical Psychology and have been trained to deal with a range of cases including anxiety, stress management, depression, relationship concerns, anger management, career conflicts, work stress, etc. I have had the chance to deal with such cases independently and also under supervision by senior psychologists in the last couple of years. My main works lie with adults, adolescents; either working or studying. I have had experiences working with various corporates as a part of their employee assistance and mental health programs. I follow a client-centered approach wherein I rely on their strengths and workout methods to make them more efficient in dealing with their concerns.
