Mrs Parimal Pandit, MA

Clinical Psychologist

Verified

An experienced and highly skilled professional trained in the Cognitive and Humanistic schools of psychotherapy. I have been working for the past 25 years with trauma, intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, and school refusal. My fee is Rs 3,500 per session.

About Me

With 25 years of experience, I help individuals navigate challenges like trauma, depression, and anxiety. My approach blends the Cognitive and Humanitarian Schools of Psychotherapy, offering a space where you can explore your experiences deeply. I support clients in understanding past influences, such as intergenerational trauma, and finding practical ways forward. Parents of children struggling with school refusal can also find tailored support here. I am currently practicing in Chennai as well as in Pune.

Approach

Sessions begin with focused listening and clear, practical steps that balance thought work with humane attention to family and life stories. We move at a measured pace, short cognitive experiments, stabilising techniques when needed, and reflective tasks between sessions, to build safety and new patterns for children, adolescents and adults.
