“Coming to therapy is no small feat. If you’ve found yourself here, you’re likely feeling that already. Things may feel especially loud or scary—. So I want to acknowledge your courage for taking this first step. My goal is to create a safe space where you can simply be yourself—to say things out loud that may have felt hard to admit, even to yourself. Some arrive to therapy with a clear sense of what has led them here. Others don’t know where to begin. That’s okay. This space is here for exactly that. You don’t need to have it all figured out—this space will meet you where you are.”
About Me
I’m Ria (she/her), a Counselling Psychologist. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with people from different walks of life in various capacities—as a Crisis Responder, Mentor, Tutor, and Counsellor.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia, Canada.
After living abroad for eight years, I’ve recently moved back to India. Living in multicultural spaces has deeply shaped my work and reminded me that, at the core, most of us want the same things: to be seen, validated, and not judged.
Approach
I work with adolescents, young adults, and professionals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or their lives. Clients often come in navigating anxiety, intrusive thoughts, decision paralysis, childhood wounds, burnout, identity confusion, or emotional numbness.
While my approach is eclectic-which implies that i draw from different modalities, I find myself coming back time and again to narrative therapy. Narrative Therapy reminds us that the "problem" is the problem and NOT the person, thereby reclaiming a sense of identity. When the problem feels overpowering, we see it as a part of us-an omnipresent force, that seems irreversible, and that's where a therapist comes in, to gently guide one to be able to rewrite their story.
