Counseling Psychologist

“I specialize in Queer Counseling, Self-Exploration, Anxiety Management, and more. I use CBT, ACT, and elements of existential and gestalt therapies. My approach is Trauma-Informed, Feminist, Queer-Friendly, Sex-Positive, and Kink-Affirmative, adapting modalities to meet clients' unique needs.”

About Me

I offer a warm, safe space for you to truly explore your unique self. Specialising in Queer Counseling, Anxiety Management, and self-exploration, I adapt therapeutic approaches like CBT and ACT. My practice is trauma-informed, feminist, and affirming of all identities, including queer, sex-positive, and kink. This ensures our work genuinely meets your distinct needs. We can navigate challenges together, helping you find greater clarity.

Approach

I hold sessions that move at your pace, pairing practical skill-building with reflective, identity-focused experiments to gently address anxiety, shame and body image. I see adults in Bangalore and online, offering therapy in English and Hindi/Urdu so the work fits your life and language. Sessions mix short structured exercises, gentle exposure, and value-based choices, with simple between-session practices to try and adapt. People seeking clear strategies alongside deeper self-understanding and kinder relationships with themselves often find this way of working helpful.
