About Me

This psychotherapist supports adolescents and adults navigating life's distresses, relationship challenges, anxiety, grief, and sadness. With over ten years' experience, they offer an eclectic approach, prioritising humanistic and existential techniques. This enables clients to explore deeper meaning and find clarity.

Approach

Sessions feel like careful mapmaking: we name what’s unsettling, trace patterns, and decide on small, steady steps that fit your life. From my Kolkata office or in online sessions in English or Hindi/Urdu, I hold a calm, focused space where pace is set by you and homework or short exercises are used when helpful. I blend practical skill-building with deeper meaning-making so thoughts, feelings and choices connect. People facing relationship strain, anxiety, grief or crossroads often find this approach clarifying and energising.
