Mrs Ritika Sajwan, MSc

Counseling Psychologist

“As a compassionate counselor, I empower individuals to explore their unique experiences, overcome challenges, and grow towards healing and fulfillment. I create a supportive, non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves and become more self-aware .”

About Me

I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where you can truly be yourself. Here, we can openly explore your unique experiences, helping you gain clarity and new perspectives. Many find this process invaluable for understanding themselves better and navigating difficult emotions. If you are seeking genuine support to build inner resilience, my compassionate approach can help. Together, we can move towards lasting well-being.

Approach

Sessions move at your pace, gently mapping patterns and strengths so we can address anxiety, relationship strains, conduct concerns or effects of abuse with clear steps. I offer in-person work in Dehradun and secure online sessions in English or Hindi/Urdu, adapting pacing for adults, children or groups. We use brief mindfulness practices, practical between-session experiments and collaborative goal-setting to shift habits, relieve stress and rebuild confidence. Those feeling overwhelmed by mood swings, burnout or difficult relationships often find this steady, pragmatic way of working helpful.
