About Me

As a Certified Counseling Psychologist, I support individuals and families through life's diverse challenges. I help clients explore issues like relationship difficulties, addiction, or children's emotional world. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we can understand thought patterns and develop practical coping skills. My broad training means I can tailor our work, offering a supportive space to find clarity, build resilience, and move forward.

Approach

My training across child, family and addiction work shapes how I structure sessions: focused, paced and practical so we can notice patterns, try small experiments and reflect together. I offer appointments in Guwahati and online, and can work in Bengali, English or Hindi/Urdu to make sure language never blocks clarity. Sessions often combine brief skill practice, gentle exploration of past hurts and targeted homework between meetings to test changes in real life. This way of working tends to suit people seeking steady, practical progress.
