Ms Shakshi Noel, MS

Psychotherapist

“Dedicated to advancing my career and impact in mental health, I represent South Asian women in the field and advocate for accessible, affordable care. I integrate biopsychosocial and medical models and collaborate across services, continually building a competent, ethical, and professional practice.”

About Me

I am a mental health professional based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, specializing in supporting adults and families experiencing abuse, trauma, cross-cultural stress, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, and conduct-related concerns. I provide counselling, trauma-focused interventions, advocacy, and community programmes aimed at strengthening coping skills and fostering safer, healthier relationships.

Approach

You’ll notice a steady, practical rhythm: initial assessment and safety planning moving quickly into skill-building tailored to your cultural and family context. I work online in English or Hindi/Urdu, matching pace to adolescents, adults, families and communities while weaving short between-session tasks and gentle check-ins to keep momentum. I also coordinate with medical providers or community supports when needed so therapy fits your life. This way of working tends to help people navigating trauma, cross-cultural stress and relationship change.
