About Me

Drawing on a holistic and unconventional approach, Shankar Thiruchelvam helps individuals navigate trauma, attachment, and boundaries. He empowers clients by providing language and knowledge to unravel complex struggles and nurture personal growth. Sessions aim to equip you with insights and practical tools for lasting change. His experienced, client-centred style particularly suits those seeking a comprehensive way to nurture their well-being.

Approach

Sessions begin with gentle curiosity and steady pacing, attending to what feels alive in your body and relationships. I meet people in Petaling Jaya and online, in English, keeping sessions predictable yet flexible with time for observation, short interventions, and collaborative reflection. We track bodily signals, map relational patterns, and try small boundary experiments, pairing these with brief between-session practices to deepen safety and clarity. This way of working suits those who want practical learning alongside deeper self-understanding.
