Shipra

Ms Shipra Parswani

Counseling Psychologist

“I'm a trauma informed and queer affirmative therapist. I have an eclectic approach where I use different techniques depending on whats comfortable for you! I also have a person centered and unstructured approach which means that my session planning is based on your needs! I also practice EMDR for traumatic experiences.”

About Me

I provide a welcoming space where you can openly explore your experiences, especially if you identify as queer or are processing trauma. Our work together is truly person-centred, meaning sessions are shaped entirely by your comfort and needs. I can integrate techniques like EMDR for traumatic experiences, always ensuring our approach feels right for you. This flexible, responsive environment helps you navigate challenges and find stability at your own pace.

Approach

That approach translates into sessions that follow your lead, where pacing, regular check-ins and practical options are chosen with your comfort in mind. I offer in-person work in Mumbai and online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, so we can keep things accessible and grounded. Sessions often mix gentle processing, stabilisation practices and targeted EMDR when trauma feels ready, with space to explore queer identity and relationship patterns between meetings if you want. People who prefer a collaborative, low‑pressure pace tend to find this helpful.
