Ms Shivani Dadhwal, MSc

Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“I support clients in developing insight, resilience, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others, fostering meaningful, sustainable personal growth and emotional well-being.”

About Me

As a counseling psychologist, I specialize in anxiety, depression, family/relationship issues, workplace and academic stress, loneliness, perfectionism, grief, and trauma. Using evidence-based approaches, I create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space to support healing and mental wellness.

Approach

I guide sessions toward practical, manageable steps that connect with your daily routines and priorities. Whether we meet in Bengaluru or online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, pacing is adjusted around school, work and family commitments so therapy fits your life. We use focused cognitive tools alongside trauma-informed pacing, set small between-session experiments, and gently map relationship and procrastination patterns to build steady momentum. People navigating transitions, burnout or strained relationships often find this steady, skills-focused rhythm helpful.
