Ms Shivani Dadhwal, MSc

Psychologist

Verified

“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.
