Dr Smriti Vallath
Psychotherapist
“I am a trauma informed, queer affirmative practitioner, adopting a collaborative-strengths based approach to the treatment of mental illness/mental distress, with 13 years of experience in the field.”
About Me
Approach
My approach to psychotherapy and supervision is grounded in safe spaces. Both ways. My clients are held accuntable if they're disrespectful, just as much as I'm. But that's not where the safety is. Safety lies in he fact that my clients know that even when I hold them accountable, they're never hurt, threatened or abandoned.
If you like technical words- then my approach is rooted in strengths based, feedback-informed, queer affirmative practices. Choice and autonomy is fostered in my sessions.
