About Me
Approach
FIRST SESSION
The first session is mainly about talking in depth and understanding what brought you to therapy. By the end of the session I will be giving you a brief outline about the therapy plan and how ca n it help you and we will set some goals.
APPROACH
My therapeutic approach is holistic , eclectic and client-centered. It involves meeting you where you are, collaboratively identifying your needs, and devising a tailored plan to reach your goals.
I value your unique experiences, identities, and cultural context, and tailor my approach to best support your needs, goals, and strengths.
I integrate my extensive experience in both evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/ ACT/ CPT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (Individual, Couple & Family) and mindfulness based meditation practices to let your mind heal in tandem with your body so that you experience every impulse, emotion and thought freely.
Together, we'll address the learning and unlearning of behaviors, habits, and thought patterns that influence mental health and coping.
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.
Services
Hi I am Snehal. I am a practicing Counselling Psychologist with over 10+ years of extensive experience. I have pursued my M.A in Counseling psychology from Pune and I am member of BHARTIYA ASSOCIATION OF COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGISTS.
We all know that pain in life is unavoidable, but I'd love to help you carry that burden while we work towards solutions.
I aim to create a space where you will not be judged, but will be unconditionally supported as we navigate through your concerns and fears.I believe that you are the expert on your life, and will bring my expertise in therapy to collaboratively find the relief and the balance that you seek. There is no "magic wand" that works for everyone so my goal is to work with you to find what works for you specifically.
If you're not sure where to start, worried about being judged or just not sure about therapy in general, please reach out! I am happy to meet you for a free 10 mins consultation and make sure you find the right fit.
I take online sessions and offline sessions in Pune & Bangalore .
