Psychotherapist

“Psychotherapist with 20+ years of experience in counselling, human development and mental health. I offer client-centred, CBT-based therapy for emotional, relationship and life challenges, helping individuals build self-awareness, resilience and practical skills for lasting change.”

About me

With over two decades of experience, I help you cultivate lasting emotional wellness. Through CBT-based Counseling and practical life skills workshops, I offer tailored support for all age groups. My approach focuses on equipping you with concrete tools to navigate life's challenges. If you seek a holistic, empowering path to personal growth, we can work together.

Approach

My approach combines gentle reflection with practical, evidence-based tools, so therapy feels both supportive and useful. Together, we work on understanding patterns, managing emotions, reshaping unhelpful thinking and building healthier routines at a pace that feels manageable for you. I work with individuals, couples and families in Bengaluru and online, offering sessions in English, Hindi/Urdu and Tamil. My approach is particularly suited to those navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges or emotional difficulties who want practical tools along with steady, compassionate guidance.
