Psychotherapist
“Psychotherapist & Human Development expert with 20+ yrs of experience. I offer CBT-based counseling & life skills workshops for all age groups. Passionate about emotional wellness, I also create mental health content for early childhood & advocate for holistic, empowering care.”
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
Working with me blends practical skill-building and gentle reflection so you leave each session with a small, usable step. I meet clients in Bengaluru and online, offering support in English, Hindi/Urdu or Tamil, and I pace sessions to suit families, individuals and couples alike. We practice short experiments, reshape unhelpful thinking, and build routines between meetings so progress feels measurable and manageable. This way of working tends to suit people navigating transitions, stress or relationship shifts who want hands-on tools and steady guidance.
