“An art therapist and counseling psychologist doing private practice in Chennai for the last 7 years. Have worked with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression and self esteem issues.”
About Me
I help adolescents and adults in Chennai navigate anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. As an art therapist and Counseling psychologist, I offer a unique space to explore complex feelings through creative expression. This approach is especially helpful when words alone feel insufficient, building confidence and clarity. My four years in private practice have shown me the power of this gentle process.
Approach
Years in Chennai taught me to let making guide the talk. I offer sessions in Tamil and English, in person or online, in a calm room where clay, paint and quiet prompts sit beside reflective conversation. Sessions move between short creative tasks, gentle mindfulness and focused talking, with simple practices to try between meetings that build body-awareness, mood regulation and steady self-worth. This way often fits people who find talking alone feels tight and prefer learning through doing and noticing small shifts.
