I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist supporting people (13+) with OCD, phobias, anxiety, and mood-related difficulties. I have a particular interest in the “stickiness” of OCD, particularly how intrusive thoughts, doubt, and compulsions can quietly take over daily life. I offer a thoughtful, collaborative space where we can slow things down, make sense of these patterns, and help you respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings so you can move through the world with more freedom and meaning. Exposure work can feel confronting and messy at times, but we’ll approach it slowly together at a pace that feels manageable.

My approach draws on evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and relational therapy.
Real Support for Broken Relationships, Deep Trauma, and Addiction Recovery
If you are waking up every morning feeling heavy, disconnected from your partner, or exhausted from fighting the same old battles with addiction or trauma, you don't have to navigate this alone. Often, we find ourselves stuck in destructive patterns not because we aren't trying, but because the weight of past pain or current legal and personal crises has simply become too much to carry. I will provide you a with a warm, safe, and collaborative space where we focus entirely on you and unpack what is keeping you trapped to moving forward with practical skills.

Hi, my name is Divya, and I am a registered psychologist with a passion to support and empower individuals in their mental health journey. Our past traumas and experiences shape how we view and interact with the world, often influencing our responses and emotions. Without proper support, we may develop unhelpful coping mechanisms, leading to unresolved pain and making life overwhelming. This can manifest as anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, low self-esteem, etc. With these inner-conflicts, seeking to start understanding yourself better and learning to adopt healthier coping skills is a brave step to transform and heal.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
