Hello, thank you for being here.
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you're exhausted from holding it all together - professionally achieving but emotionally drained, showing up for everyone else but struggling to show up for yourself.
Maybe you're stuck in relationship patterns you promised you'd never repeat. Maybe you're parenting from wounds instead of wisdom. Maybe you've achieved everything "right" but still feel empty inside.
I help professionals and working parents heal the roots of their struggles, not just manage the symptoms.

You may feel caught in a relationship that has grown fragile or tense, shaped by repeated arguments, emotional distance, betrayal, infidelity, or the gradual erosion of trust. You may still care deeply about your partner, yet wonder whether the relationship can heal without losing important parts of yourself. Family pressure, cultural expectations, or loyalty conflicts may also be placing ongoing strain on your partnership.

In my sessions, I will support you through a psychotherapeutic approach according to your needs.

"I did not change, I just woke up" (Anonymous). At some point in your life, you can be stuck in a rut and hungry to move forward and find something (be it a personal issue, work, relationship, sexual connection) that is more fulfilling and meaningful. You have read all the self-help books, journaled, and attended retreats yet still feel something amiss. The "old ways" of living and being that used to be helpful have no longer served their function and lost their spark.

I believe that each one of us has an inbuilt potential to lead a happy life in all circumstances. But many times because of increased stress and tension in life (either due to workplace or family issues) we find it difficult to access that potential within and thus, we suffer from different health problems. My passion is to help individuals & couples come out of their problems & rediscover happiness in their life. From my personal experience of 8+ years, I can confidently say that taking help during the difficult times and using the psychological services can save an individual from many personal and professional problems.

I am a Trauma focussed therapist specialising in a wide range of techniques to reduce symptoms of mental discomfort.
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then reignited by an encounter with another human being - Albert Schweitzer said this and it couldn't be truer. We often feel that we should ignore our feelings, or hide them under the carpet because we have been told that showing emotions is sign of weakness. I am here to dispel the myth that mental health should be ignored - It's ok to not be ok.
I work on the principles of HOPE - giving you the strength to choose Hope over Fear.

When a major life change leaves you feeling unmoored, disconnected, or uncertain of your direction, it can be incredibly isolating. Therapy can help make sense of these emotions and enable you to reconnect with your own internal compass. I work collaboratively with clients who are experiencing significant transitions. Whether you have recently experienced the birth of a child, a move to a new country, the dissolution of a relationship or the loss of a loved one, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can process these experiences and help you rebuild a grounded, confident sense of self.

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
