With more than nine years of clinical practice, Veena has supported many individuals experiencing depression, emotional exhaustion and a loss of connection with themselves and others. Her work explores not only the emotional experience but also the life contexts, pressures and memories that shape it. She focuses on creating therapeutic spaces that are gentle and collaborative, where people can lean into healing without pressure or fear of judgment. Her experience facilitating group spaces has shown her how powerful community can be in restoring hope.
In SoulUp’s Depression Support Group, Veena supports participants in exploring their internal struggles at a pace that feels respectful. The group offers a mix of emotional support, reflective conversation and coping tools that help individuals regain small but significant moments of energy and hope. Veena believes that people experiencing depression deserve understanding rather than dismissal, presence rather than silence. She finds purpose in watching group members gradually rebuild their belief in themselves and rediscover what helps them feel grounded, comforted and alive.
