Facilitator Bio:
Zohra Master is a certified Supervisor and Associate Fellow with the Albert Ellis Institute, New York, and one of only 10 certified REBT Supervisors in India. With over 11 years of clinical experience and 6 years of experience training and mentoring therapists, she brings intellectual precision, cultural nuance, and emotional attunement to her work.
Couples therapy is a deeply integrated extension of her practice. Informed by training from ICEEFT (International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy), Zohra works with couples navigating disconnection, recurring conflict, or emotional shutdown. She helps partners slow down their cycles, name the pain beneath the pattern, and build a more secure bond. Her work draws from the structure of REBT, the depth of EFT, and a systemic lens that honours both individual histories and relationship dynamics.
Zohra has presented internationally, including at the 54th Annual Congress of the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT), where she led workshops and shared research on emotional granularity within REBT.
She is also a G.P. Birla Fellow for Women Leaders, selected by the Ananta Aspen Centre, a prestigious leadership program that equips purpose-driven women to move from insight to impact.
Clients describe her as “warm, witty, and razor-sharp,” with many crediting her for helping them move from self-criticism to self-kindness and from emotional chaos to clarity. Some say therapy with her “changed their life.”
As co-founder of Inner Planet, Zohra continues to shape a practice where therapy is smart, soulful, and radically useful—for clients and clinicians alike.
