Happened by chance ! I did not even know about the field ! It was my father who inculcated empathy & social awareness in me. As a child I was also fascinated with science , specifically Biology . Behold I learned Neuroscience in College as part of Psychology . Asked questions to my family & Professors , observed people a lot. Noticed that I have a ability to blend with people & understand their circumstances , lots of self-introspection, being an introvert helped a lot :). Slowly came to realization that the therapy or counselling is something I would like to. My capability to understand human psyche - includes their thoughts, emotions, cultures, choices , reactions, their motivations, survival has made being a therapist a blessing for me.

Groundwork, meeting people, learning from them, their potentials, motivations.

That there is a safe space, a person who is here to listen to you. You are not alone.

Reach out & ask questions about therapy, do not hesitate . Therapy is highly tailored as per the individual’s defined problems.

Collaborative relationship that acknowledges feedback (give & take) , respect & confidentiality, listening to both sides of the stories, building support systems.

4.Patience is a Virtue- Dealing with clients from various socio-economic strata’s has helped me observed that not everyone is privileged to use their frontal lobe at faster rate.

I am empathetic as a person, but my most appreciated skill would be ability to understand the cultural nuances , background, socia- economic strata’s.

I also provide lots of emotional space for the individual to think, assimilate, work on their newfound or developing skills.

Hmm. I like working out, swimming, read, meeting & observing people, day-dreaming.

Client-centered & Humanistic approach for the clients !! The ball is in your court !!

Trauma-informed /focused approach as a therapist.

I am an ally . Personally support LGBTQIA++ community. I believe in a motto “Live & let live”. I ensure I respect their pronouns & their boundaries. I personally keep myself updated as well , but I too ask them questions after ensuring they are comfortable answering too.
