My interest and experiences as a person in how human dynamics impact an individual’s life led me to take up psychology in high school which led to further study counseling psychology and enabled me to become a therapist

To be able to help someone genuinely in a context like India where struggling with problems can be extremely stigmatized and looked down upon

I hope clients get a feeling that the I as a therapist is able to “get them”. A space where an individual feels unconditional positive regard, non-judgmental and empathetic space

I would say that approaching a counselor for help can be different for each individual. At the same time when one decides to go to a counselor it means that someone has hope for their life. And trying to get help is standing up against the problems

A relationship of unconditional positive regard, empathy and non-judgmental relationship

My greatest learning so far has been a client has lot of strengths and skills other than problems and problem saturated stories. Secondly an individual’s problems should be understood in the context of his/her environment.

My observation skills and my ability to look beyond a diagnoses and labels

Traveling, watching movies , and discussing psychology and politics

My approach is based on non-judgmental, empathetic space and collaborative process. We work together in navigating the concerns. The emotions and feelings the body feels during the therapy is also important in the therapeutic process

I provide them a non-judgmental and empathetic space. I am mindful and respect each individual’s unique experience with their experiences. I am open to getting a feedback for the therapeutic process to be safe enough for them. I attend workshops and supervisions to learn
