Embark on a journey of expertise and compassion with me, I have been a Counselling Psychologist for over eight years of experience. I’ve navigated diverse realms within the mental health therapy landscape, offering transformative interventions and holistic care.
In vibrant Hammersmith and Fulham, NHS, London, I served as a Health and Wellbeing Coach, seamlessly integrating therapeutic modalities to address non-medical facets impacting mental well-being. This invaluable experience was followed by my private practice venture “Say Yes To Therapy in India, where I provided integrative therapy to clients from South Asian backgrounds, skillfully navigating relationship dynamics, self-esteem, family conflicts, anxiety, and grief.
Earlier, as a Psychologist, Marketing Executive, and Co-founder at Zariyaaa- Towards Positive Mental Health, India, I not only conducted therapeutic sessions but also spearheaded impactful mental health campaigns, emphasising rural areas and reducing stigma. This multifaceted role showcased not just my clinical prowess but dynamic leadership and advocacy for mental health therapy awareness.
The foundation of my proficiency lies in academic excellence, featuring a Graduate Certification in Systemic Approaches from The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, London. This was complemented by an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Amity University and a B.A. (Hons.) in Applied Psychology from Delhi University.
With a commitment to continuous growth, I pursued certifications such as CBT Plus for Lifestyle Issues Affecting Mental and Physical Wellbeing (APT Level 1 and 2) , a UK Accredited Health and Wellbeing Coach, and a Diploma in Art Therapy. These certifications underscore my dedication to staying at the forefront of advancements in mental health therapy, and further completed clinical hours as expressive therapist from Fortis Hospital, India with collaboration with UNESCO.
I am an Accredited Senior Member of the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH), UK, which reflects my dedication to maintaining high professional standards and ongoing learning in the mental health field.
I am also a Certified Mind-Body Practitioner from the Mind Body Food Institute and hold a Lifetime Membership with the Counselors Council of India. In addition, I’ve completed certifications in Art Therapy (CTAA & Niti Aayog certified), CBT for lifestyle issues, and Health & Wellbeing Coaching from the UK’s Personalized Care Institute, all of which enrich my integrative and holistic approach to therapy.
My bilingual proficiency in English and Hindi enhances my ability to connect with a diverse clientele. As a strong communicator, I excel at resolving complex situations through effective dialogue. Honesty, a commitment to continuous learning, and a team-oriented dynamic personality underscore the value I bring to every therapeutic interaction.
In the realm of mental health therapy, where each therapeutic journey is unique, I stand as a beacon of compassion, dedicated to fostering transformative and personalised healing experiences. Welcome to a space where my expertise meets empathy, and every journey towards mental well-being is guided with utmost care and professionalism.
Embarking on the landscape of mental health therapy in India, I observe a significant shift towards recognizing the pivotal role of therapeutic interventions in holistic well-being. Recent studies underscore the increasing acknowledgment of mental health therapy’s crucial impact on personal growth and resilience. Despite growing awareness, there remains a significant accessibility gap in mental health therapy services, particularly in rural areas. Stigma and misconceptions continue to impede widespread adoption, highlighting the pressing need for dedicated professionals in the field.
Globally, journey in mental health therapy aligns with the World Health Organization’s emphasis on the crucial role of therapy in mitigating the impact of mental health disorders. As a mental health therapist, I recognize the vital contributions we make in promoting global mental well-being.
A note from our founder- Mental health has become a concept in India, yet therapy is still seen as a far fetched idea. It’s time we talk about therapy and talk about how “SELF CARE” is a priority. Therapy is self-care so let’s break the stigma and “ SAY YES TO THERAPY”.
