My journey from a 25-year career in global technology Human Resources to counselling and psychotherapy was driven by a deep desire for meaningful connection and purpose, a transition profoundly shaped by my own transformative experience with personal therapy. As a bilingual Integrative Psychotherapist, I prioritize creating a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Rooted in a diverse theoretical foundation, my approach navigates the complexities of diverse cultures, beliefs, and values, offering a welcoming space to explore the transformative power of counselling, psychotherapy, and mindfulness.
My client-centered approach integrates various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, psychodynamic, and humanistic therapies, alongside holistic practices like Sandplay Therapy and Meditation, to create personalized treatment plans addressing both immediate concerns and underlying root causes. My extensive experience, providing counselling to families facing bereavement and end-of-life care at Shooting Star hospice, adult relationship counselling at Relate West Surrey, trauma-informed support for domestic abuse survivors at Care2talk, and child therapy as a former Play Therapist at Eton End Prep School, reflects my commitment to diverse populations.
I believe in fostering a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment for self-discovery, prioritizing strong, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationships. Recognizing the unique path to well-being for each client, I tailor my approaches to meet their specific needs and goals, facilitating a personalized and transformative therapeutic experience. Fundamentally, I am committed to building genuine connections, fostering an atmosphere of empathy, and understanding, and providing a secure foundation for clients to explore vulnerabilities, gain insights, and initiate positive change, understanding that the journey to well-being is uniquely personal.
Furthermore, I offer therapy in English, Tamil, Hindi, and Marathi. This is especially significant because the ability to process emotions and express them in one’s native language holds profound therapeutic value. It allows for a deeper, more authentic connection with one’s inner self. I understand that many individuals may live in a culture different from their birthplace, and this cultural duality significantly influences who we become and our perspectives. Embracing and exploring these cultural nuances within the therapeutic space is essential for fostering a holistic and meaningful healing journey.
