Clinical Psychologist | Couples & Family Therapist | Group Analyst

You may be here because…

Something in your life may have begun to feel difficult to carry alone. You may be struggling with anxiety, overthinking, depression, low mood, or emotional exhaustion, and finding it hard to feel calm or steady within yourself. You may be dealing with relationship difficulties, marriage conflict, or repeated emotional patterns that continue despite your efforts to change them. Family conflict, parental relationships, or long-standing hurt may still be affecting how you feel, relate, and cope. You may feel stuck, lonely, unsure of yourself, or unable to move forward clearly. Or perhaps something in your work, studies, or inner life is affecting your wellbeing and making it harder to live with balance, clarity, and freedom.

What people often hope for from therapy

People usually do not come to therapy only to talk. They come because they want something in life to change — relief from anxiety, distress, or low mood; feeling calmer, lighter, and more steady; healthier relationships; clearer boundaries; more confidence; and a deeper understanding of themselves and the patterns shaping their lives.

I take those hopes seriously.

My approach

Many people come to therapy after feeling unheard, rushed, judged, or offered advice that did not go deep enough. My approach is thoughtful, clinically grounded, and shaped by a serious interest in how emotional difficulties take form in a person’s inner life, relationships, and ways of coping. I draw from psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive and behavioural approaches, couples and family therapy, group work, and philosophical inquiry, depending on the person and the nature of the difficulty.

I do not see therapy as merely giving advice or rushing toward quick solutions. Whether someone comes with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family strain, or a troubling pattern that keeps repeating, I believe the work should help them feel understood, think with greater clarity, recognise deeper emotional patterns, and move gradually toward change that is meaningful and lasting.

I try to offer a space that is careful and non-judgmental, emotionally steady, reflective without becoming abstract, and deep without becoming detached from lived reality. My hope is to work in a way that feels honest, collaborative, and psychologically serious.

What I work with

I work with a wide range of emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties. Sometimes this appears as anxiety, panic, fear, or chronic overthinking; at other times as depression, emptiness, or emotional pain. For many, the difficulty is closely tied to relationships — marriage conflict, breakups, or painful and repetitive relationship patterns. For others, it lies in family tension, difficult parental relationships, or intergenerational strain that continues to affect how they feel and relate.

I also work with trauma, shame, guilt, and long-standing hurt, along with anger, emotional dysregulation, and inner conflict. Some people come with struggles around low self-worth, confidence, and identity, while others find that distress is affecting daily life more directly through work stress, study-related pressure, or problems of focus, functioning, and coping.

Therapy services

I offer Individual Therapy, Couples Counselling / Marriage Therapy, Family Therapy, Group Therapy, and Online Therapy.

People seek help in different ways. Some come in moments of acute distress, when anxiety, low mood, conflict, or emotional strain have become difficult to manage alone. Others come because something more enduring is troubling them — a pattern in relationships, marriage, family life, work, or their inner world that seems to repeat despite their efforts to change it. Sometimes the need is for support in the present; sometimes it is to understand more deeply what lies beneath the surface of recurring difficulties.

Depending on the person and the nature of the concern, the work may take the form of individual, couples, family, group, or online therapy.

Working with people in India and abroad

A central part of my work is an awareness of the emotional complexity of Indian family systems, intergenerational expectations, migration, social pressure, and the wider cultural worlds in which people live and struggle. Often, distress is not experienced only as an individual problem; it is also shaped by family roles, inherited burdens, relationship dynamics, and the pressures of belonging, duty, and adjustment.

I also work online with people of Indian origin living abroad, including those facing loneliness, alienation, identity conflict, family strain, or the emotional demands of living between cultures, including people looking for an Indian therapist online.

Over the years, I have worked with clients from major Indian cities — including Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Pune, and Nagpur — as well as internationally, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the Gulf region.

My practice is trauma-informed, psychologically grounded, and attentive to the social and cultural realities that shape distress.

Professional background

I hold an M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology (RCI), along with postgraduate training in psychology and philosophy. Over the years, my clinical work has been shaped by extensive training in psychotherapy, couples and family therapy, group analysis, clinical hypnosis, and philosophical counselling. I am also a Ph.D. scholar in Philosophy.

In addition to private practice, I have been involved in teaching, clinical supervision, workshops, and mental health outreach, all of which continue to inform the way I think about therapeutic work.

My training has included psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT and REBT, ACT, couples and family therapy, group analysis, queer-affirmative counselling, and philosophical counselling.

A wider dimension of my work

Alongside psychotherapy, an important part of my work is an ongoing engagement with philosophical counselling and reflective dialogue. This can be valuable for people who find themselves wrestling not only with emotional distress, but with deeper questions of meaning, identity, purpose, loneliness, responsibility, love, loss, and the kind of life they want to live.

At times, the question beneath suffering is not only “How do I feel better?” but also “How am I living, what matters to me, and why does life feel this way?” I take that dimension of a person’s struggle seriously as well.
