Counselling Psychologist · Bengaluru and online
I help people understand the patterns that keep them stuck, and practise changing them.
I work with adults, couples and young people on anxiety, overthinking, relationships and burnout. I'm the founder of Dive Into Self and a faculty member at CHRIST University.
Qualifications
Three methods I trust, chosen to fit you.
Most of my work draws on CBT, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt therapy. We use whichever helps most with what you're facing.
CBT
We map how your thoughts, feelings and actions feed each other, then build practical skills to break unhelpful loops. Well suited to anxiety, overthinking and low mood.
Is this thought a fact, or a habit?
Transactional Analysis
We look at the roles and scripts you fall into with partners, family and colleagues, and practise responding as the adult you are today. Useful for relationships and recurring conflict.
Which part of me is reacting right now?
Gestalt
We slow down and notice what is happening now, in your body, your words and the room, so that unfinished feelings can be felt and resolved rather than avoided.
What are you aware of, right now?
