About

I completed my Mphil Clinical Psychology from NIMHANS, MA from Delhi University North campus, and BA (Psychology Hons) from L.S.R. , Delhi. I specialise in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (a form of CBT) and use an eclectic approach with my clients depending on their needs and concerns. I have over 14 years of experience in a variety of setups in Australia and India.

Approaches to therapy

I believe any individual thrives in a safe, warm and non judgemental space which is what I aim to provide all my clients. Along with that I aim to help all clients to identify and move towards their unique value based goals.

I often integrate elements from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, focusing on identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, belief systems and schemas embedded deeply in our minds that drive numerous behavioural patterns. I believe that therapy should focus on building connections, empowering individuals, and promoting personal growth.

Everyone has the potential for positive change, and a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for facilitating this process. I view therapy as a collaborative effort, where clients are active participants in their journey toward well-being.

Together with my clients, we establish clear, individualized goals that align with their unique needs and aspirations. These goals can range from managing specific symptoms to improving relationships or enhancing self-awareness. To measure therapeutic success, I consider both qualitative and quantitative factors.

I regularly check in with clients to assess their subjective experiences of progress, including changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Additionally, I may utilize self-assessment scales or goal-tracking tools to quantify progress. Ultimately, success is determined by the client’s sense of improvement and fulfillment, as well as their ability to apply what they’ve learned outside of therapy.
