About

A calm, grounded approach to mental health

I trained in clinical psychology and have spent my career working with people at different points in their lives. Much of my work sits in preventive and promotive healthcare, which means I focus on building awareness and resilience before problems take hold, not only after.

At Kripa Foundation in Mumbai, I ran individual and group counselling sessions. I learned that the most useful thing I can offer is not a set of techniques, but a space where someone feels genuinely heard. The rest follows from there.

I work in English and Hindi, and I bring the same care to every session, whether it is a first conversation or a longer therapeutic relationship.

Experience

Counsellor, Kripa Foundation

Mumbai

At Kripa Foundation, I worked with clients in individual and group counselling, supporting their emotional, behavioural, and psychological well-being.

A large part of my role was preventive. I promoted mental health awareness and practices that help people stay well, rather than only responding when things become difficult.

I also worked closely with multidisciplinary teams, because holistic care rarely happens alone. Coordinating with other professionals meant each client got support that matched the full picture of their life.
