A little about me
Where professional care meets personal reflection
I’m a psychologist who values both science and humanity. This space is where professional care meets personal reflection — through books, ideas, and honest conversations about well-being.
I am an RCI Registered Clinical Psychologist, trained across hospital and community settings — from psychiatric centres to rehabilitation spaces — working with people of different ages and walks of life. Alongside the clinic, you’ll usually find me with a book: reading, underlining, and thinking about what psychology looks like in everyday life.
- RCI Registered (CRR No. A101946)
- M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology

- Trauma-informed practice

Read the reviewMy approach
Care that is shaped around you
I use an evidence-based, integrative approach to curate individualized interventions. Every person is unique, and support is shaped according to their specific situation, needs, and circumstances.
Drawing from trauma-informed and grief therapy, existential therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and couple & family approaches.
- Thoughtful assessment
Taking time to genuinely understand before intervening.
- Personalized care
Interventions curated for your situation, not a template.
- Practical strategies
Tools you can actually use between sessions.
- Collaboration
We work as allies — therapy is done with you, not to you.
- Respect for your pace
Honouring each person’s pace, story, and experience.

Testimonials
Kind words from clients
Short, honest reflections shared publicly by people I have worked with — so new visitors can feel more comfortable and informed.
She is kind, empathetic, and a professional who genuinely cares about her clients. She creates a safe and non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable opening up. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate psychologist.
She created a safe space for me where I could openly share my experiences and emotions. She listened patiently and helped me process my trauma step by step in a very reassuring way. I have started feeling better, and hopeful again.
My spouse and I were going through a difficult phase in our marriage. We immediately felt at ease with her. She was extremely patient and compassionate throughout, and her counselling has made a positive difference in our relationship today.
Kind, patient, and someone who really takes the time to listen and understand. Her approach is supportive and non-judgmental, and I have noticed a big improvement in my mental health since working with her.
The sessions were testing, enlightening, emotional — but most of all empowering. She helped me understand myself, step back and look at the facts around me, and my confidence grew hugely. I now have a toolbox for any problem life throws up.
I love how lovingly and politely she handled my concerns and mood swings, and helped me tackle them. With her, I understand myself better — and I am starting to love myself even more.
