I can describe myself as someone who strives to lead a life with the attitude of live and let live. I try not to live by rules/standards and try to create my own and believe that it is important to have an openness to be able to do that and also to be able to understand and accept others as they are.

I love following my passions, exploring new things. Some of my hobbies include reading, dance, music.

As a Mental Health Practitioner, I have been providing psychological counselling for various clients globally struggling with challenges related to personal growth, abuse, relationship and marital issues, family issues, mid-life crisis, stress, trauma, anxiety  etc.. 

I believe in using an eclectic approach with a treatment plan individualized to meet the needs of my client. In my experience I has been trained in and have practiced different approaches like Person-centered, Cognitive Behavioural, Behavioral, Interpersonal therapy, Mindfulness-based Anxiety management, Trauma informed counselling and so on. I work with individuals struggling with any area of mental health.
