How I work

Not one method. The one that fits you.

What helps one person can do very little for the next. I shape the approach around you, rather than making you fit the approach. I’m present in the conversation first, and I bring in a method when it helps. These are the six I draw on most.

Expressive arts therapy

Some things don’t come out in sentences. We might draw, write, use music or movement to reach what words keep missing.

You don’t need to be artistic. It is about expression, not skill, and you never have to show anyone what you make.

Feeling stuckEmotional overwhelmReconnecting with joy and creativity

Existential and meaning-oriented work

Sometimes the question isn’t “what is wrong with me?” but “what is the point?”. We look at your values, the choices in front of you, and who you are outside the roles you play.

The aim isn’t just to reduce the symptoms. It is a life that feels like yours.

Emotion-focused work

Many of us were taught to push feelings down. Here we slow down, name what is actually there, and let it make sense.

A feeling that has been understood stops running the show from the background.

Shame and guiltRelationshipsEmotional processing

CBT- and DBT-informed skills

Structured, practical and well researched. We map the loop between your thoughts, feelings and actions, and find where it can be interrupted.

Then we practise: skills for anxious spirals, for intense emotions, and for the conversations that usually go wrong.

Mindfulness and mind–body awareness

Stress lives in the body: the tight chest, the racing heart, tiredness that doesn’t seem to go away with rest. We practise noticing those signals early.

With time you learn to settle your body, instead of being carried along by it.

Self-compassion and self-awareness

If the voice in your head is a harsh critic, everything is harder. We work on seeing yourself clearly, and on speaking to yourself the way you would to someone you care about.

This is not about letting yourself off the hook. People who are kinder to themselves tend to change more, not less.

What a first session looks like

Four small steps. No surprises.

Not knowing what happens is what stops most people. So here is exactly what happens.

01

You send a message.

Use the form on this site to reach out to me on WhatsApp or by email. You can tell me as much or as little as you’re comfortable sharing about what’s bringing you to therapy. This just gives me a basic idea of what you’re looking for before we take the next step.

02

We have a short chat.

We’ll exchange a few messages to figure out whether I can help with what you’re looking for. We’ll also go over my fees and your availability, and find a time for your first session. If I feel that someone else may be better suited to your needs, I’ll let you know and help point you in the right direction.

03

The first session.

All my sessions are 50 minutes long, online or in person in Delhi NCR. In your first session, there are no tests, no complicated exercises, and no formalities. You talk, I listen, and I ask questions. Together, we start making sense of what’s been going on and begin figuring out what you want from therapy.

04

What happens next.

From there, we’ll work together to decide what to focus on and how often it makes sense for us to meet. Most people start with one session a week, but there’s no fixed commitment. You’re free to pause or stop therapy whenever you feel it’s right for you.

The first step

One message. That is all it takes to start.

Tell me your name and what you’d like support with. You’ll hear back about availability and fees, and we take it from there. No obligation.
