Counseling

Modality - Online or Offline (South Delhi)

My approach - I have a relational, collaborative approach mainly using psychodynamic and narrative therapy, also drawing on other approaches as needed. I am a trauma informed practitioner. 

As per the narrative approach I will be consulting you, because you are the expert on your life, your experience and your values. In depth oriented psychodynamic therapy we also deal with the unconscious, dreams, and work on understanding and changing patterns that are no longer helping you. 

Values - I strive to be non-pathologizing, queer affirmative, anti-caste therapist and to join my clients in their journeys of resisting oppression and reclaiming agency and peace of mind. I welcome people of all abilities, genders, sexuality, caste, class, religion and region. 

Qualifications - I have a Masters in Psychology from Ambedkar University Delhi and have completed a One Year Program in Narrative Therapy from Children First and Dulwich Center. 

Languages -  English, Hindi. 

Confidentiality - Our sessions will be private and confidential. 

Supervision - As is recommended for all therapists, I consult with highly experienced supervisors a minimum of twice a month to get expert feedback and guidance. 

Fees and duration - My fees are Rs. 2000/- for a 50 minute session and are due in advance to book the initial consultation appointment. 

I offer a sliding scale for students and people who face structural social and financial disadvantages because of their gender, sexuality, caste, class, disability or minority status.
