My Therapeutic Approach

Mental Health Counselling & EMDR Therapy | Goa & Online

Life is full of wonderful and beautiful moments but humans sometimes endure painful or traumatic experiences. We then seek different mediums for support, to understand and heal. One such powerful medium to heal is Psychotherapy. If you allow me I will be your companion in this journey called Psychotherapy. I come with empathic abilities to understand what you are feeling and the skills as a Psychologist to help you process difficult emotions.

Therapy is a unique journey for every individual. Our work will be safe, non-judgemental and relational, In other words, I facilitate growth through the therapeutic attachment you and I will share. 

I am an integrative therapist this is to say that I have studied and practised various evidence-based psychotherapies. This also means I can help you in different ways to work through a range of challenges and complex emotions. Over the years I have learned to weave in the therapies I am trained in based on clients' individual needs. With healthy relatedness, deeply meaningful discussions, gentle challenging of life scripts- psychotherapy will help you to process your emotions, acquire insight into your patterns, gain many tools and enable you to have a choice about how you would like to live your life.

As a Psychotherapist who is informed about Trauma I will be able help you to understand how your brain makes connections from a Neuroscience perspective and further facilitate you to update your neural networks. EMDR therapy is an extensively research backed method proven to help people recover from trauma and any other distress.  EMDR therapy allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. AF- EMDR has a client-centered approach and you will feel empowered as you tap into your inner healing resources.

I incorporate my ongoing training in somatic therapies to help you access body-based beliefs and release experiences held in the nervous system. Recent research has shown us that not just the brain but the body too is wired based on experiences with negative beliefs . 

If you are interested and curious I am happy to infuse elements of eastern philosophies such as mindfulness. Because of my diverse training in the UK, USA and in India I am able to integrate Psychotherapy from the west and eastern philosophies to help clients achieve an inner balance of mind body and spirit.

Regardless of any theory or technique, our work will be collaborative, wherein I will be respectful of your pace and timing on moving forward with your goals.
