About me
I always knew that psychology was my passion, but when I discovered the magic of counselling, I was absolutely enthralled. Awe-struck at the strength people discover in themselves once they begin the process of self-exploration, I am honoured to have witnessed and supported countless such journeys in the past three decades of my work. My journey as a trained counsellor began as soon as I graduated in Psychology and I have continued to study and professionally develop since then. In 2009, I moved to Germany from India for personal reasons and this demanded great mental and emotional agility. I had to learn new life lessons, adjust to a new culture, and re-learn to value and establish myself. In other words- the move rid me of any complacency and stagnation I may have been at risk of. I believe this has helped me remain open and receptive to a broad range of issues.

Approach
As a counsellor trained in a Person Centred Approach, my focus is understanding the client as fully as possible, clarifying what they want resolved in their lives and (most importantly) help them harness their own strengths to begin the journey.
The basis of my work, starting from the first session is to build a trusting and non-judgmental relationship where there is permission to express feelings, doubts, contradictions, dreams and hope. I strive to listen deeply and completely. And this, I find, is immensely liberating for the person listened to. When all aspects of the situation can be brought to light and examined, only then can they be resolved.
My clients and I conduct a periodic, collaborative review of the journey and progress made, so that the process remains relevant and in the clients best interest. Endings are discussed and prepared for, so that there is a clear self-directed path for the clients growth after sessions are finished.
