Evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique needs, blending the best of Western psychological science with Eastern wisdom traditions.
Areas of Specialisation
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most extensively researched and effective forms of psychotherapy. It is based on the principle that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected, and that changing unhelpful patterns in one area can lead to improvements in others.
How It Works
In CBT, we work together to identify negative thought patterns and cognitive distortions that contribute to emotional distress. Through structured sessions, you learn to recognise, challenge, and replace these thoughts with more balanced, realistic perspectives. We also address behavioural patterns that maintain difficulties.
Commonly Used For
Positive Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Positive CBT)
Positive CBT is an innovative integration of traditional CBT with positive psychology. While CBT effectively addresses psychological distress, Positive CBT goes further by actively cultivating positive emotions, character strengths, and meaning in life.
How It Works
This approach involves not only working through difficulties but also identifying and building upon your existing strengths, fostering gratitude and positive emotions, clarifying personal values, and creating a life of greater meaning and fulfillment. It's about thriving, not just surviving.
Commonly Used For
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy that focuses on emotions and attachment bonds. Developed primarily for couples, it has also been adapted for individuals and families. It is one of the most researched and validated approaches to relationship therapy.
How It Works
EFT helps identify negative interaction cycles in relationships and the underlying attachment needs driving them. By accessing and processing core emotions, partners can create new, positive patterns of interaction that foster secure, lasting bonds.
Commonly Used For
Culturally-Adapted Interventions
Recognising that Western psychological models may not fully capture the experience of Indian clients, I integrate culturally-relevant concepts and Eastern wisdom traditions into my practice. This includes drawing upon principles from the Bhagavad Gita and the concept of Karmayoga.
How It Works
This approach honours your cultural background, religious beliefs, and spiritual practices as resources for healing. Rather than treating these as separate from therapy, we integrate them into the therapeutic process, creating interventions that resonate deeply with your lived experience.
