I have always held a deep fascination for the intricacies of the human mind and the complex realm of emotions. My interest in the field of psychology developed early in my life. Over the years, I have nurtured a strong passion for therapy and personal growth. I firmly believe that the power to transform ourselves lies within us, and once we commit to take on the journey of self-discovery, positive transformations can emerge, helping us overcome our inner struggles.
My professional journey spans over a decade, during which I have had the privilege to work with a diverse range of individuals, spanning various age groups, professional backgrounds, and social demographics. I have gained experience in a variety of settings, including organisations like the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Society in London, Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals & Grant Medical College in Mumbai, Teach for India (an NGO), De Sousa Foundation, Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children, Mind Experts, College of Physicians & Surgeons, and numerous government and private institutions. Throughout this time, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field, drawing from my experiences and the guidance of my mentors.
My roles have been multifaceted, including consulting, supervising, teaching, mentoring, and facilitating workshops for students, professionals, doctors, parents, and teachers. However, my most significant role has been that of a therapist. As a person, I am a firm believer in the adage ‘Practise what you preach.’ Therefore, I wholeheartedly endorse and practice therapy in my own life, which continues to aid in my personal growth.
To maintain my well-being as an individual and as a therapist, I have embraced the practice of Vihangam Yoga meditation and find solace in connecting with nature, fostering internal peace and harmony. My approach to life and work is marked by intellectual acumen and a focus on solutions, firmly believing that tea, therapy, and time have the power to heal almost anything.
With this in mind, I eagerly look forward to making a meaningful contribution to society by promoting the mental and emotional well-being of individuals, in collaboration with my most dedicated, harmonious and wonderful team at Reflect Within.
