🔆Hey there! I'm Arya, a counselling psychologist and arts-based therapist. Mental health, to me, is a collective responsibility, not an individual one. My curiosity is piqued at the intersection of psychology and social justice, shaping my approach toward trauma-informed therapy, community mental health, and the transformative power of art-based practices. 🌍 Advocating for Mental Health & Social Justice: I'm passionate about fostering conversations that bridge the gap between mental health and social responsibility. I love exploring how personal well-being intertwines with creating a more compassionate and just world. 🌿 Balancing Act: Beyond therapy, you'll find me winding down with yoga or immersed in the world of food shows. I'm a firm believer in the power of a good power nap—ask me about it, and you might catch a glimpse of my TED talk topic. I also find solace in journaling and reading fiction. In both personal and professional realms, I thrive on authenticity and mutual support. Let's explore what I can bring to the table for you. 🌱Seeking Therapy?
