I am a Psychotherapist and Mental health Educator. Also, the founder of Life Surfers, and Founding Member of Bharatiya Counselling Psychology Association and Let's Talk( COVID mental health crisis support Helpline ). I advocate for trained mental health peer support, and culturally appropriate and gender-sensitive mental health literacies through public speaking engagements and dialogues. My core work areas are training laypersons in Mental Health Support Skills, Counselling and Psychologist Education. My counselling is queer affirmative and focuses on improving people's Mental Health and on enhancing the emotional and behavioural health of an individual or a relationship. My principle in counselling is helping people empower themselves, minimise distress and evolve to find better meaning in their everyday lives. With rich international experience in corporate counselling, wellness workshops and mental health training, with a culturally diverse population, I simultaneously work on psycho-education, improving mental health literacy, nurturing safe spaces, providing trained mental health peer support and improving help-seeking behaviour.
