I am a Psychotherapist with an additional training as an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW). Blend of these two disciplines equip me to understand you in a context.
I have 8 years of post-graduate counselling and case management experience in complex community mental health settings.
In my current role as a senior mental health practitioner within a non-profit organisation, I work with clients experiencing mild to severe mental health presentations, including distress, depression, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, anger management, complex trauma, bipolar and those with schizophrenia.
I pursue person-centred, strength-based, humanistic and recovery-focussed approaches to healing from psychological and emotional distress.
I am of the firm belief that our strengths and talents can support us though challenging growth periods, but that we are often not consciously aware of what they are and how we might access them. As a result, I enjoy facilitating growth, enhancing strengths and increasing motivation using a range of therapeutic techniques.
There is no all-encompassing approach to psychological work. I use a blend of various evidence-based treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) , Existential , etc,.
In addition to aforementioned psychological methods, I draw from philosophical, cultural, mythological and social traditions to aid science. I read widely and update myself constantly to be able to help clients cope and thrive.
I make sure that my clients feel safe and comfortable sharing their inner fears and feelings. I strongly believe in the power of individuals to achieve a balanced, meaningful and fulfilling life. I also believe that my role is to hold a space and hope until you re-discover your own for healing.
The reward of my work is a joy when you walk away with skills, knowledge and insights and with confidence towards your future.
Over the years of clinical work, I am inspired by many stories of recovery, courage, motivation and hope that you have demonstrated.
I can also speak two other languages Nepali and Hindi.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
