Integrative Psychotherapy: My integrative model is built on the understanding that as human beings we all are unique, different and complex. I believe there is no single psychotherapeutic approach that suits all clients, issues, contexts and therapists. Therefore, a holistic stance that integrates helpful approaches is important.
My training for the last 10 years (Two master’s degrees and the recent Doctoral programme) involved learning in depth various therapeutic models. Therefore, I have sufficient knowledge of all the modalities in psychotherapy, counselling, and psychology. I feel confident that I will be able to tailor the appropriate treatment/approach that suits you best.
I hold a dual degree Doctorate (DCPsych) from the Metanoia Institute and Middlesex University, Alongside this, I hold two British master’s degrees: an MSc in Psychology of Education (BPS) from Bristol University and an MSc in Psychology from Exeter University.
I am a member of several national and international professional bodies, including the British Psychological Society (BPS), the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My academic foundation began in India, where I completed an MSc in Psychology and earned bachelor’s degrees in economics, theology, and philosophy. I have also written over 200 English articles on national and global issues, three English books, and several works on neuropsychology and poetry in English and Tamil languages.
Clinically, I practise at doctoral level and work confidently with complex presentations. My natural inclination has always been to help those in distress, and my advanced training has strengthened this commitment, particularly in supporting individuals facing psychological or relational difficulties. Over the last 20 years in the helping professions, I have worked with people across cultures, contexts, and life stages. Having taken on parental responsibilities early on in life and having lived within both individualist and collectivist cultures, I bring grounded insights into emotional and relational dynamics.
My dual degree doctoral training included five years of personal therapy and hundreds of supervised clinical hours. These personal, academic, and professional experiences shape the care I offer: a safe, non‑judgemental, and supportive space for anyone navigating life’s challenges.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
