I have a Master’s degree in Psychology of Mental Health from the University of Edinburgh, a PG Diploma in Counselling, several hours of independent counselling training, and over 3 years of experience as a mental health professional.

​

Drawing from a pluralistic approach, I believe there are multiple ways of doing counselling. Counselling works best when clients are invited to be active participants and direct their own support. My work as a counsellor is to create a collaborative and facilitative space for this.

​​

I am influenced by humanistic and cognitive therapies and work integratively. However, my most important offering to the counselling process is myself, and I hope to create a non-judgmental, compassionate relationship that clients can use for themselves.

​

I see counselling as a sociopolitical process rooted in cultural factors. I work to bring our identities into the room and in this regard, I encourage you to think about my identity. I am a cis-het, middle-class man from a Scheduled Caste community.

​

I work to offer a space that is trauma-informed and queer-affirmative.
