My Story

My journey into therapy began long before I trained as a counsellor - it began as a client. I grew up in the UK in an Indian family, navigating life as a third-culture kid. Moving across three continents shaped my understanding of identity, belonging, and the subtle ways culture influences how we see ourselves and relate to others. These early experiences planted the seeds of my deep curiosity about people and the stories they carry.

In my early teens, life shifted dramatically. Illness, multiple losses, and sudden crises became familiar, and I learned to be “the strong one” long before I was ready. For years, I coped by staying composed, caring for others, and pushing down my own needs. It wasn’t until I moved abroad, began my own family, and felt safe enough to exhale that the cracks began to show. This all led me to therapy - the first place where I truly softened, breathed, and began to understand how deeply my past lived not only in my beliefs but also in my body. This work opened the door to mind–body practices and helped me break patterns I did not want to pass down to my children

Around the same time, after 15 successful years in the corporate world, I stepped away to realign my life with my values. Despite the stability, something felt misaligned - I wanted work rooted in meaning, authenticity, and human connection. I retrained as a counsellor and psychotherapist, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Clinical Hypnotherapy. My approach is integrative and tailored to each client, grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a nuanced understanding of identity and emotional wellbeing. I am registered with the International Council of Integrative Psychotherapists.

I call vibrant Singapore home, where I live with my husband and our two energetic boys, who continue to teach me presence, curiosity, and growth. Outside my practice, I volunteer with organisations such as AWARE, supporting individuals navigating crisis or transition. I’m also a passionate traveller and foodie, and I cherish time spent dancing, exploring, and sharing meaningful conversations over good food with friends.

Becoming a therapist has been the most authentic step of my life — a return to what feels aligned and purposeful. It is an honour to walk alongside people as they explore their stories, reclaim their breath, and build lives that feel true to them.
