​I started to study Psychology in 1992 with keen interest in human mind and behaviour. In doing so, in last few decades I have relentlessly pursued high academic development and profesional training in new evidence-based interventions. I feel blessed that what started as an academic interest became a passion to practice and continues to do so! I practice Clinical Psychology, Counselling and Behaviour health. I take pride in my "integrated" mode of therapy targetting reduction of stress and anxiety and enhancement of every client's emotional wellness.
