Detailed Information

Extremely passionate about empowering people to reach their full potential, Priya approaches counselling with the belief that every person has an innate capacity to heal, renew, grow and flourish holistically in their emotional, mental, social, relational and physical domains. Her pursuit with her clients is to help them not only navigate the immediate issues at hand, but also help them heal fully and develop healthy life skills, tap into their inherent strengths and build their resilience, so that they feel self-empowered to approach life confidently and meaningfully and realize their full potential.

While talk therapies work well for many, for others, talking or self inquiry is exhausting, especially when there is a lot of trauma involved – rehashing the painful past can cause more distress. Thus she uses an integrated approach of evidence based therapies such as ACT, CBT, SFBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, EFT and MEMI to ensure that it effectively meets the personality and the needs of the client.

She has worked extensively with folks dealing with Depression, Anxiety,  PTSD, Trauma, Grief, Life transitions, Bullying and also specializes in Couples & Marital therapy.

She believes that a healthy mind & emotional healing is a necessity and a priority, not a luxury, as one cannot pour from an empty cup. So do give her a shout, if you would like to chat and perhaps engage in some mental health care.

As a parting thought, “ You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf” – Jon Kabat Zinn.
