Includes:

Therapeutic Approach – My approach is athlete-oriented and grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I focus on helping athletes understand how their thoughts and emotions influence performance, and I use practical, sport-specific strategies they can apply directly in training and competition. My goal is to create a supportive and structured space where athletes feel understood, motivated, and equipped to grow both mentally and emotionally.
Credentials & What Drives Me – I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology from SNDT University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Sports Psychology from Jain University. I have worked across multiple Sports Authority of India centres and supported athletes during national camps through individual sessions, group sessions, assessments, and performance-focused interventions.
Take the First Step – My passion lies in helping athletes strengthen their mindset, overcome internal barriers, and achieve their potential with clarity and confidence.

What clients can expect

My experience in clinical and high-performance settings enables me to understand the emotional pressures individuals face and respond with both empathy and structured support. I help clients build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, regulate emotions effectively, and develop resilience for sustained well-being and growth.
Academic & Clinical Foundation : I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Sports Psychology, integrating clinical mental health expertise with performance-focused psychological training.
Assessment & Therapeutic Experience : I have over three years of professional experience as a Sports Psychologist with the Sports Authority of India, providing psychological assessments, individual and group counselling, and evidence-based interventions to support emotional well-being and performance.
Multidisciplinary & Rehabilitation Work : I specialize in performance psychology and mental skills training, with expertise in psychological assessment, pressure management, confidence enhancement, and emotional regulation within high-performance environments.
Current Counselling: I currently work with elite national-level athletes across disciplines such as hockey, wrestling, kabaddi, athletics, and rowing, offering counselling and psychological support to help them manage stress, build resilience, and maintain overall mental well-being.

How My Experience Guides You

My approach is rooted in humanistic principles, emphasizing empathy, respect, and creating a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard. Alongside this, I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies that support meaningful change.

This is a warm and safe space where you will be heard with compassion, and we will move at a pace that feels right for you.
