About me

I have been working as a counsellor and parent coach for over nine years, supporting people through life’s challenges, emotional struggles, and personal growth. I’m originally from India and now live and work in Berlin. Having built a life away from home myself, I understand the unique challenges of expat life- from identity shifts and loneliness to parenting without familiar support systems. I offer individual counselling & coaching to young adults, expats, parents, and pregnant couples, helping you navigate these experiences with care and understanding.

My approach is based on Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a trauma-informed method that helps us understand the different parts of ourselves with curiosity and kindness. I don’t believe people are broken or need fixing, and I don’t rely on quick “band-aid” solutions. Together, we explore the root of your concerns while also finding practical ways to improve everyday life and manage emotions.

Alongside IFS, I use breathwork and simple body-based techniques to help you connect with your body’s wisdom and feel more grounded. I’m not the expert on your life; you are and I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you slow down, feel safe, and reconnect with your natural ability to heal, grow, and navigate life with more ease.
