M.Phil. Qualified

CIP Ranchi Alumni

“I believe that every person carries a story — some stories are spoken freely, while others remain unspoken for years.”

“My role is not to judge your story or tell you how to live your life. It is to help you understand your experiences, recognise patterns, discover your strengths, and find healthier ways of coping and connecting.”

A Safe Space to Understand, Heal and Connect

I hold an M.Phil. in Psychiatric Social Work from the Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP), Ranchi, with over 7 years of professional experience across clinical mental health care, psychiatric rehabilitation, addiction services, community mental health, research and psychosocial interventions.

My approach is empathetic, collaborative and evidence-informed, while recognising that every person, relationship and family has a different story.

What you can expect

A safe and non-judgmental space
Confidential and professional conversations
Individualised therapeutic support
A psychosocial and strengths-based perspective
Practical strategies applied in everyday life
Respect for your choices, pace and lived experience
You don't need to have everything figured out before you start counselling. Sometimes, you simply need a space where you can finally talk.
