Professional Journey

I began my career as Therapist and Course Director at St. Francis College for Women, Hyderabad, establishing full-scale counselling programs and diploma courses in Psychological Counselling Skills.

I went on to work with Human Dynamic Asia Pacific, providing counselling and training for leading corporates such as Intel, Google, Goldman Sachs, PepsiCo, Mast, Freescale, Nokia Siemens, Pernod Ricard, and McCain—addressing workplace wellbeing, leadership development, and life transitions.

For over a decade, I served as Head of Counselling and CBSE & IB Psychology Educator at Heritage Xperiential Learning School, Gurgaon, where I designed counselling frameworks, spearheaded mental health initiatives, and mentored students through both academic and personal challenges.

Since 2022, Private practice has allowed me to focus on teenagers and adults, offering therapy, psychometric assessments, and skills training—each customised to individual needs and organisational goals.
