Summary

A Mental Health enthusiast who is one empathetic and devoted Psychotherapist, Psychological Assessor and Well-Being Counsellor. The experimental, theoretical, and analytical education that I assimilated for 18 years and the experience I gained in the field for more than 4 years must serve living beings in the best possible manner. I foresee to use my counselling and therapy skills in a way that oblige nothing less than timeless hope and motivation to live among individuals. As, being a Psychologist is not only my profession but a source of self-fulfillment for me. I would continue advocate Mental Health in any way possible until it’s no more a stigma.
