Here's a little more about myself and
the Flashlight Psychotherapy...

Education

​

I did my schooling from TVS Matriculation School Higher Secondary School, Madurai followed by a Bachelors in Psychology and Sociology at Lady Doak College, Madurai, for which I received the Best Outgoing Student in Psychology. When I was a student, I was a client of psychotherapy. I had my own issues and I am grateful to the mental health professionals in my school and college who made a difference in my life. I wanted to be that person in someone else's life and that made me want to become a therapist. I then pursued my Masters in Applied Psychology with a specialization in Counselling Psychology from Tata Institute of Social Sciences. I also got trained in Psychological First Aid, Trauma Informed Psychological Practice and Queer Affirmative Counselling Practice.

Work

​

I started my private practice in May 2019 working with children and adults providing individual counselling while also working as a Guest Lecturer at Lady Doak College, Madurai at the Under Graduate Level. I then worked with Brain's Gym, providing life skills trainings and workshops for school and college level students. By September 2020, I realized that my passion lies in providing counselling and psychotherapy services for young and older adults. I joined YourDOST, an online platform providing mental health counselling, as an Expert Psychologist working part-time while also continuing my private practice.

​

Having gained exposure and experience of over 2 years by June 2021, I joined Peakmind.in as a full time employee. I provided counselling and psychotherapy services, created and facilitated workshops, ran community engagement programs and created content for corporate employees, students and teachers. August 2023 was when I decided to quit my full time job and continue my private practice. I am truly grateful that I made this decision and have been enjoying my work so far.

The Flashlight Psychotherapy

​

I started The Flashlight when I was doing my Masters at TISS. I was passionate about photography and I realised that the work I was doing was similar to how a flashlight would brighten up a photo even if it lasted only for a fraction of a second. Ergo, I named it "The Flashlight" and started posting content on Instagram. Now it has become my brand name and I am proud of it!

MANJAL - Women's Wellness Community

​

I started MANJAL in 2024 after a year of working specifically in women's wellness through online workshops and a women's wellness retreat at Goa. 

​

My ultimate goal is to help adults heal through therapy and empower themselves to live their best lives.​​​​​
