How I can help
Therapy is not only for a crisis. People come here for all of the following.
What happens in a first session
An ordinary conversation. We talk about what brought you here, what you have already tried, and what you would like to be different. There is nothing to prepare and no right way to say it.
Sessions run for about an hour. Most people come weekly at first, and we agree together how often makes sense as things settle. Everything you say is confidential.
My clinical journey
My clinical journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping people work through mental health challenges, using evidence-based practice tailored to each client’s goals.
I trained and practiced as a Clinical Psychologist in Mumbai, India, where I researched the impact of family environment on children with behavioural problems. Since immigrating to South Africa in 1999, I have worked across various Department of Health clinics and Tara Hospital, deepening my clinical expertise. I have also stayed active in the community — organising events and giving talks to promote understanding of mental health.
In 2017, I completed an MBA at Wits Business School in Johannesburg to strengthen how I run my practice. With decades of experience across Mumbai and South Africa, I bring that same evidence-based approach to my work in Sandton today, drawing on a deep understanding of how family environment, personal beliefs and life circumstances shape mental health.
Mental health is not a destination but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going.
Medical aid
The practice is contracted to most medical aids and sessions are charged at medical aid rates. Bring your membership details to your first session.
Online sessions
Sessions are available online as well as in the consulting rooms in Kelvin, Sandton — so distance, traffic or being out of the country need not stand in the way.
What we don't take on
The practice does not take court or forensic work, custody assessments, or active addiction cases. Please mention it when you enquire and you will be pointed in the right direction.
Take the first step
Booking an appointment does not commit you to anything. It is simply a first conversation.
