Counsellor and Psychotherapist
ABOUT
Hi, my name is Chitra.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating emotional overwhelm, difficult family dynamics, and grief. My work is especially focused on those who have spent much of their lives being strong for others — and are now ready to understand themselves more deeply and create space for their own needs.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Inner child and trauma-informed work
-
Emotional regulation tools
-
A strong focus on empathy, validation, and safety
I believe healing doesn’t come from “fixing” yourself — but from understanding, processing, and reconnecting with yourself.
Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone anymore. I also offer discounted rate therapy for a limited time so if you are struggling with financial commitments, please get in touch about the rates.
