About Me
Hi, I’m Sharanya, an RCI- licensed Clinical Psychologist Associate.
I’ve spent the past five years working with people who are learning to understand themselves better and make sense of their experiences.
In our sessions, I believe in keeping an open, collaborative mindset as therapy works best when it’s built together. I bring empathy, curiosity and genuine acceptance into the space, where every part of you is welcome, without judgment.
My approach is grounded and reflective, tailored to meet your needs and help you reconnect with your purpose.
If you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step, and I’d be glad to walk this journey with you.

Therapies I work with
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
CBT helps you recognise and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.

ACT encourages acceptance, mindfulness, and living by your values.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy
Helps people identify and change irrational beliefs and thought patterns that lead to emotional distress and self-defeating behaviors.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
A goal-oriented, short-term approach that concentrates on a client's strengths and future possibilities rather than on past problems
Exposure and Response Prevention
A type of cognitive behavioural therapy that is considered the first-line treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Trauma focused therapy
Helps individuals process traumatic experiences and cope with their lasting effects on mental, emotional, and physical well-being
Behavioural

Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a method used to help people who are unsure about changing, by encouraging and motivating them to take action.
Psychological assessment
In some cases, assessments may be recommended to gain deeper insights into emotional, cognitive, or personality functioning. These are conducted using standardized tools and tailored to each client’s needs. Details about the process will be discussed during consultation.
The Therapy Journey
Step 1: Once you reach out, we respond within 1-2 working days to schedule the first session
Step 2: The first session focuses on understanding your background, current concerns, and what you’d like to work toward. We’ll set broad goals together.
Step 3: Sessions are held once a week (or as discussed). Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns, using evidence-based approaches like CBT or DBT. Each session builds on the last.
Step 4: Over time, we’ll review your progress and make adjustments to ensure therapy continues to support your goals.
Step 5: When you feel ready, we’ll plan the closure process and discuss how you can continue your growth outside therapy.
