I am a psychotherapist, offering sessional work with individuals, couples and families. I am in private practice as a consultant, and a trainer in areas related to psychotherapy.

I have lived in the U.S., Canada, the U.K . and India, and have traveled in many countries. My experience of moving between cultures informs my work and shapes who I am. I still travel extensively and, combined with reading and watching world cinema, this maintains my openness to multi-cultural and multi-racial experiences.

My orientation is systemic, narrative and reflective work with Rogerian and psychodynamic influences. I am informed by the knowledge of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Hellinger process work, group process work, multi-family work, and working with traditional and non-traditional medical intervention systems.

I am interested in the context of people's lives including their work and environmental conditions. I address issues of gender, alternative sexualities, marginalised and differently-abled persons, and social justice.

I have worked with people in distress for over 35 years and can offer a range of interventions for individuals and families who are facing a crisis in their lives.

In running workshops for multinational companies, non-government agencies and other groups in formal and non-formal settings, I have witnessed their impact on professional and personal growth. Designing and executing training programmes for a crisis intervention center, and for well-reputed organizations such as Sanjivini, Tarshi, Indian Administrative Services, Rajeev Gandhi Foundation, CanSupport, South Bank University Social Work post-graduate course, and AIIMS staff, were also intensely rewarding.

In 2010, I led a survey of mental health issues affecting over 200 villages in rural Haryana. Based on the findings a training and intervention model was devised for increasing the effectiveness of rural health workers.

In 2004‒05, I visited Kabul, Afghanistan as a UN staff counsellor during a hostage situation. I have worked with British High Commission and Canadian High Commission consular staff on personal and professional stress management, and with groups of children and families in terrorism affected areas of Punjab and Kashmir.
