About Me
My journey as a corporate leader, professional psychologist, and a passionate educator
My Journey
I am a motivational speaker, life coach, HR, OD, and change management evangelist, senior behavioural facilitator, and psychotherapist based in Mumbai. I am passionate about designing and delivering innovative interventions to enhance both individual and organisational effectiveness, always with a deep regard to context, behaviours, and realities.
In-depth diagnosis and engaging delivery, while helping to solve real problems, have become the hallmarks of my work across corporate, academic, social sectors, and therapeutic counselling. With three decades of corporate experience across diverse industries including Manufacturing, Engineering, Pharma, BPO, Media, Advertising, Events, and Entertainment, I bring a unique perspective to organizational development.
I have been teaching for over 25 years and have engaged with various management institutes in Mumbai, and I've been coaching and counselling professionals and students in both offline and online modes. I counsel students, women, and corporate individuals using modalities like Psychodrama, NLP, Gestalt, Enneagram, Integral Somatic Psychology, and Transactional Analysis in my practice during group and personal sessions.
What motivates me every day is witnessing transformation—whether it's an individual gaining new insight, a team finding their rhythm, or a group member experiencing a breakthrough. This work is not just my profession; it's my calling.
How I Work
My approach integrates evidence-based psychological methods with a deep respect for each person's unique journey and inherent wisdom.
Transactional Analysis
Understanding patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving through ego states, life scripts, and relational dynamics.
Gestalt Therapy
Emphasizing present-moment awareness, personal responsibility, and the integration of fragmented aspects of self.
Psychodrama
Using action methods and embodied exploration to access healing, creativity, and transformative insight.
Neuro-linguistic programming
Using language and patterns of thought to create new behaviours and beliefs.
Sociometry and Sociodrama
Using role-playing and group dynamics to explore professional and relational patterns.
Integral Somatic Psychology
Using somatic experiencing and embodiment to access healing, creativity, and transformative insight.

My Therapeutic Philosophy
At the heart of my work is a deep respect for each person's unique journey. I believe that we all possess an innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-actualization—sometimes we just need the right conditions and support to access it.
Core Principles:
- •Authenticity: I bring my whole self to our work together, creating genuine human connection.
- •Collaboration: You are the expert on your life; I offer tools, perspectives, and support.
- •Integration: Drawing from multiple modalities to find what works best for you.
- •Present-Moment Focus: While honoring the past, we work in the here-and-now where change happens.
- •Ethical Practice: Committed to confidentiality, boundaries, and ongoing professional development.
Whether I'm working with individuals in therapy, facilitating a support group, or training corporate teams, these principles guide everything I do. My goal is always to create a safe, supportive environment where growth and transformation can unfold naturally.
