Question 1

What languages can I speak in during sessions?

Accepted Answer

Tamil, English

Question 2

How would you describe your approach to therapy?

Accepted Answer

My approach to therapy is eclectic, with Transactional Analysis (TA) being my primary framework. I see therapy as an exploratory process where building a safe, trusting relationship comes first. I want my clients to feel comfortable showing up as they are and sharing whatever they feel ready to share, without the fear of being judged.

I believe that every person has the capacity for change, and that sometimes, being heard, understood, and gently reflecting on our experiences can help us see things from a different perspective. I draw from different therapeutic approaches based on each client’s needs, comfort, and what I feel might be most helpful for them. For me, therapy is not about having all the answers, but about creating a space where we can explore, understand, and work through things together, at a pace that feels right for the client.

Question 3

What values guide your work with people?

Accepted Answer

My work is guided by the belief that change begins when a person is ready to explore it for themselves. Inspired by Eric Berne’s philosophy, I believe that "each person has the capacity to change", and that my role is to be a catalyst in that process rather than someone who tells them how to live their lives.

I also believe in the importance of being heard without judgment and accepted for who you are. Having wished for a space where I could experience this kind of understanding myself, I hope to offer the same to the people I work with. I strive to approach each person with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and respect for their pace and choices, creating a space where they can feel safe enough to explore their experiences, make sense of themselves, and find their own way forward.

Question 4

What kind of therapist do you try to be for your clients?

Accepted Answer

I hope to be a therapist who makes people feel heard, accepted, and understood without the fear of being judged. Someone they can show up as they are, without feeling the need to have everything figured out or put into words perfectly.

I want to be someone who walks alongside my clients as they explore their experiences, helping them notice patterns, ask questions, and see themselves from different perspectives. I may not always have the answers, but I hope to create a space where clients can find their own. Above all, I want to respect each person’s individuality and pace, and be a catalyst in their journey towards the changes they wish to make.

Question 5

What would you say to someone nervous about booking a first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is simply an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. You don’t need to have the right words, know where to start, or have everything figured out before you come in.

You’re welcome to share whatever feels comfortable for you, and we can take things one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no pressure to have all the answers or to make sense of everything right away. We’ll figure things out together.

Question 6

I've never been to therapy before. What should I expect from you?

Accepted Answer

You can expect a space where you can be yourself, speak freely, and feel heard without the fear of being judged. I may ask questions, reflect on what you share, or gently help you explore patterns and perspectives that you may not have noticed before. Sometimes, we may simply sit with what you’re feeling, without rushing to find an answer or a solution.

I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels helpful for you, with Transactional Analysis being my primary framework. Most importantly, I hope therapy feels like a space where we can work together, at your pace, to better understand yourself and explore the changes you wish to make.
