Sandhya is a registered counsellor and dedicated social impact professional with over a decade of experience working in people and community development. She believes everyone should have access to quality mental health services, and opportunities to connect and express themselves – be it through art, play, or movement.

Having been through her own journey with mental health and chronic illness, Sandhya wants clients to know that they are not alone and that the right support can go a long way. Through her sessions she works with clients on self-discovery and exploration, and on building skills to tackle the challenges they are facing. She believes every client has the innate wisdom and ability to achieve their goals - sometimes it just helps to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective, to have someone hear you out, or to simply have some company along the way.

While she is trained in a number of approaches, Sandhya mostly draws on techniques from Person-Centred Therapy, Expressive Therapies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy y in her sessions. She is also trained in trauma modalities.

Outside of counselling, Sandhya works with several non-profit organisations dedicated to families, children and youth, and differently-abled communities.
