Having had the privilege of being a student of the prestigious St.Joseph of Cluny High School, Pondicherry, I had chosen English Literature as my major in Under Graduation.
Though a Topper at college level, I had to give up the idea for going for a Post Graduation as young girls in my community were not allowed to go out of the city for higher studies. This was in 1977, but the fire in me was dormant and in 2004, my son finished his B.E. in BITS Pilani and embarked on MBA in Swinburne University, Australia and when my daughter was working hard for Chartered Accountancy after her under graduation, I applied for M.Sc. Psychology and successfully completed it with distinction. This Herculean effort on my side paved way for the post of a resource person in the HINDU NIE – Newspaper in Education and had the blessing of handling sessions in various schools in and around Tiruchirappalli.
It was then I joined Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Guidance and came out with excellent grades. This entitled me to serve as a Psychologist in Athma Hospital for 12 years. During this period, I have attended many workshops and training programs conducted by NIMHANS and various other reputed organizations.
I had the opportunity of serving in the Family Court, Tiruchirapalli as well. Served as faculty for Jenneys College of Nursing – handling Psychology for nursing students. Had been a faculty for psychology at Athma Institute of Mental Health and Social Sciences, Tiruchirapalli. Motivational speaker at colleges and have given talks for ALL INDIA RADIO as well.

Any counselling approach aims to help clients realize their potential and understand their own thoughts. My approach is warm, loving, caring and collaborative as well.
My unconditional positive regard and active listening to my clients makes them feel comfortable to discuss their issues without any kind of discomfort or guilt or shame.
My professional journey with children, adolescents, adult, couples, families has given me a great opportunity to help them analyze and sort out their problems. Changes in their life functions like sleep, appetite and bowel and bladder functions may also be triggering event in some people to meet a psychologist.

Together, I can help my client to cope with their problems and reinforce mental strength and energy to achieve their ambitions, relationships and there by spread their wings higher and higher.
