Online Psychotherapy, Psychiatrists, Psychologist, Psychotherapist in Mumbai, India

Known conventionally as psychotherapy, I like to refer to my practice as psyche-therapy as a way to de-pathologise our need to manage mental health.

Psyche is an ancient Greek word translated as mind, soul, spirit, prana, chi or consciousness. Psyche is what animates us and breathes life into us and helps us make sense of the surrounding world. Conversely, the psyche is also what can trouble and disturb us. Psyche-therapy, then is a therapy that soothes the distress of the mind, body, senses and consciousness and equips an individual to skilfully navigate their internal landscape and external world of social relationships and professional responsibilities. By confronting one’s inner malaises, intruding memories, disturbing emotions and traumas, one moves beyond a state of being plagued to that of harmony. Working with the psyche is an alchemical process where one transforms the dark lead of one’s pain to the wisdom of illuminated awareness symbolised by the philosopher’s stone. The psyche-therapeutic process

My practise blends eastern wisdom traditions, such as Yoga, Āyurveda and Jyotiṣa with my repertoire of western psychotherapeutic approaches such as Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing, Integral Somatic Psychology, Existential Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I believe that without the balance of the bhūtas of the body-mind, an individual cannot reach their optimum well-being. Psyche- therapy integrates personalised nutrition, lifestyle, movement and contemplative practices in therapy for the individual to catalyse a holistic healing process.
