What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on student social-emotional wellbeing, inclusive practice, curriculum design, and opportunities to run workshops and mentor staff.

I am a compassionate mental health professional with extensive experience in school counselling, private practice, and curriculum development focused on social-emotional well-being.

I have worked as a school counsellor, senior school counsellor, and lead counsellor across international and Indian schools, supporting students, parents, and teachers through individual sessions, workshops, and teacher training.

I design and deliver mental health curricula, life-education programs, and inclusive strategies for neurodiverse learners, and I have presented work at conferences and symposia on teacher stress, school-parent partnerships, and narrative practices.

I continually engage in professional development and clinical supervision, and I run parenting workshops, staff wellbeing initiatives, and therapeutic interventions for children, adolescents, and young adults.
