What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue providing evidence-based virtual therapy for anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic illness adjustment—building personalized treatment plans, conducting progress assessments, and supporting clients with ethical, confidential, crisis-ready care.

I am a Counseling Psychologist with an MSc in Psychology and 6+ years of clinical and counseling experience across healthcare and educational settings. I specialize in delivering evidence-based virtual therapy for anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic illness adjustment, grounded in ethical practice, client confidentiality, and measurable mental health outcomes.

In my independent online practice, I deliver virtual individual therapy, create personalized treatment plans, and conduct structured intake assessments with ongoing progress tracking to adjust therapeutic strategies as needed. Previously at Red Blood Centre (RBC), I provided counseling and psychoeducation for blood donors, supported pediatric thalassemia patients and families, and helped patients with Hepatitis B/C and blood disorders through coping strategy development, while collaborating with medical teams to integrate mental health care into patient management protocols.
