I approach all of my clients with immediate concern for relieving their troubling symptoms and resolving their current life problems. Even though my approach is psychoanalytic, I belong to a new school of relational and interpersonal psychoanalysis that has blossomed over the past twenty years. Rather than focusing heavily on past events, I help my clients integrate their past with their present. Understanding the genetic and environmental forces that shaped the persons they are today helps provide valuable insight and perspective on their current situation. Thus the “Client Centric” and I also involve the family for support therapy to the client. I work to educate my clients about human nature, including the fact that we cannot control what we feel. This has recently been confirmed by neuroscience research, even though many people believe that they can control what they feel. What we can do is work to understand and accept our feelings, manage them better, and reduce their intensity if that is a problem. I tell my clients that even though they cannot control what they feel, most of the time they can control what they do. So my approach blends greater self-awareness with knowledge of how the mind works to help my clients take responsibility for changing their lives. I am an active participant in this process and I do not hesitate to give feedback if the person I am working with is seeking it. My private practice is currently based out of DLF City in Gurgaon. Clients visit me from all over India and Overseas.I meet with clients at my clinic in Gurgaon.I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience in psychotherapy and counselling, my academic background is as follows:

Doctorate, PhD in Clinical Psychology, from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU)
M.Phil. In Clinical Psychology from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU)
MA, in Clinical Psychology from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU)
BA, in Clinical Psychology from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU)
I am a four time Gold Medalist in Psychology, numerous papers and articles have been printed in Academia and popular journals, and frequently interviewed and quoted in magazines, newspapers etc. I bring spirituality into play and look at the holistic wellbeing from mental, physical and emotional, and spiritual angles. Meditation and hypnosis techniques where required are used and explained. For the last 20 years, I have been in private practice in the National Capital Region (NCR), specifically in South Delhi and now in Gurgaon, Haryana. Typical clients are from all socio-economic strata of life, from celebrities, honchos from leading multinational companies, CEOs and Managing Directors of large companies, senior management, middle management and executives from various companies in and around Delhi, and Gurgaon. School children, housewives, young mothers and couples who require marital counseling are my typical clients. My belief is to equip my clients with the knowledge and skills to overcome their hurdles in the quickest possible time and to allow them to resume their normal lives at the earliest.

Have you ever handled a situation calmly, only to feel overwhelmed hours or days later? That’s emotional lag—when your mind processes feelings after the moment has passed. In the moment, you may go into “function mode,” pushing emotions aside to cope. But later, when things slow down, those feelings catch up. In this reel, I explain why emotional lag happens and what it means for your mental health. Watch till the end for clarity and self-understanding. If this resonates, like, save, share, and comment—do your emotions show up later too?

Do you feel constantly tired, even after resting? It might not just be physical fatigue—it could be emotional burnout. When your mind is overwhelmed for too long, it can show up as low energy, lack of motivation, and persistent exhaustion. Many people miss this and keep pushing through, which only deepens the fatigue. In this reel, I explain how emotional exhaustion disguises itself as tiredness and what your body may be trying to tell you. Watch till the end for clarity and awareness. Like, save, share, and comment—are you tired, or are you burnt out?

Ever wondered why your brain suddenly remembers unfinished tasks at 2 a.m.? That’s the Zeigarnik Effect. Our minds tend to hold on to incomplete tasks more strongly than completed ones, which is why unfinished work, unanswered emails, or pending decisions keep looping in your thoughts. It’s the brain’s way of nudging you toward closure. In this reel, I explain the psychology behind this effect and how understanding it can actually improve your focus and productivity. Watch till the end for practical insight. Like, save, share, and comment—what unfinished task keeps popping into your mind?

Do you constantly scan people’s tone, mood, or body language to sense if something is wrong? That’s hyper-awareness in relationships. For many people, this habit developed as a survival strategy—learning to read subtle emotional cues to avoid conflict, rejection, or instability. While it once helped you stay safe, it can also become exhausting and create constant anxiety. In this reel, I explain why hyper-awareness develops and how it affects relationships and emotional wellbeing. Watch till the end for deeper insight. If this resonates, like, save, share, and comment—do you find yourself always reading the room?

Missing someone who hurt you can feel confusing and even frustrating. Logically, you may know the relationship was painful or unhealthy, yet emotionally you still feel the pull of connection. This happens because the brain does not separate pain and comfort as neatly as we expect. When someone was both a source of affection and distress, the mind links those experiences together. Memories of warmth, familiarity, and attachment remain active, even when the relationship caused harm. The brain tends to hold on to what once felt meaningful, not just what was difficult. In this series, we explore why emotional bonds can persist despite pain and how the mind processes complex attachments. As you swipe through the slides, notice what thoughts and feelings arise about past relationships. If this resonates, like the post, save it for reflection, share it with someone navigating a difficult attachment, and tell me in the comments: have you ever missed someone you knew wasn’t good for you?

Do you feel emotionally exhausted from over-explaining, over-giving, and overextending? Emotional minimalism is about doing less emotionally—fewer justifications, fewer people-pleasing patterns, and fewer unnecessary emotional debates. It doesn’t mean becoming cold or detached; it means being intentional with your emotional energy. In this reel, I share how simplifying your emotional responses can protect your peace, strengthen boundaries, and improve relationships. Watch till the end to learn how to respond without over-functioning. If this speaks to you, like, save, share, and comment—where do you need to do less emotionally?

Why do some relationships make you feel more alive, confident, and inspired? That’s the idea behind Self-Expansion Theory—the psychological need to grow through our connections. Healthy relationships don’t just offer comfort; they help us learn, explore, and become more of who we are. When growth stops, stagnation and distance often follow. In this reel, I explain how self-expansion works, why it matters for long-term connection, and how to consciously nurture it. Watch till the end to rethink your relationships. Like, save, share, and comment—who in your life helps you grow?

The urge to start over can come from two very different places: escape or growth. Escape says, “If I change my environment, I won’t have to face what’s uncomfortable.” Growth says, “I’m ready to evolve, even if it feels uncertain.” Both can look similar on the surface—a new job, a new relationship, a bold decision—but the intention underneath makes all the difference. When we move without reflection, we risk carrying the same patterns into a different setting. But when change is intentional, it becomes transformative rather than reactive. In this part of the series, we explore how to distinguish between running away from discomfort and moving toward alignment. As you swipe through the slides, pause and ask yourself: what am I truly seeking? If this resonates, like the post, save it for clarity, share it with someone contemplating change, and tell me in the comments: are you escaping, or are you evolving?
