I see research as a scientific storytelling.

In studying a phenomenon, we gather evidence that offers perspective on an idea and shapes it into a narrative that is relevant, accessible, and meaningful to people.

Topics

Do you work in private practice?

No. I am currently completing my doctorate in counselling psychology. As part of the doctorate, I am working with clients as a trainee therapist in a number of placements and internships. These include at Therapy Horses & Affiliates in Mauritius where I see clients in-person, and at Dilemma Counselling.

How does it work?

In our initial sessions, I aim to understand your experiences and the challenges you are facing. It's essential that this time allows you to assess whether you feel comfortable working with me. The duration of therapy varies for each person and is ultimately determined by you as the client.
