A Gentle Beginning
Whatever brings you here, whether anxiety, a difficult season, or simply the wish to understand yourself better, therapy offers a confidential, unhurried place to work through it.

Hello,
I'm a psychologist, psychotherapist, supervisor, and the founder of Silver Linings: Guidance & Counselling Centre in Goa. For over 14 years, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals, couples, and families through life's most challenging moments, whether that's anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, burnout, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck.
I believe therapy isn't about fixing you or having all the answers. It's about creating a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood without judgement, and supported as you make sense of your experiences. Often, healing begins not when we force change, but when we finally feel heard.
No two people walk into therapy with the same story. That's why my approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw from evidence-based therapeutic approaches while ensuring that every session is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect for your unique journey.
Whether you're navigating a crisis, working through long-standing patterns, or simply looking to understand yourself better, my hope is that therapy becomes a space where you find clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels most authentic.
I'm glad you're here, and I hope this can be a safe place for you to begin.

Book a SessionThe Modalities
Structured, evidence-based approaches that help you understand and reshape the thoughts, beliefs, and patterns influencing how you feel, respond, and navigate life's challenges.
Relaxation-based approaches that help calm the mind and body, increase self-awareness, and gently access deeper emotional patterns to support meaningful change.
A warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental approach where your experiences are heard with empathy and respect. Therapy moves at your pace, creating space for insight, healing, and growth.
An inclusive and affirming therapeutic space that respects diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. Therapy is grounded in acceptance, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to helping you feel safe, seen, and understood.
Reflective and supportive supervision for psychologists and mental health professionals, focused on strengthening clinical skills, ethical practice, professional confidence, and therapist wellbeing.
No single approach works for everyone. Alongside psychotherapy, I thoughtfully integrate evidence-based practices such as EFT Tapping, Sound Healing, and other therapeutic techniques where appropriate, ensuring that each therapeutic journey is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and lived experience.

A Place For You
Sometimes our development doesn't look like sudden, big changes. It could be quiet moments of reflection, experimenting with different ways of being, and the courage to put one foot in front of the other.
Like nature, growth can be gentle and unfolding in its own time.
Book a SessionGood to Know
The first session is an opportunity for us to understand your concerns, your history, and what brings you to therapy. Together, we'll discuss your goals and decide on the most appropriate way forward.
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a life transition, facing relationship challenges, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, therapy can offer a supportive space to explore what you're experiencing.
The frequency of therapy depends on your goals and concerns. Some people benefit from short-term therapy, while others prefer longer-term support. We'll review your progress together and decide on a pace that feels appropriate for you.
