Gowri A.V.

As a counseling psychologist based in Bangalore, my primary goal is to help individuals enhance their mental health through effective and reliable methods. I hold a master’s degree in counseling psychology and have trained in several key areas, including suicide prevention, parenting guidance, couples therapy, and the use of storytelling as a therapeutic tool. I have a particular focus on supporting the LGBTQ+ community, treating each individual with kindness and hope.

I also work with children and teenagers, employing techniques that assist them in managing their emotions and behaviors. This approach enables me to address a wide range of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, and family challenges. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where clients can openly share their thoughts and feelings.

In my practice, I implement specific strategies to help individuals change negative thought patterns and develop mindfulness. Understanding that everyone is unique, I tailor my methods to fit each person’s experiences. It is important for me to provide care that is sensitive to individuals’ past experiences, helping them talk through their struggles and work toward healing.

I am an experienced counseling psychologist with over three years of clinical experience, during which I have conducted more than 800 therapeutic sessions, both virtually and in-person. I focus on adult relationships, family dynamics, and workplace issues, with an emphasis on personal development.

My approach prioritizes a non-judgmental therapeutic alliance, fostering a safe space for self-expression. I use an eclectic methodology, integrating various modalities, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailored to each client’s needs.

Additionally, I have expertise in counseling children, educators, and parents, designing targeted programs for holistic well-being. My calm demeanor, resilience, and active listening skills provide validation and support throughout the therapeutic journey.
