Shruti Gandhi

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 a passionate social worker from Kerala, dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. My main aim is to offer caring support to those facing personal challenges. I believe in empowering my clients to overcome difficulties and build their strength.

Currently, I work as a research assistant at a well-respected NGO in Trivandrum. In this role, I help with important research projects that aim to improve mental health support in our communities. I collaborate with a team of professionals to analyze information and create programs that can make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families, especially those who may not have easy access to mental health resources.

Aside from my research work, I also provide counseling services. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for people seeking help. Building trust with my clients is essential for effective counseling, and I work hard to establish that connection.

Throughout my journey, I have seen how powerful mental health support can be. I take a holistic approach, which means I look at not only a person’s mental state but also the social factors that affect their well-being. By considering different influences, I hope to inspire hope and encourage individuals on their paths to recovery and personal growth.
