Counselor Details

Sunitha Rathod SR M

Introduction

I am a Psychology postgraduate with practical exposure in clinical and counselling settings through internships and supervised practice. My work with children, adolescents, and adults has strengthened my interest in emotional wellbeing, behavioural concerns, and personal growth.

I aim to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can openly share their thoughts and feelings. My approach focuses on understanding each person’s unique experiences and helping them build practical coping skills to manage everyday challenges effectively.

With training in CBT-based techniques and foundational exposure to ACT, DBT, and Solution-Focused approaches, I strive to provide structured, ethical, and client-centered support. I remain committed to continuous learning and growth as I advance in my clinical journey.

“Creating a safe space for healing, growth, and emotional resilience.”
