From me to you

Why I Do This Work

Hi, I'm Kinjal. Before being a psychologist, I'm simply a person who has moved through and continues to move through different phases of life. I, too, revisit old wounds, sometimes through the eyes of newer versions of myself.

From a young age, I found myself drawn to philosophy, psychology, and the complexities of human behaviour. What began as a desire to understand and help myself gradually grew into a desire to create that understanding and support for others.

I know what it feels like to long for a space where you aren't met with preconceived notions, where you can speak your mind, be heard, and simply be yourself. This space is my attempt to offer that, to the best of my capacity.

It would be an honour to support you in the journey you choose for your wellbeing.

I do not take that lightly - and I hope you can feel that when we meet.

How I work

My Approach

Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process. The aim isn't to “fix” you because you were never something that needed fixing.

Sessions are a space to slow down, unwind, revisit what may have been left unresolved, and understand yourself a little more deeply. We may use conversations, self-reflection, and different therapeutic tools along the way.

I don't want therapy to decide what your life should look like or tell you what choices to make. Instead, I hope to create enough space for you to explore what feels right for you and arrive at your own answers.

I bring the tools, perspective, and support I can offer; you bring your willingness to explore. We work with what comes up, at a pace that feels meaningful to you.

We integrate talk therapy, mindfulness, and aspects of conventional psychotherapy, without making the process feel overly technical or like you're being processed.

Human-to-human connection will always remain at the heart of our work.

A space where nothing you say is too much

What you share is held with care and kept confidential, within the ethical and legal boundaries of therapy. The few exceptions related to safety are discussed with you upfront, so you always know what to expect and never have to wonder what happens behind the door.

Grounded in your life, culture, and context

Therapy should make sense within the life you actually live. We respect your beliefs, values, culture, and the things that are meaningful to you, we don't work against them.

If there are parts of your beliefs or cultural practices that bring you comfort, strength, or a sense of meaning, we don't want to take those away from you. Our role is to help you navigate the difficulties you're facing while making space for what matters to you.

We move at your pace, not a fixed agenda

You are the expert on your own experience. My role is to listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and walk alongside you, not ahead of you.

Some things may be difficult to revisit, and a little discomfort can sometimes be part of growth. But we will never push you into something you are not ready to face. We work at a pace that allows you to feel safe enough to explore, while still leaving room for meaningful change.

We look at the full picture, not just symptoms

Thoughts, feelings, relationships, and the body all have a place in the conversation. Sometimes, what shows up as the problem is only a part of a bigger picture.

We don't just focus on managing symptoms, we also try to understand what may be happening behind them, what they might be connected to, and what is keeping them going. We work on easing what you're experiencing while also making space to understand and address what lies underneath.

If This Feels Right, Let's Take the First Step

You do not need a polished email or a perfect summary of what is wrong. A few imperfect sentences are enough to start. I will meet you there - and we can figure out the rest side by side.
