A Note from Me
Hi, I’m a counseling psychologist and the founder of Kural.
Rooted in compassion and cultural awareness, this practice is built on the belief that everyone's life carries a voice. It could be soft or strong, clear or quiet. Nonetheless, I believe that each voice deserves to be heard and honoured. I’m here to walk with you as you rediscover yours.
My Philosophy at work?
I believe therapy is not about fixing you, rather it’s about meeting yourself with kindness and acceptance.
It’s a space to slow down, notice what’s unfolding within, and begin listening to your own truth.

FAQ's
What is psychotherapy and how can it help me?
Psychotherapy is a safe, confidential space where we explore your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and life experiences. It can help you navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, or simply feeling stuck. And my thoughts on it, it’s not about fixing you, rather, it’s about understanding you.
What can I expect in the first session?
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You can share what brings you to therapy, your expectations. I’ll ask a few questions to better understand your needs and goals. There’s no pressure to dive into anything too deep, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or curious about yourself, therapy can help. You don’t need to have a “diagnosis” to benefit from therapy. It’s for anyone who wants to understand themselves better or resolve ongoing emotional conflict to live a intentional and meaningful life.
How long does therapy take?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come for a few sessions to work through a specific issue, while others prefer long-term support. We’ll regularly check in to see how therapy is feeling for you and adjust accordingly. Remember that it is a mutual and collaborative space. To simply put, you get to decide on how often and how long you want to avail sessions, while we could provide you guidance based on our experience.
How often do I need to come for therapy?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions inorder to proactively work on the presenting concern. As therapy progresses, some shift to fortnightly or monthly check-ins. We'll decide together what works best for you.
Is everything I share confidential?
Yes. What you share in therapy stays private. The only exceptions are rare situations where your safety (or someone else’s) is at risk or for any legal mandates and even then, we’ll talk about it together.
What if I feel nervous or unsure about opening up?
That’s completely okay and very common. Therapy is a space where all parts of you are welcome, including your uncertainty. You’re in control of what you share, and we’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, we offer secure and confidential online sessions for those who prefer the comfort and convenience of being in their own space. All you need is a quiet room, a stable internet connection, and yourself. Services are available on phone calls as well.
