About:
Hi, I'm Suveni (she/her), a psychotherapist at Sanctum Foundation - and I truly believe that while therapy is serious and very important, it doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly rigid. It can be a space that’s warm, and genuinely human. I completed my Master’s in Applied Psychology, with a specialisation in Clinical and Counselling Practice, from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, in 2022. I’ve learned the most by being present with people - asking, listening, and making room for the messy, complicated parts of life that don’t always make sense right away. My approach to therapy I believe that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all; each person deserves a space that feels uniquely theirs. I work from an eclectic framework, drawing from person-centred therapy as my base, while also incorporating tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Art Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Talk Therapy, depending on what feels right for you. Who I work with I’ve had the chance to work with adolescents, young adults and middle-aged adults navigating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, family conflicts, emotional and behavioural challenges, and anger management. Every story is different, and I try to meet each person where they are. At the heart of my work is the intention to offer a space that feels safe, accepting, and free of judgement - a space where you can show up as you are, think out loud, explore, and feel heard. I care deeply about honouring the complexities that each individual brings into the room, and I strive to make those differences feel seen, understood, and supported.
