Emotional overwhelm is not a flaw. It is a system under strain.

I am Bhavini Shah, Clinical Psychologist (M.A., Mumbai University, 2004), with over 20 years of experience across psychiatric clinics, rehabilitation centres, special education systems, NGOs, and government collaborations.

My work has spanned:

• Trauma intervention with 26/11 survivors at the Taj
• Women under trial in prisons
• Children and adolescents with Autism and ADHD
• Youth in conflict with the criminal-judicial system
• Stress , work life balance , burn out and emotional regulation programs for adults and professionals

These diverse settings shaped a deep, systemic understanding of trauma, resilience, and human behaviour across contexts.

My advanced training includes CBT, REBT, Robert Carkhuff’s Counseling Model, Play Therapy (British Association–affiliated supervision), Gestalt Therapy, NLP, Arts-Based Therapy, DrumBeat facilitation (Australia), and Teacher Level in Usui Reiki.

Through Thrive with Bhavini, I work with high-functioning adults and teens who are capable on the outside but internally overwhelmed.

My approach integrates clinical psychology, nervous system regulation, cognitive restructuring, somatic practices, and structured self-inquiry.

This is steady, evidence-informed psychological work — designed to help you regulate emotions, rebuild self-trust, and cope without abandoning yourself.
