Relationship Counselling for Couples & Individuals

We always fight with our partner for 'something'..

 

Fighting to be heard, fighting to be treated better, fighting for peace of mind or fighting for more intimacy.

 

What we’re fighting for usually makes total sense—but we still end up in stressful, spiralling conflicts where we hurt each other and don't get what we actually want.​

I help couples grow through these challenges, get what they want from their relationships and stay connected and intimate while doing that. I specialise in Relational Life Therapy or RLT (what's this?), which helps any two people in a relationship who:
 

  •  Feel stuck in recurring, emotionally heavy arguments.

  • Avoid bringing things up to prevent conflict

  • Feel a growing distance from each other and want to reconnect.

  • Feel criticised or blamed by one another.
     

My approach focuses on creating a safe, judgement-free space for a couple, understanding the root of their conflicts and identifying ways for them to lead a balanced, liberating and satisfying relationship.

My Approach

Hands in Unity

Authentic Human Connection

From my past relationships, I know how hard it is to feel stuck and disconnected from my partner. That experience fuels my work and helps me connect with clients on a personal level. You can expect gentle, firm and honest conversations in our sessions.

Research-backed Conflict Analysis

Along with RLT, I draw insights from my training in Gottman's Method for couples therapy, which is based on extensive research with 3000 couples across 40 years and accurately predicts what makes relationships fail or succeed.

Globally and Culturally Attuned

I was born in India, and now live in Berlin with my partner who is from Canada. Having lived and worked across cultures, I understand how differences in background and communication can either divide or enrich a relationship. I help couples turn those differences into strengths.

What is Relational Life Therapy?

Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a bold, transformative approach to couples work developed by renowned therapist and author Terry Real.

Unlike traditional therapies that focus solely on communication skills or insight, RLT dives deeper—challenging power imbalances, calling out toxic patterns with compassion, and helping partners reconnect with honesty and accountability.

It’s a direct yet deeply respectful method that blends psychological insight with direct coaching, making it especially effective for modern relationships.

Intimate relationships are not luxuries, but fundamental to human life.
