About Me

My Journey

My journey into counseling started with a desire to create, initially aspiring to be in the field of fashion. However, life had a different plan for me. As an emerging adult, I found solace in therapy, which helped me understand myself and the world around me, leading me to navigate through my own discord. This personal experience inspired me to delve deeper into psychology and eventually pursue a career in helping others flourish into the individuals they want to be.

 

With a Masters in counseling psychology from Christ University, I underwent extensive practical training to counsel clients effectively. Working with diverse individuals from all walks of life, I realized that my specialization lies in working with both the body and mind, recognizing the powerful nexus between the two.

Subikshadeepa, Psychotherapist

​​

​I hold certifications as an Internationally certified Dance Movement Facilitator from the Creative Movement Therapy Association of India (CMTAI) and as a queer affirmative therapist from Mariwala Health Initiative (MHI), taking a feminist approach. I actively resist and break free from prevailing frameworks that limit individuals to societal norms, believing in the innate ability of each client to know what's best for themselves.

 

Continuous self-assessment and ongoing training are essential aspects of my professional growth, and I work closely with supervisors to ensure the highest quality of care for my clients. Currently, I live in Melbourne, Australia pursuing my second masters from Monash university to add in a social framework.

 

In my free time, you'll find me indulging in my artistic nature, asking questions, making playlists,trying something new in kitchen, watching Netflix, and planning trips!

 

What I Do

In my practice, I work closely with clients who are dedicated to the process of self-discovery and growth. Each session offers a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can freely share your thoughts and emotions. Our therapeutic journey together is collaborative, goal-oriented, and even fun. I firmly believe that clients are their own experts, and I learn as much from them as they do from me.

 

Embracing creativity as a vital aspect of therapy, I encourage clients to take the lead and drive the process forward. As an Internationally certified Dance Movement Facilitator, I bring a unique and creative approach to counseling. I recognize the profound connection between the body and mind, and I use dance, movement, and other creative modalities to empower clients on their healing journey.

 

My Approach to Therapy

In my practice, I take a trauma-informed, queer affirmative approach with a strong inclination towards the humanistic school of thought along with a focus on systemic lens. I am committed to providing evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs.

Language Known

I offer counseling services in Tamil and English. And I can comprehend Hindi as well.
