About
I'm Payal. Therapy with me is calm, candid and quietly practical.
For 5+ years I've sat with people in their hardest, most tender moments — and watched them rebuild a steadier relationship with their own minds. My work is rooted in REBT and CBT, two of the most researched modalities in modern psychology.
I trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy under internationally recognised mentors, including programs affiliated with the Albert Ellis Institute. But the credentials are only the floor — what shapes my practice is years of really listening.
People don't usually arrive in therapy because something dramatic happened. They arrive because something quiet has been wearing them down — a relationship that loops, a critical inner voice, an anxiety that won't sit still. My job is to help you see the pattern, name it, and slowly rewrite it.
Sessions are warm and structured. We'll talk like humans. We'll also do real work — the kind that actually changes how you feel between Tuesday and Friday.
