Arvind Shankar Raj

Associate Counsellor

During a personal crisis in his 20s, Arvind discovered therapy. His breakthroughs led to a firm belief in letting the authentic self-shine through. --Arvind has always been an explorer, a free spirit who refuses to be tied down. He explored several careers without fulfilment. He settled on applied psychology after going through a personal crisis in his late 20s. Interest led to profession as he discovered a natural aptitude for psychology.

Prior to this, Arvind has volunteered as a counsellor at non-government organisations and educational institutions. He has also practiced at a reputed college in Bangalore. Throughout his journey, he has prioritized learning and upgrading his skills. Arvind has completed his Masters in Clinical Psychology and has six years of experience working as a Counselling Psychologist. With an eclectic/holistic approach, he blends evidence-based practices from various therapeutic modalities to tailor sessions to each client’s unique needs.

Arvind believes therapy can lead to big breakthroughs. He sees regular therapy as a healing journey of self-acceptance. Through his practice he strives to empower people towards recognising, owning, and celebrating oneself.

Along with being a therapist, Arvind continues to be committed to his therapy. He is always looking for learning opportunities through which he can contribute to his clients.

Being an avid explorer, he has multiple interests that include martial arts, hiking/trekking, music, reading, poetry, motorcycling, travelling and singing.
