Himani – Clinical Psychologist in Paschim Vihar, New Delhi, India

I am Himani, a Clinical Psychologist in Paschim Vihar, New Delhi, with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Amity University and extensive professional experience in the mental health field. Over the years, I have worked with individuals from different age groups and backgrounds, supporting them through emotional, behavioural, psychological, and relationship-related concerns.

My professional experience includes working in a psychiatric facility and a de-addiction centre, along with conducting psychology and mental health awareness workshops. These experiences have helped me develop a practical understanding of the different challenges people may face and the importance of providing psychological care that is respectful, individualised, and compassionate.

I am a member of the Counsellors Council of India and have completed training in Clinical Hypnotherapy up to Level 2. My work incorporates evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), harm reduction approaches, and relaxation techniques, depending on the individual's concerns and therapeutic goals.

My Educational Background and Professional Experience

I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Amity University and have continued developing my professional knowledge through training, workshops, and practical clinical experience.

I have approximately three years of experience in a psychiatric facility, where I provided psychological support to individuals experiencing a variety of mental health difficulties. I also spent one year working in a de-addiction centre, gaining experience in supporting people dealing with substance-use concerns and related emotional and behavioural challenges.

Alongside clinical work, I have participated in and conducted psychology-related workshops, mental health awareness programs, and corporate stress-management sessions.

This combination of clinical exposure and community-oriented mental health work has strengthened my ability to understand psychological concerns from different perspectives.

Psychological Concerns I Work With

People seek psychological support for many different reasons. Some may be experiencing a specific mental health concern, while others may simply feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unable to cope with a difficult phase of life.

My areas of practice include:

Anxiety and Overthinking

Persistent worry, fear, nervousness, racing thoughts, and overthinking can interfere with everyday life. Anxiety may also affect concentration, sleep, relationships, and work or academic performance.

I help individuals understand the thoughts, emotions, and situations that contribute to anxiety and work towards developing healthier coping mechanisms and emotional-management skills.

Stress Management

Ongoing personal, academic, professional, or family-related pressure can become difficult to manage. Stress may affect mood, concentration, sleep, relationships, and overall well-being.

Through counselling and relaxation-based techniques, I support individuals in recognising stress triggers, understanding their responses, and developing practical strategies to handle challenging situations more effectively.

Depression and Emotional Difficulties

Low mood, reduced motivation, loss of interest, emotional exhaustion, persistent sadness, and difficulty managing everyday responsibilities can be signs that professional support may be helpful.

Counselling provides a safe environment to explore these experiences and identify patterns that may be affecting emotional well-being. Therapy can also focus on developing healthier thinking patterns, coping skills, and everyday routines.

Relationship and Interpersonal Concerns

Relationships can sometimes become challenging because of communication problems, misunderstandings, trust concerns, emotional distance, recurring disagreements, or difficulty expressing needs.

I provide a supportive space where individuals can explore their relationship experiences, understand emotional patterns, improve communication, and develop healthier ways of responding to interpersonal difficulties.

De-addiction and Substance-Use Concerns

My experience in a de-addiction centre has given me professional exposure to substance-use-related concerns. I support individuals in understanding the emotional, behavioural, and situational factors that may contribute to substance use.

Depending on the person's circumstances, therapeutic work may include identifying triggers, improving coping strategies, strengthening motivation, managing difficult emotions, and applying appropriate harm-reduction principles.

Phobias and Fear-Related Concerns

Strong or persistent fears can sometimes make everyday activities difficult. Individuals may avoid particular situations, places, objects, or experiences because of their fear or anxiety.

Psychological intervention can help individuals understand their fear responses and learn healthier ways of managing anxiety associated with specific fears and situations.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD can involve recurring unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviours or mental processes that create distress. These experiences can interfere with daily functioning and quality of life.

I provide psychological support to help individuals understand their experiences and develop appropriate coping and therapeutic strategies.

Emotional Regulation

Managing intense emotions can be difficult, particularly during periods of stress or conflict. Some individuals may struggle with anger, frustration, anxiety, sadness, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

Using techniques informed by approaches such as DBT, I help individuals develop skills related to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier responses to difficult situations.

Self-Esteem and Personal Confidence

Negative self-perception, repeated criticism, difficult experiences, or challenging relationships can affect how individuals view themselves.

Therapy can provide an opportunity to explore unhelpful thinking patterns, understand personal strengths, and develop a more balanced and constructive approach towards oneself.

Life Changes and Personal Challenges

Major changes in education, career, relationships, family circumstances, or other areas of life can bring uncertainty and emotional pressure.

Psychological counselling can offer a confidential space to process these changes, understand emotions, identify practical coping strategies, and work towards personal goals.

Therapeutic Approaches I Use

I believe therapy should be tailored to the individual. Depending on the person's concerns, circumstances, and goals, I may use different evidence-based psychological approaches.

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours and developing healthier patterns of thinking and responding.

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.

• Harm Reduction approaches may be relevant when working with substance-use concerns, with the aim of supporting safer and healthier behavioural choices.

• Relaxation techniques, including breathing and mindfulness-based practices, may be used to help individuals manage stress and emotional tension.

• Clinical Hypnotherapy up to Level 2 and may use appropriate hypnotherapy techniques when clinically suitable.

Psychological Assessment and Therapy

My professional experience includes conducting and interpreting psychometric assessments for children and adults. Psychological assessments can help provide a structured understanding of specific cognitive, emotional, behavioural, or personality-related areas, depending on the assessment being used.

I also have experience providing individual and group therapy, with sessions designed around the person's concerns and therapeutic objectives.

My Approach to Psychological Care

I believe that a good therapeutic relationship begins with listening without judgment. Every person's experiences are different, and I do not believe in applying a single approach to everyone.

As a mental health professional, I aim to be empathetic, open-minded, approachable, and respectful. I encourage individuals to discuss their concerns at their own pace while maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality.

My approach is patient-centred and focuses on understanding the individual as a whole rather than looking only at a particular symptom or problem. Where appropriate, therapy focuses on developing practical coping skills that individuals can use in their everyday lives.

Languages and Online Counselling

I provide psychological support in English, Hindi, and Punjabi.

Through Medavas, individuals can access counselling through convenient online formats such as video sessions, audio sessions, and chat counselling, depending on the service selected.

Online psychological support can be a convenient option for people who prefer counselling from the comfort of their own surroundings.
