Pooja began her journey into the world of psychology at a fairly young age with a natural inclination to observing and trying to fathom the nuances of human behaviour. She decided to formalize this interest by undertaking the proper study of psychology.

After working in Human Resources for more than a decade with organizations such as Ernst and Young, Bharti Airtel and Kotak, she is now a full-time counsellor and advocate of mental health. She adopts a holistic approach to counselling and firmly believes that counselling is not about rescuing the individual but helping them find their way to the shore. Her aim is to help others become a better version of themselves by manifesting a state of mental fulfilment or serenity faced with experiences that life inevitably throws at all of us.
