Certification programmes

Two programmes.
Both built for depth.

Not survey courses. Structured certifications designed around what actually needs to shift in the clinician — not just what needs to be known.

Programme I

Couple Therapist Certification Programme

Gottman-informed · Culturally adapted · India context

Most couple therapy training was built for Western relational contexts. This one wasn't.

Gottman-informed and structured around the full clinical arc — broken down, culturally adapted, and rebuilt for the Indian relational landscape. Family systems, cultural expectations, gender dynamics, generational inheritance: the things that standard frameworks treat as peripheral are built into the methodology here.

Therapists already certified in Gottman consistently describe this version as the one that made the methodology actually usable.

  • Problem identification and clinical assessment
  • Targeted intervention frameworks
  • Advanced and complex case formulation
  • Cultural adaptation in relational work
  • Working with the relational system, not just the couple

Programme II

Trauma-Informed Practice Certification

Somatic · Attachment · Memory reconsolidation

Trauma-aware is not the same as trauma-informed. This certification is for therapists who want to close that gap — and understand why it exists.

Integrates three bodies of knowledge most often taught in isolation: somatic approaches, attachment as a clinical lens, and memory reconsolidation work. The result is a coherent framework for trauma that lives in the body, in relationships, and in the implicit patterns that talking alone rarely reaches.

Designed for clinicians already in practice. Not a survey — a structured integration of the approaches with the strongest evidence and the most direct application.

  • Somatic approaches to trauma processing
  • Attachment theory as clinical formulation tool
  • Memory reconsolidation — theory and application
  • Integrating modalities without losing coherence
  • Complex presentations and treatment planning

Individual supervision

Supervision that takes your
clinical thinking seriously.

The therapists I supervise aren't struggling with the basics. They're working with cases where something important is happening in the room — something the standard supervision frameworks don't quite have language for.

"Structure with warmth." That's what supervisees consistently describe. The structure gives them a place to bring the hard cases. The relational quality of the supervision itself becomes the model.

Supervision is individual, relational, and built around attachment-informed and developmental frameworks. It's designed for therapists working with relational complexity, trauma that doesn't announce itself, and presentations that require more than technique.

I work with therapists across India and internationally. All supervision is conducted online.

Format

Individual only. 50-minute sessions. Online. Frequency shaped by caseload and need.

Framework

Attachment-informed and developmental. Relationally grounded. Case-led. Draws on the same theoretical foundations as the certification programmes.

Who it suits

Early-career and experienced clinicians. Therapists in India and internationally. Anyone wanting to work with relational and developmental complexity more precisely.

CPD hours

Hours count toward CPD and further certification requirements. Confirmation on request.

"The goal isn't therapists who know more. It's therapists who are more present, more precise, and more confident when it matters."

Three things distinguish this training from the field. They're not marketing claims — they're built into the methodology and reflected in what participants consistently report back.

I

Clinical rigour that earns its place

Everything taught is grounded in the research — Gottman Method, attachment theory, somatic and memory reconsolidation work. The frameworks are sophisticated. The application is precise. No eclecticism for its own sake. Theory is here because it works, not because it's credible.

II

Cultural intelligence built in

Working across 11+ countries and co-founding a platform for diverse populations has shaped how these frameworks are taught. Western models are starting points, not endpoints. The cultural layer is in the methodology — not bolted on as a caveat or an afterthought.

III

Immediately usable

The consistent feedback from every programme: people leave knowing what to do next. Complex frameworks get simplified without being flattened. Structure without rigidity. The clinical thinking is available in the room — not just legible on paper.

About

I came into clinical work through a particular kind of curiosity — less about what was wrong with people, and more about why capable, relational, functioning humans kept arriving at the same stuck places. That question has shaped everything: the specialisations I pursued, the populations I sought out, and the frameworks I've spent years learning to work with precision.

I spent years building mental health systems at scale — co-founding a Singapore-based platform that reached over 2 million users, designing psychological first aid models for digital delivery, leading clinical teams across borders. That work taught me something that deepens everything I do in training and supervision: how much context shapes what's clinical, and how much culture shapes what's relational.

The programmes I run were built because the training I wanted didn't exist — rigorous enough to hold clinically, culturally grounded enough to work with real people, and structured enough that you leave knowing what to do next.

I work with therapists at different stages — from early-career clinicians building their clinical identity to experienced practitioners deepening a niche. My international work, across 11+ countries, means the cultural dimension of clinical practice is never an afterthought in anything I teach.

Individual therapy

A small number of individual clients.

My clinical work with individuals is limited and selective. Adults navigating developmental trauma, attachment injuries, and the kind of high-functioning exhaustion that doesn't show. If this resonates and you'd like to be considered, you're welcome to reach out. I'll always be direct about availability and fit.

Limited availability · Waitlist open

"For the life that looks fine from the outside."

Developmental trauma · Attachment injuries · High-functioning burnout · Relational patterns · Adults in their 30s and 40s.
