A space for growth, healing and emotional well-being
Navigate Emotional Challenges and Life Transitions with Confidence
About me
I am Poonam Shenoy, a counseling psychologist in private practice, offering a safe, confidential space for individuals and couples to explore their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My approach is grounded in empathy, thoughtful listening, and evidence-informed practices including CBT, REBT, ACT, Gottman Couple Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. I work collaboratively, at a pace that suits you, with a focus on meaningful and sustainable change. Before transitioning into psychology, I spent nearly a decade in international banking with HSBC across Dubai and India — an experience that shaped my understanding of professional pressure, conflict resolution, and emotional containment. These themes continue to inform my therapeutic work today. I also collaborate part-time with a maritime wellness organisation, providing mental health support, wellbeing training, and behavioural assessments for seafarers of various nationalities and ranks. I work with NRI clients globally, accommodating counseling sessions across time zones.
Compassionate Support, Real Solutions
A safe confidential space where you can speak openly about your thoughts and experiences without judgement. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or seeking greater self understanding, these sessions are designed to help you find clarity, process emotions, and move forward with a stronger sense of balance and direction.
All relationships go through phases of strain and disconnection. These sessions offer a neutral supportive space for both partners to express themselves and feel heard. The focus is on improving communication, understanding each other's perspectives, and working through challenges in a way that strengthens connection and mutual respect.
Dedicated Workplace Wellness Workshops
Professional demands can impact both mental and emotional well-being. These sessions support individuals and teams in managing stress, navigating workplace relationships, and maintaining healthier work-life balance. The aim is to foster resilience, improve overall well-being, and create a more supportive and effective work environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of therapy do you offer?
My approach is eclectic — meaning I don't follow a single rigid method. I draw from a range of evidence-informed practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gottman Couple Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. The approach I use will always depend on your individual needs, goals, and what feels most helpful for you.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can be beneficial for anyone facing stress, emotional difficulties, or significant life changes. If you find yourself struggling with your thoughts or feelings, or if your relationships are suffering, seeking professional support is a proactive step toward understanding and healing.
How does the process of therapy work?
The therapy process begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your concerns and goals. Together, we will create a tailored plan that suits your needs. Throughout our sessions, you will have a safe space to express yourself and explore your thoughts, guided by my expertise. The process is collaborative — we move at a pace that works for you, and the work doesn't stop when the session ends. You will be encouraged to reflect and work on yourself in between sessions, as lasting change often happens in the small, everyday moments.

My standard fee for individual and couples therapy sessions is competitive and reflects the level of expertise provided. Please contact me directly for specific pricing information and to discuss any potential options for sliding scale fees if needed.
Do you offer services for couples?
Absolutely. I offer dedicated couples therapy services aimed at improving communication, resolving conflicts, and enhancing emotional connection. Couples can benefit from tailored sessions that focus on their unique dynamics and challenges.
