Hemanshi Arora
Consultant Psychologist
Hey, This is Hemanshi! I am a classical Bharatnatyam Dancer and a Yoga Trainer on the side, and a Psychologist by profession. I did my Masters in Psychosocial Clinical Studies from Ambedkar University which informs my humanistic and person centered approach to therapy. I also borrow a lot from the Psychodynamic school of thought as well as Narrative and Expressive Arts therapies. I believe that the ‘Personal is Political’, so therapy becomes a space of exploration and conversation for the larger socio-political discourses and differences. I am inquisitive and curious which lends well to the necessity for consistent research and analysis for every individual client in therapy. I have worked in the capacity of a Field Investigator with Ambedkar University, volunteered for a Trauma Informed NGO that employs Art Based Interventions for children and have been working as a Support Group Co-Facilitator and Peer Listener. As an ethical practitioner, client-therapist confidentiality, objective non-judgment and respect for one’s dignity are some of the most valuable codes of conduct for me.
