Hello, My name is Dr Vyashali,

I am a psychiatrist committed to a patient-centred, evidence-based approach that values each individual's story, strengths, and life context as much as their symptoms. My clinical practice combines structured psychiatric assessment and modern evidence-based treatments with yoga-based psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions, and principles of integrative mental healthcare where appropriate. Alongside clinical practice, I am passionate about mental health education, mentoring young doctors, and making mental healthcare more accessible and holistic.

    Hello, My name is Ananta,

    A counselling psychologist who works closely with children and teenagers as they navigate the emotional and social challenges of growing up.

    I create a space where young people can slow down, share openly, and feel truly heard—whether they’re sorting through big feelings, family dynamics, friendships, or questions about who they are becoming.

    I have also worked at Crayons Super Speciality Clinic and have learnt how to use creative approaches like art, play, and gentle reflection which help them to express what’s hard to put into words.

    At the heart of my work is a simple belief: every young person deserves support that meets them with patience, curiosity, and genuine care. My role is to walk beside them and help them reconnect with their own strengths.
