Hello and welcome! I am Salini Govada and I am so happy to see you here. I am so glad that you have taken this step to reinvent yourself and create a change in your life. There may be a number of things bothering you and you may/maynot have someone to honestly share it with. You may feel that others may misunderstand you or judge you and you may lose the person if you share what you are feeling truly. You may seek for someone who will not only understand you, but also keep your secrets safe, be non-judgemental and be a helping hand in your trouble. That is exactly what you are going to receive here. I know seeking out to a counsellor is a huge step and you may be afraid or uncomfortable in doing so the first time. However, I assure you, that this will be a safe space and I am ready to give you more clarity on the counseling process and answer all the questions you have about it. My general style includes a collaborative approach, and open communication with the client wherein we understand the difficulties, dig deeper and resolve them with best possible strategies. I like to establish therapeutic goals along with the client and I work towards enhancing the skills to make sure that the goals are met.

I earned my Masters degree in Applied Psychology with a specialization of Counseling from St Francis Degree and PG College for Women, and I am a skilled, patient, empathetic, compassionate, warm and thoughtful professional dedicated to providing extensive care and help to all those in need. I am trained and equipped with sufficient knowledge in applying and integrating various approaches of counselling. I attend a number of workshops and constantly seek knowledge to improve my skills. I have field experience in working with different age groups including students, children, and adults and I have dealt with people experiencing depression, anxiety, anger and performance issues, self-esteem concerns, body image issues, trauma, ADHD, emotional disorders, etc. Throughout my experience, I have not only helped a number of people, provided them with this comfort space, but I have also learnt a lot from them.

I believe that everyone has a lot to offer and there is so much that can be learnt from each and every person. I also believe that you are doing the best of what you can with your given resources and I am here to assist you further in achieving your goals and becoming what you want to be. I am looking forward to hearing from you and working alongside you.
