About

My life’s work is based on three pillars for better mental health– knowledge acquisition with distribution, intervention, and prevention. For knowledge acquisition, I am a keen researcher passionate about garnering home grown empirical data on suicidality and its associated factors in order to guide prevention. Knowledge acquired I distribute through teaching academic courses at the university, publishing in peer-reviewed articles, serving as a peer- reviewer for SAGE and Wiley publications and presenting academic papers during academic conferences including the American Psychological Association (APA) annual conference. The interventional part of my work is through clinical psychotherapy offered to adolescents and adults as part of individual psychotherapy, couple’s therapy and/or family therapy. With this population, focus is on acquisition of insight and gaining of skills useful in navigating everyday life challenges. For the prevention aspect, I offer mental health trainings targeting primary and secondary schools, universities, corporates, churches, hospitals and book clubs. I have also translated psycho-social jargon into my first self-published non-fictional book – “The 7 essential life skills no-one taught you: How to protect your mental health and effectively maneuver relationship challenges.” - under my pen name the Singing Brain Doctor.
