About Me - Therapy With Shaurya

Srinithi Raghuraman, Counseling Psychologist

Shaurya stands out for me as a passionate learner and a patient listener. As a fellow peer, I’ve seen the amount of effort she puts in to always deliver the best to clients. During our various training sessions, I would wait for a chance to work with her because of how thoughtful, balanced and understanding she is. So much that I always feel positive, renewed and inspired after talking to her. I wish her all the best.

Each post on Shaurya’s mental health blog seems to have an impact on the audience viewing it. Through her posts, she spreads a very positive energy among the people and that is the major strength and uniqueness of her Instagram account and content. This type of work surely takes a lot of effort but it portrays her dedication towards the community. Her work as a mental health advocate is great! She is being and bringing change in the society. A lot of love and wishes her way.

Swati Gupta, Counseling Psychologist

I have known Shaurya personally and as a peer for two years. I consider her one of my closest friends and can speak with confidence that she will be a great addition to the therapists in our field. She is a patient listener and always has a comforting presence. She is a supportive friend, confronts/offers the hard truth when necessary and allows me to experience my emotions fully, when I need to. She offers her opinion, when asked and doesn't inundate a person with uncalled for advice. As a peer, she is always curious, asks questions, thinks critically and wants to learn. That is the best kind of person that you want to be surrounded within a learning environment, because it propels community learning and mutual growth. I feel grateful to know her in both these spaces (as a friend + as a peer) and I look forward to supporting her in her professional and personal journey in any way I can.

In our first semester, we had to write an assignment on what we consider most important for our professional development. After the submissions, our professor praised Shaurya for her writing and asked her to read it out to the batch. She had talked of “failures”. I was delighted to hear her life story and how she progressed. I was intrigued with her different and energetic vibe. I have seen her to have evolved a lot. By the end of our course, she was supporting all the batchmates, acknowledging them, showing interest and connecting with everyone. The amount of work she does before sessions, inspired me to take up additional reading. Some of her Instagram posts are really nice and I have saved some for myself. Her live sessions are enjoyable and I want to read more looking at her reading lists. From publishing articles to being a panelist at discussions, she tries every platform for mental health advocacy. I once watched a video in which the Psychologist said "a good therapist spends most of the time outside the session" and I think Shaurya does that. I love the way she takes her holidays seriously. Her self care is on point! She is living up to her name.

I always find Shaurya to be analytic in different things. Her perspective is very impactful to her clients during her psychotherapy process. I have learnt a lot from her. Her Instagram page lights up my brain with more information! It helps people see themselves differently and helps me with my counseling sessions as well. She is an organised professional and many people are benefitting through her work. I always wish her the best in her career.

Ryan Stephenson Singh, Counseling Psychologist

I have known Shaurya for two years. Seeing her put in so much dedication and hard work into gathering knowledge about psychology, counselling and psychotherapy makes me so happy as a friend and a peer, who is super excited to see her grow. During training sessions, her questions and inquisitive mind made me think about so many things being taught to us and how we should be asking questions about things we do not understand and be open to new knowledge without the fear of what others will think. Doing simulations in the 1st semester where we barely knew anything but still managed with what we had showed me how talented she is. She would amaze me with her listening skills and her ability to empathize with those around. Her ability to understand and console the ones around her was always felt and I feel that now, those abilities have just grown the way she has. She has evolved multifold as a professional. Her therapeutic assessment is visible where she cares about the client, thinks rationally and looks at a plan which would not only benefit the client but also be comfortable for them. Her knowledge, thinking pattern and insight into aspects of cases or clients which has been missed by all other trainee counsellors including me has always amazed me, as to how she was able to catch this aspect of the client and how she was able to think from another perspective. From having case discussions to seeing her give feedback on other cases shows the knowledge which she has acquired. Her insight has been a useful tool and helped me with my clients as well. I hope she keeps on growing and becoming a better version of herself with every passing day. I am very proud to call her my peer and friend as well as someone I had the privilege of starting this journey with and seeing all her growth.

Jasprit Kaur Kalra, Counseling Psychologist

While so many might know Shaurya as a good therapist, an aspiring author, amazing content creator, a professional counselor, a friend or as a phenomenal human, I still remember a girl bold enough to be the loudest and the most rational student in the class. As a colleague and a fellow counselor, I have learnt so much from Shaurya and through her content. When she started her professional account, I was jealous and I am human enough to accept that. But I also knew that she is putting in real effort for what she is doing, which I don't want to right now. It helped me make peace with it. Over time, her Instagram posts have helped me so much and I like to believe that I contribute when she asks questions on her stories and I learn when she answers the questions her followers ask. As a fellow counselor, I know that in my professional practise, I would refer people to her when I think they need someone with more expertise.
