3 years of experience
Dr. Sourabh is a Bengaluru-based psychiatrist trained at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru, where he completed his MD in Psychiatry, followed by a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychiatry and further specialised training in Neuro-modulation. He works with adults and older adults — including neurodivergent individuals — across a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, stress-related difficulties, addiction, psychosexual difficulties, and emotional challenges associated with life transitions and relationships. His approach draws on both the neuroscience of mental illness and the relational dimensions of care, combining biological and psychotherapeutic perspectives in a way that is tailored to the individual.
His training included extensive supervised psychotherapy with a focus on psychodynamic approaches, earning him the Best Psychotherapy Award during residency. He has also trained in Motivational Interviewing directly under William R. Miller. He has worked extensively with individuals living with Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, dementia, traumatic brain injury, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders — with a focus on the behavioural, emotional, cognitive, and psychiatric dimensions of these conditions.

FAQs
Why did you choose to become a psychiatrist?
Psychiatry initially appealed because of an interest in neurobiology and behavioural science, and a curiosity about how the brain shapes thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Over time, it became clear that while understanding the science is important, understanding the person is equally so. Witnessing resilience, relationships, and the ability to adapt through difficult times continues to make the field deeply meaningful.
