16 years of experience
I am Jonaki, a narrative therapist based in New Delhi with over sixteen years of experience in mental healthcare. Along with my background in psychology I hold a Master's in Narrative Therapy and Community Work and am also trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, teachers, and social workers. I also teach narrative therapy through the one year diploma course run by Children First in collaboration with Dulwich Centre. I have particular expertise in first sessions, in understanding the problem and its scope, and identifying the most helpful and appropriate way forward. I believe that therapy is political and am committed to questioning the power structures and dominant stories that shape young people's lives. I have recently published in the International Journal of Narrative Therapy and Community Work.
