I often like to think of my reason for becoming a therapist as a natural calling. I first stumbled upon psychology as an area of interest when I first read a book on social psychology during my higher secondary education while trying to find my way out of studying science. I found myself being pulled towards the field from that moment onwards. When I first officially studied it as a course what struck a chord with me the most was my specialization and I knew that this is the field I want to be in. Mental health is something I feel strongly about. Understanding the intricacies of something so layered yet beautiful and wanting to know the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind them contributed to it further. I deeply respect psychotherapy as a profession, the way it helps individuals by helping them build skills that last lifelong - and this coupled with my love for psychology propelled my path towards a career as a psychotherapist.
