Children First ExpertShivani Jain
M.A
4 years of experience
Shivani Jain is a Counselling Psychologist whose practice is grounded in a strength-based lens, playfulness, and an abundance of curiosity. Their work in mental health has spanned diverse roles, including therapeutic interventions, early intervention, and psychological assessment. Across these contexts, a central belief remains that people of all ages are the experts of their own lives.
They believe in meeting people where they are, while also making room for where they would like to go. The therapeutic relationship becomes a space to explore, make sense of experiences, and create pathways that feel meaningful and authentic to people.
They recognise that people do not exist in isolation and that the ecosystems they inhabit families, communities, institutions, and broader social structures shape their experiences in significant ways. Caring for people, therefore, also means paying attention to the systems around them and working towards creating spaces that are more supportive, accessible, and informed.
Shivani is deeply committed to mental health advocacy and social justice, and to approaches that are informed by both evidence and lived experiences. Shivani believes that change is an inherent and necessary process within systems, and invites people and communities to continually question existing values, reflect on their impact, and make space for more inclusive ones with empathy, curiosity, and sensitivity.
