WHY I USE KINTSUGI FOR MENTAL HEALTH?

I use the metaphor Kintsugi as it translates to “Golden joinery”. This is the ancient Japanese art of repairing fragments of a broken pottery using gold, silver or platinum to fill the cracks and rejoin the broken pieces. The end result is a complex abstract which is beautiful with a story to tell!

The philosophy behind using this metaphor is to embrace oneself with all the imperfections, instead of trying our best to hide it.

Allow breakage and the process of repair.

Hello!

 

I am Gauthami Veerender. I am an Indian and I am currently wandering around the globe. I am originally from Hyderabad, however, I have completed my education from Bahrain and Bangalore, India. I am a native Telugu speaker, I speak English on a professional proficiency level, Hindi and French on an Intermediate level.

 

I earned my bachelor's degree in applied biological sciences majoring in Genetics, Biotechnology and Biochemistry. Due to my keen further interest in other areas of science, I completed my master's degree in Counseling Psychology specialising in rehabilitation counseling, educational counseling and positive psychology .

 

I am genuinely passionate about providing therapy to individuals of all age groups who are dealing with issues related to personal, career, family and work related mental health well-being which is getting in the way of life.

So far, I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds to address their developmental needs, anxiety, depression, obsessions, compulsions, general stress related issues, insomnia, child-focused parental nurturing and various other issues of their lives while empathically understanding and facilitating the therapeutic process and being culturally sensitive. I have also conducted life skills workshops in various NGOs located in India, France and Belgium on topics such as sexual abuse, bullying, disability, stress management and anger management to name a few.
 

My goal is to make therapy affordable and accessible to everyone. I believe in assisting individuals to understand the true motives behind their actions and give them deeper insights to be able to regain a sense of control and discover their strengths and use that to grow as a person and have a positive outlook towards life. I use a variety of approaches (such as Cognitive Behavioural techniques, Psychodynamic  and developmental theories) that are tailored to the specific need of each individual.

 

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

 

Until then, take care of yourself.
