Ms. Mushfirah Sayed
Master’s in Clinical Psychology, Kristu Jayanti College
Counselling Psychologist
Hello! I'm Mushfirah, a Counseling Psychologist and a Published Author.
My work in psychology has taken me through different clinical environments- G.S. Medical College and KEM Hospital (Mumbai), Masina Hospital (Mumbai), People Tree Hospitals- Maarga (Bangalore) and REACH Psychiatry and Counselling Centre (Bangalore).
Each experience has shaped my understanding of mental health, from psychological assessments and clinical interventions to working with individuals across different age groups.
Today, at Shloka Deviah Trust, much of my work revolves around adolescents and young adults and the experiences that shape their emotional well-being. I draw from evidence-based therapeutic practices, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Behaviour Therapy (SFBT) while adapting and tailoring my approach to the person and the concerns they bring into therapy, as I strongly believe that therapy should be as individual as the person seeking it.

Personal Quote
“There is something meaningful about being able to look at your own story with a little more understanding and a little less judgment. I hope to help you explore these stories, recognise the ones that no longer serve you, and find the courage to write the next chapter on your own terms.”
