Kritika Vaswani

Hey I'm Kritika, an empathetic counselling psychologist from Mumbai, India. I'm fascinated by how humans think and behave which has led me to immerse myself in the study of psychology for the past 5 years. I possess a M.

Sc in Mental Health Studies from Kings College, London and have 1+ years of industry experience across clinical and community settings like hospitals, private counselling centres and NGOs. Formerly, I have witnessed and helped clients with mental health disorders like substance abuse, alcohol addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder & other personality disorders. I have also helped children with special needs as well as adult clients with relationship issues and more.

In my free time, I like to immerse myself in reading, creative writing, volunteering, mindfulness, and travel to expose myself to different cultures and people.
