Shweta Polastya

I'm a licensed Rehabilitation Psychotherapist with a Master's degree in Psychology, specialising in Psychopathology and Applied Counselling. With over 3years of experience working within military organisations, my work in high-stress military environments has shaped me into a clinician who deeply understands the impact of trauma, loss, transition, interpersonal strain, and performance pressure. This experience enables me to support individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate emotional challenges with clarity, strength, and dignity.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, and trauma-informed therapeutic space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions comfortably.
