Priyamvada Shankar

Priyamvada Shankar is a counselling psychologist who works with neurodivergent children and adolescents, and the families around them. She holds a B.Sc in Psychology from Govt Women's College, Trivandrum, and an M.Sc in Counselling Psychology from Madras University.

Her practice is integrative, drawing on CBT, DBT, Transactional Analysis and ACT, and she chooses between them based on who is in the room. Sessions are built around how a young person actually thinks and feels, with the aim of helping them understand their own mind and name what they need. Parents are part of the work.
