Shaswatee Behera

परिचय

Shaswatee (she/they) is a practicing counselling psychologist and expressive arts-based therapist with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals of all ages, as well as parent-child dynamics, through emotional, relational, and somatic concerns. Their practice is rooted in inclusive and holistic values, and they are queer-affirmative and neurodivergence-aware. They work through a non-pathologising and trauma-informed approach, understanding each person within the larger context of their experiences, identity, and the systems that continue to shape them. Shaswatee draws on evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Inner Child Work, and Expressive Arts Therapy, alongside their own lived experience, to tailor care to each individual they work with. They work with a wide range of concerns, including navigating neurodivergence, life transitions, complex family dynamics, and non-heteronormative relationships, in addition to body image, trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, identity, self-confidence, and relationship concerns. Additionally, they have facilitated workshops and group work in expressive arts therapy in spaces like Magnetic Fields, and run spaces like the Bad Art Club to support self-expression and help people reconnect with creativity in a non-intimidating way. If you're looking for a therapeutic space that is affirming, moves at your pace, and is responsive to your specific context and needs, this might be the right fit for you.
