Life doesn’t always come with clear answers. paren(t)heses helps you understand the changes, challenges and choices that come with different stages of life—from parenting and relationships to career decisions—with the right guidance and a space to pause, reflect and move forward.
"The relationship between a parent and child should evolve with age, but never lose the warmth, trust and connection they shared from the very beginning. Conscious parenting helps preserve that bond through every chapter of life"
Parenting consultations, career guidance, psychometric profiling, DMIT, workshops and structured programs for parents and students.
I am a Counseling Psychologist, Parenting Coach, Career Strategist, CBT Practitioner and the founder of "paren(t)heses", which is dedicated to guiding parents and individuals through life’s transitions.
My extensive experience includes partnering with more than 20 schools and 5000+ children to lead comprehensive screen addiction awareness and remedy programs for children, parents, and educators.
I am also actively involved with a NGO to identify and address critical mental health issues of children and provide them with career-related clarity.

Parentheses works with parents and students through practical conversations, assessments and structured guidance — with the aim of creating clarity rather than giving one-size-fits-all answers.
Career guidance combines assessment insights with counselling and discussion, so students and parents can understand the reasoning behind a possible direction before making an educational choice.
Workshops are designed to be interactive and practical, giving parents, teens, teachers or school communities ideas they can reflect on and use beyond the session.
