Sheetal David

I am a Counselling Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Psychology and a strong professional foundation in healthcare education and clinical practice. Prior to transitioning fully into psychological practice, I served as a Nursing Lecturer with extensive hospital-based exposure. This background has given me a deep understanding of the interaction between emotional health, physical wellbeing, and high-performance environments. Over the years, I have worked closely with students, young professionals, couples, and families navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship conflicts, identity struggles, and adjustment challenges. My experience in academic and clinical settings has allowed me to develop strong assessment skills, structured case formulation abilities, and thoughtful intervention planning. I am particularly experienced in working with adolescents and young adults facing academic pressure, career uncertainty, emotional dysregulation, and self-doubt. My background in mentoring and student counselling has strengthened my ability to balance empathy with clarity, helping clients gain insight while building practical coping strategies. My therapeutic work is integrative and tailored. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, attachment-informed frameworks, emotion-focused work, and strength-based models. Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and goal-oriented, while always maintaining a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space. Clients often describe my approach as calm, grounded, and structured. I value ethical practice, professional integrity, and continuous development. My aim is not only symptom relief but deeper emotional awareness, resilience, and meaningful change.
