Theertha Rajeev

I am process-oriented and relational in how I work. I adopt a systemic and developmental lens, along with a parts based (IFS) language. I prefer to primarily work with this lens and stay responsive to what a client needs, drawing techniques from Gestalt, CBT, DBT, and ACT, depending on what a concern calls for, rather than sticking to one manualised approach. I try to integrate art and creativity where it makes sense too — not just drawing, but different creative forms, imagery, metaphor, analogy — both to help someone understand what they're experiencing and to help ground them when things feel like too much. I am starting a psychoanalytic fellowship this week to back the process-oriented approach with formalised training.
