Gunjan Tewari

In my career spanning more than 25 years, I have worked as a psychotherapist, clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst and psychometrician. In this capacity, I have dealt with a range of cases of Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Conversion Disorders and so on. My approach in the clinical setting has been eclectic, as I have used Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Client Centred Therapy and Behaviour Therapy. I have also been working as the only School Counsellor for 15 years, for a leading school of India. Here I work with children from KG- Class XII on behavioural, academic and career related issues. The most fulfilling part of my job is my work in Positive Psychology, which includes programmes on Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning, Creating Happiness, Self-Actualisation, Building Peace and Empathy, Resilience and many more related topics. I am also trained in play therapy, and use the same with younger children. While dealing with children, I have consistently provided parent and family counselling as they are integral components of the process. I have conducted workshops and webinars for parents and written monthly articles on parenting. I have taught undergraduate courses, trained counsellors, teachers and special educators, supervised dissertations, designed curriculums, conducted examinations and held numerous workshops. As a part-time lecturer, I mentored many students - who ranged from fresh undergraduates to retired teachers who were venturing into the field of counselling.
