Mrs Aruna A C N

Counseling Psychologist

“Counselling Psychologist with more than 13 years of experience in the field of De-addiction and Psychiatric rehabilitation. Experienced in pre and post marital counselling, family counselling, individual counselling, psychotherapy for all psychiatric and psychological disorders.”

About Me

With over 13 years of experience, I support individuals, couples, and families through diverse psychological and emotional difficulties. I offer a space to explore relationship complexities, address addiction, or navigate psychiatric challenges. We'll work together, developing practical coping strategies and fostering resilience. Clients find my extensive background provides a steady, informed approach. This helps them understand their experiences and build a clearer path forward.

Approach

Experience in de-addiction and psychiatric rehabilitation shapes how I guide our work, keeping it focused and goal-oriented while staying attuned to your pace. In Chennai I meet clients in English or Tamil, offering both clinic and online sessions that balance structure with warmth. We use assessment-informed steps, mix skills rehearsal with reflective exploration, set manageable between-session tasks, and regularly review progress together. Those navigating addiction, relationship strain, or complex psychiatric concerns often find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
