Ms Oviya Ilangovan

Counseling Psychologist

Verified

“I am a detail oriented and empathetic counselling psychologist. I help people understand their feelings, develop coping skills, and improve their mental health. I create a safe and supportive space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts.”

About Me

I am a Counseling Psychologist based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. I treat anxiety, relationship problems, mood disorders, stress and burnout, and life transitions. I use art therapy, psychoanalysis and psychoeducation to help you build coping skills and clear goals.

Approach

I guide sessions at a careful, curious pace where we track feelings, use artful expression and gentle reflection to make hidden patterns visible. I work with adults in Chennai and online, offering sessions in English, Tamil or Hindi/Urdu to fit what feels most accessible. We balance focused exploration with small, practical experiments between meetings so insights become manageable changes rather than abstract ideas. People navigating anxiety, relationship strain or life transitions often find this steady, hands-on rhythm helpful.
