Miss Shifa Meherally

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“I specialise in working with individuals on their journey of self-reflection and improving their self-esteem and confidence, forming fulfilling relationships with themselves and others with a positive approach.”

About Me

I help individuals navigate their personal journey, focusing on self-reflection and building inner strength. We explore how to foster a positive relationship with yourself, which naturally extends to others. Our work involves practical steps to enhance your confidence and cultivate genuine connections. This positive approach is ideal for anyone ready to understand themselves and build more meaningful connections.

Approach

When people want to deepen self-understanding and grow confidence, sessions move at a steady, practical pace that balances reflection with action. In my Pune practice and through online work in English or Hindi/Urdu, we create a calm space where you can try new ways of relating to yourself and others, and I offer clear, gentle feedback between meetings. Sessions often blend short, focused experiments with reflective conversations so insights turn into everyday changes. This way of working suits those ready to make small, sustainable shifts in how they feel and connect.
