Hello there!
I am Nethra, here we meet through a screen. The below is a description of who I am, all that can be expressed through written word. On the Internet and for all purposes of this website, I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist. My practise is remote, while I am rooted in Bengaluru, India.
I have been practising for close to four years now (at the time of writing this, in 2025). My focus of work is individual psychotherapy sessions for adults.
Training
I hold a Masters degree majoring in Clinical Psychology. My training outside of formal academia has been through personal psychotherapy, individual and group supervision spaces centring psychoanalytic thought.
My psychotherapist, whom I choose not to name, with whom I have spent many hours on a couch with, has allowed me to experience the fullness of life dreamt in a clinic. My experiences in personal therapy have taught me of myself, I doubt there is a relationship more complex, than one’s own relationship with themselves and the world around them. It is through this couch that the patient in myself could be birthed.
My supervisors of a few years now are Dr. Rachana Johri and Dr. Neetu Sarin. Both of whom have deeply touched and shaped me as a person and a therapist. It is through these screens that the therapist in myself continues to be grow.
Future directions for my training involve formal psychoanalytic training and engaging intensive personal analysis.
Areas of Work
I believe we can only attempt to imagine how the life of a patient and therapist unfolds in sessions over the years. I work with adults, across ages, cultures and backgrounds. I speak Telugu, and understand Tamizh, Kannada and Hindi. My areas of interest include the workings of intimacy, abuse, love and loss in relationships.
