ABOUT ME

I'm Sheetal, a psychotherapist, yoga teacher and the person behind Numa.

Sheetal - Psychotherapist
Quote from Sheetal

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and rooted in the understanding that our bodies often speak the stories our words cannot.

I hold a Master's in Psychology (Clinical) from Leiden University in The Netherlands. Having been in the therapy space for over 5 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people as they navigate some of life's toughest moments. Every journey is a reminder of the strength that unfolds when we walk it together.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and rooted in the understanding that our bodies often speak the stories our words cannot. I integrate well-grounded therapeutic frameworks with relational depth, so therapy is something we weave together.

Alongside my clinical training and professional supervision, I bring a deep understanding of somatic and mindfulness-based practices from my experience with yoga. To me, therapy is about understanding your inner world and building the capacity to navigate it.

Our Sessions

Individual Therapy Sessions

Therapy session

One-on-one sessions are held online through Zoom or Google Meet, usually on a weekly basis.

Each session lasts 50 minutes and provides space for exploration, reflection, and emotional integration. Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time or returning to it, we'll create a rhythm that supports your needs and comfort.

My Approach

My approach is built on three guiding principles:

Relational

Relational

We explore the patterns that emerge in our conversations, using the therapeutic relationship itself as a mirror for deeper awareness and healing.

Trauma-Informed

Trauma-Informed

Your comfort and safety come first. We move gently, with pacing and consent that feel right for you.

Collaborative

Collaborative

You bring your story; I bring the framework and reflections. Together, we create a space where growth can unfold naturally.
