Nikita Jandu
Psychologist
I am a qualified counsellor with a strong academic background in Psychology (Hons, Masters, B.Ed., Diploma, and pursuing PhD). My experience spans student counselling, career guidance, clinical and mental health counselling, as well as psychometric testing and analysis, with a focus on adapting to diverse learning styles. Our approach blends evidence-based practices with empathy and understanding. We don’t see therapy as “fixing problems,” but as a journey of growth—one where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. Whether you are seeking help for emotional well-being, career clarity, or personal development, we are committed to creating a space where you can truly thrive.
