I’m Shanthi Kasturi, a counselling psychologist.
Let me introduce myself…
I’m a part-time sky gazer and a full-time mental health advocate.
Maintaining mental health is not as easy as popping a pill okay !
It does take an effort to restructure your distorted thoughts, patterns and beliefs in life.
No worries, I’m here to help you in that journey of resolving and let’s work as a team in unlearning those patterns and in re-learning various new aspects in life.
Therapy is often seen as an expensive expenditure, but shall we compromise on that caramel popcorn for 4 more times and focus on our well-being ?
I’m sure our finance minister would be disappointed, but she may also focus on allocating a little more budget for mental health division next year for us ? May be !
Sorry, if I’m asking for too much, but I can assure you that I can help you out for your own holistic well-being. I’m not here to preach about my career, qualifications, certifications, workshops, webinars or my research work here. (covered all headings right !)

I am Shanthi Kasturi, a practicing counselling psychologist with almost two years of experience in implementing comprehensive treatment plans that address a wide range of mental health concerns. My approach to therapy is integrative and eclectic, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to cater to the unique needs of each individual. By adopting a holistic perspective, I ensure that no aspect of mental well-being is overlooked, supporting clients as they navigate their challenges and work towards optimal mental health. I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and effective therapeutic environment by combining evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of each client's personal journey.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Child Psychology, along with a fully accredited certification in professional psychotherapy. I am committed to continuous learning, regularly attending workshops and cohorts to stay updated on evidence-based therapeutic interventions. My involvement with mental health NGOs such as Parindey and Unwind has provided me with invaluable exposure and experience, for which I am deeply grateful. Driven by curiosity, research became an integral part of my professional journey over time, and I aspire to grow further as a researcher and share my publications with the community in the future.
The Inner Cosmos as the name says would truly stand for the betterment and reflection of one’s self and we wish to be a part of your journey and let’s make everyday a little more brighter and hopeful.
The Inner Cosmos wishes to venture into offering internships, provide trainings, workshops, guest lectures, build a community and help young professionals be informed and get trained into industry professionals in this need of the hour fraternity.
