An experienced and certified sensitivity group facilitator, Aditee has been helping people engage meaningfully with life, for over a decade.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, Aditee appreciates the uniqueness of each individual in the group—which helps to facilitate personal development. 

Having obtained her Psychology (Honours) degree, Aditee is currently completing her Masters in Counselling. She helps individuals deal with stress and anxiety, as well as issues about self-esteem, depression, identity and personal boundaries. Her areas of specialisation are: Conscious living, Women’s issues, Gender, Attachment (parent-child bonding), Substance abuse (drugs and alcohol), Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). 

Her passion for conscious existence—while remaining mindful of the ‘unconscious’—has led her to work towards the Individual Membership of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP). This means, Aditee works in ‘depth-psychology’—remaining mindful of the patterns that surface, the complexes that impede potential and affect relationships, and the influence of individual history on day-to-day life.

Psychotherapy is a process when you work with a specially qualified and trained person to gain a better understanding of yourself. As your therapist, I’ll work with you to help you explore your emotions, thoughts and actions—all, in a safe and confidential setting. Over time, therapy will help you be more at peace with who you are—and make life more enriching and fulfilling.

For all of life’s situations

Different people have different reasons for seeking therapy—and it’s a very personal decision. You might see a therapist because you’re experiencing certain emotions (such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem or anger) that just don’t seem to go away. Or, it could be because you’re dealing with a personal crisis: you’ve just lost your job (or a loved one), and are feeling depressed. Other reasons for seeking therapy could be build and maintain meaningful relationships with family, friends or colleagues. Or, perhaps, because you want to grow as a person. Or simply because you want to make life better, but don’t quite know where to begin and what to do.

Exploring. Understanding. Dealing.

The first consultation (or session) is usually about understanding the situations, emotions and questions you’re currently dealing with. We would need a few sessions to arrive at a decision about what’s best for you: general therapy, which will provide the support you need to resolve some of life’s issues; or something more specific - such as coaching - which can help you achieve a desired goal. Whether it’s therapy or coaching you need, it’ll be thoughtfully tailored to your personal values and resources as well as cultural sensitivities. After all, this work is about you, by you, for you!

By appointment only.
$120 (50 mins)
Note: Minimum 2 - 4 sessions to understand what kind of work is being sought and also to mutually arrive at a decision to continue working.

There are many dimensions to your personality—and they are all you! However, you have innate preferences in your thinking and behaviour. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI), one of the world’s most widely used personality indicators, helps you understand these unique preferences and the way you relate to others around you. It offers you true insight and understanding about yourself—and helps you get more out of life, professionally and personally.

Developed by the mother-daughter team of Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs-Myers, MBTI is based on the Personality Types theory of Carl Gustav Jung—which suggests that there are two different ways of gaining energy (Extraversion or Intraversion), collecting and processing information (Sensing or Intuition), arriving at decisions (Thinking or Feeling), and relating to the external world (Judging or Perceiving).

Your preferences on each of these four scales come together to make one of the 16 different MBTI personality types. Whatever your four-letter type, you’ll find it extremely revealing and enlightening.

For example, an “ISFJ” code would indicate that you prefer Introversion, Sensing, Feeling and Judging. MBTI can shed more light on the real you—and help you enrich your career, your relationships, and life itself.

By appointment only.
$120 (50 mins)
Note: Promotional package entails a total investment of $500 (for 5 sessions) inclusive of the MBTI Instrument and Type® Book.

Acknowledge and cherish your uniqueness

Are you highly sensitive? Do you find yourself easily stimulated? Are you innately reflective, and easily affected by experiences? Do you need time and space to fully process every experience?

If you answered yes to these questions, you’re likely a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). You can validate this by taking the self-test here: http://www.jaagran.org/selftest.html

Being highly sensitive is an innate trait found in 15-20% of the population making HSPs a minority and thus sometimes misunderstood by those around them. HSPs are quite aware of subtleties thus being more easily overwhelmed by excessive stimulation.

HSPs can be defined as being mindful individuals with an inclination to process the events in their lives in-depth. Since sensitivity in different cultures is often valued differently some HSPs struggle to come to terms with this part of themselves, leaning towards devalue their trait to fit into the world. This then aggravates their existence making it difficult to adjust to demands expected from a fast and chaotic world.

If you want to understand more about this trait, explore your earlier experiences, and find ways to cope with life’s many stimulations, this workshop is for you.

Look, it’s your unconscious talking!

While it was Freud (Sigmund) who first presented that dreams are the window to your unconscious, it was Jung (Carl Gustav) who believed that they compensated for the conscious perspective that the individual held.

Dreams tap into feelings and thoughts about areas in your life that aren’t otherwise reachable. They often reveal aspects about who you are and your relationships that you are unable to be in touch with during the day. The images in your dreams arise from the unconscious to communicate parts of yourself. When these are actively engaged with, and interpreted subjectively, in the current context, can provide an opportunity to reframe your situation and to complete the picture.

Understanding your dreams can help shed light on the most complex of issues—or throw up fresh ideas that might otherwise be difficult to access in your waking life.

Attending this workshop will provide you with a tool to consistently engage with your unconscious on a daily basis. In Jung’s words: “Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”

“Everyone gets the experience. Some get the lesson.” - T S Eliot

Our day-to-day life is filled with a wide range of experiences. The roller-coaster of our existence sometimes makes us wonder the extent to which we are really in-charge of our own life. Are you conscious of your preferences? Do you know how you engage with the world around you? Are you aware of when you feel energised by the people and situations you find yourself in? Have you considered your decision-making process?

These and other important questions spring from your expectations of yourself and of your relationships. Finding the answers to these questions would involve engaging consciously with your own thoughts, emotions and behaviour. This ‘triangulation’ is the basis of your ‘value system’, which influences both your self-perception as well as the relationships you build—at home, work and play. We often remain unaware of what motivates us to make the choices we do—personally as well as professionally.

Remember to bring your answers with you.You’ll, hopefully, understand how these answers help you to begin leading a meaningful life

“No two persons ever read the same book” - Edmund Wilson

An insight into oneself is most cherished when it can be shared. Reading, usually an ‘alone’ exercise, can help us understand ourselves when explored with like-minded people. This book club is meant for those who love to learn about themselves, and the world they live in, by reading books on self-development and personal growth.

In this club, classics as well as contemporary books such as The Road Less Travelled, Flow, Emotional Intelligence, Women Who Run With The Wolves and Getting the Love You Want will be discussed and analysed in small group settings.

Book One: The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck

“Life is difficult.” - M Scott Peck

Three simple words that profoundly sum up what we struggle every day to keep at bay. In this highly acclaimed and awarded book: The Road Less Travelled written by Dr.M Scott Peck, a Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist, has immortalised the profoundness of this seemingly pedestrian daily experience. One of the pioneering books to combine the effectiveness of the science of psychology with the search for spiritual meaning, The Road Less Travelled is a powerfully packed book of wisdom that no reflective person would want to miss.

Dr. Peck presents the whole range of internal, interpersonal, community and global issues that impact our day-to-day life in four sections which are:

I: Discipline
II: Love
III. Growth and Religion
IV. Grace

Each section delves deeply into the choices we can make on a moment to moment basis, deciding to love and be loved, that growth is both purposeful and organic and the value of grace, not in the religious sense but in an engaging centered manner. The book challengingly yet insightfully helps create tools necessary to first contemplate and then consider walking on the untrodden path.

Each participant-reader would leisurely read the book between each fortnightly session, where we would meet for a couple of hours to explore individual as well as group resonance on the topics under each section. Individual, small as well as large group exercises would further facilitate the translation of personal learning’s in understanding oneself and our meaningful relationships.
