ABOUT ME
A curious and committed mental health professional with over five years of experience providing accessible, trauma-informed care to individuals and groups.
Ms Agarwal believes in building collaborative, non-judgmental relationships with her clients, and stays close to the research so her practice keeps evolving alongside the field. She works across an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities — including CBT, Client-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and narrative and storytelling-based approaches — with a queer-affirmative, trauma-informed lens running through all of her work.
When she's not working, you can find her in a nearby park admiring skylines, or rewatching 'The Office' for the nth time.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Therapy has been a life-changing experience for me. It has opened up windows that I didn't know existed. I have learnt to look at myself from multidimensional lenses and understand my own needs, aspirations and flaws better. With Shubhika, I have learnt to accept myself for who I am and find love in places I never thought I could.

Although I've tried talking to a therapist before, I never felt heard until I spoke to Shubhika. She's a wonderful therapist and has been able to help me with my anxiety and with difficult circumstances. She is critical and rational, yet gentle at the same time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Shubhika really listened and empathised with my story and struggle. She helped in connecting the dots in my story. She provides a safe space for the session. I feel lucky that I met the right therapist in a relatively short time period.
