About Ms. Dhakshana B

Ms. Dhakshana B is a dedicated psychologist with clinical internship experience across hospital psychiatry, counselling, and special education settings. She is committed to promoting mental wellness and building resilience among diverse populations — from children and adolescents to adults and the LGBTQ+ community.

Holding a master’s degree in clinical psychology, she brings hands-on experience addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, and relationship challenges.

Her practice is deeply rooted in cultural sensitivity, inclusivity, and a genuine belief in every individual’s capacity for growth and healing.

Philosophy & Personal Approach

Driven by a deep curiosity about human thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, Ms. Dhakshana B chose psychology to make a lasting difference in people’s lives. She believes that healing is not a linear path — it is a deeply personal journey that deserves patience, empathy, and the right support.

Her approach is warm, non-judgmental, and strength-based — helping clients reconnect with their own inner resources while building practical coping tools for everyday challenges. Drawing from trauma-informed principles and cultural awareness, she creates a safe space where every client feels truly heard and valued.

“Healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself. I am here to hold that space, and walk alongside you — at your own pace.”
— Ms. Dhakshana B, Psychologist
