Compassionate Care,
Creative Healing

I'm Dr. Sahitya MG, a Counselling Psychologist and Expressive Arts Facilitator based in Chennai, with over 5 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and groups on their healing journey.

I hold a PhD in Psychology and specialise in integrating traditional evidence-based therapeutic approaches with expressive arts — using art, movement, sound, and imagination as pathways to healing.

I believe therapy should have both science and soul. My practice is built on empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is everything I share in therapy confidential?

Absolutely. All communication is strictly confidential and protected by professional ethics guidelines. Information is never shared without your explicit written consent, except in situations where there's a risk of harm, as required by law.

What is Expressive Arts Therapy?

Expressive Arts Therapy uses creative modalities like art, movement, sound, writing, and imagination as pathways to healing. You don't need to be “artistic” — it's about the process of expression, not the product. It helps access emotions that words alone sometimes can't reach.

How long does each session last?

A standard session lasts 50–60 minutes. Some specialised sessions or assessments may run 60–90 minutes. We'll always discuss the expected duration beforehand.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your concerns and goals. Some issues can be addressed in 6–8 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll discuss a recommended timeline during our initial sessions and adjust as needed.

Are online sessions as effective as in-person?

Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns. It offers the added benefits of convenience, comfort, and accessibility. All online sessions happen via a secure, private video platform.
