It is only sensible to believe that we live and breathe in the multiplicity that the self weaves for us. In honour of the said multiplicity, I explore with my patients the beauty that the simple art of existing brings in all its artistic asymmetry. Of becoming and belonging!

My Therapeutic Approaches
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Feeling stuck in recurring patterns or puzzled by your emotions?
Psychodynamic therapy can help uncover hidden connections between your past and present experiences. By exploring deep-seated feelings and thoughts, you can gain valuable insights into your behaviour and relationships.
Through psychodynamic therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to understand how past events might be influencing your current life. By working through these underlying issues, you can develop new ways of coping and building stronger connections with others. This therapy empowers you to break free from limiting patterns and create a more fulfilling life.
Existential Therapy
Feeling lost, anxious, or uncertain about life’s purpose?
Existential therapy offers a unique approach to understanding and addressing these challenges.
It focuses on exploring the fundamental questions of human existence:
- What is the meaning of life?
- How do I find my place in the world?
- Am I living authentically?
Through existential therapy, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your values, and your choices. By confronting life’s inevitable challenges, such as death and freedom, you can develop greater resilience and find a sense of purpose. This therapy empowers you to create a meaningful life that is true to yourself.

Simrit Singh answers your questions
- What advice would you give to someone considering therapy for the first time?
Take with you all of yourself, all parts, all dimensions and all corners. And while you carefully pack to unpack in the therapeutic hour, trust the process and have the faith to fall back- your therapist will catch you.
- What is a common misconception about therapy that you’d like to clarify?
There are so many! But if I had to choose one, I’d pick this- as your therapist, I will not be providing an outright solution to your problems. However, we will sit and co-create a detailed strategy for you based on what you think is appropriate. This way, you have greater agency over your life choices and decisions and there is someone to give you a bird’s eye view of anything you might have missed.
- How do you handle humour in therapy sessions?
Very well! Humour is not only a creative expression, but a greater glimpse into our inner worlds. Welcomed with all my heart!
- What do you do to create a safe and supportive space for clients in therapy?
A simple process I like to call the therapeutic frame- its layered and nuanced, tailored and crafted specifically to fit my patients, exactly how they need it. I employ multiple strategies (like affirmations, mirroring, attunement, containment among others) to ensure our therapeutic hour is one that harbours safety and constant support.
- How do you approach building trust with clients who may be hesitant to open up?
I give them time and offer a space that is consistent, safe and approachable. In my experience, these are the basic ingredients of building trust.
- What do you do to ensure your own well-being and avoid burnout?
I follow grounding and breathing exercises to combat burnout. Journaling and meditation also help!
- What is a recent book or resource you’ve found helpful for your clients (or yourself) and why?
This beautiful book by Jerry Pinto, called Em and the Big Hoom which describes in great detail the struggles of a family dealing with the diagnosis of their mother’s bipolar disorder. This is my choice because despite the beautiful portrayal of chaos (which is persuasive in its character precision) it is the mundane everyday living and the lived reality that strikes me every time. It helps me in understanding that there is in fact nothing greater than the psychic reality we hold in ourselves.
- Which quotes do you find yourself often sharing with clients?
“What does not get resolved, gets repeated” (Sigmund Freud- Remembering, Repeating and Working through; 1914).
“It’s a joy to be hidden, a disaster not to be found” (D W Winnicott).
