ABOUT ME

Hello and Welcome!

Hi, I’m Husaina Parvin. I am a psychotherapist and mental health advocate with an interest in working with people navigating emotional distress, trauma, identity concerns, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in empathy, sensitivity, and deep listening, especially for those who may have felt misunderstood, dismissed, or silenced in the past. I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and experiences at their own pace.

​

I have worked in diverse settings including schools, hospitals, and private practice in Mumbai, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. I currently support adults and adolescents dealing with a range of concerns including:

• Anxiety and stress

• Depression, grief and loss

• Relational and family issues

• Neurodivergence 

• Trauma 

• Identity and self esteem challenges

​

My therapeutic approach draws from Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and DBT. I work from a biopsychosocial and trauma-informed perspective, integrating lived experience and context into the therapeutic process.

Some of the populations I especially enjoy working with include:

• Women and girls exploring autonomy, boundaries, and self-trust

• People with repeated adverse childhood experiences 

• People facing systemic oppression on the basis of caste, class, faith and sexuality.

• Survivors of coercive control, intimate partner violence, or forced marriage

• Young people navigating cross-cultural or identity-based challenges

• Late-identified neurodivergent adults seeking clarity and support

I also offer faith-sensitive and spiritually integrated therapy for clients who prefer to include those aspects in their healing journey.

I am currently based in Kochi, Kerala, and offer online sessions to Indian clients both within India and internationally.

When I’m not in session, I enjoy photography, writing, and spending quiet time in nature.
