Shrinkhla (she/her) has been working in the field of mental health since 2015, first as a mental health advocate and Caregiver Coach and then as a psychotherapist and cultural psychologist. She is trained in clinical psychology, and cultural studies and certified in queer affirmative counselling, trauma-informed care and somatic work.

Before training as a therapist, she worked as a media professional and arts educator (since 2005). She combines her experience in both fields to work through an intersectional lens grounded in humanistic values, cultural theory and a neurodiversity-affirmative approach.

She runs a caregiver support group and is the Founder and Secretary of the Swayam Foundation.
