Director & Head for Centre for Psycho-Oncology India and UAE
Since the earliest days of my medical career, I have been deeply passionate about cancer care. This passion has now led me to pursue a PhD in psycho-oncology. My fascination with health psychology grew as I explored the profound impact of cancer on patients' lives. As a doctor, I have had the privilege of closely witnessing the cancer journey, which inspired me to lay the seeds for a psycho-oncology center.
With extensive experience as a homeopathic doctor, psycho-oncologist, and PhD research scholar, I have dedicated my career to advancing the field of psycho-oncology and promoting mental well-being. My journey has led me to serve as the Director and Center Head in psycho-oncology, where I specialize in the seamless integration of spiritual, emotional, and psychological care for cancer patients. My compassionate approach ensures not only the well-being of patients but also offers vital support to caregivers and stakeholders, fostering a truly holistic healing environment.
My research has made significant contributions to the field, including the widely recognized publications "Post-Traumatic Growth, Spiritual and Emotional Coping as Correlates of Mental Well-being in Cancer Patients" and "Rupture to Reunion: A Study of Cancer Survivors' Evolving Relationship with the Divine," which earned international acclaim. Beyond clinical practice, I am deeply passionate about education and mentorship, actively leading internship programs for aspiring psychologists and nurturing the next generation of professionals in holistic mental health care.
