Sheela Grace
Developmental Psychotherapist
Sheela Grace is a warm and attuned counsellor who works with children and young adults through a systemic, trauma-informed lens. With over a decade of experience across diverse school and community settings, she supports young people not only as individuals but also within the family, cultural, and academic systems shaping their emotional lives.
Sheela holds a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from Women’s Christian College, Chennai, and is a professionally trained school counsellor and Certified NLP Practitioner. Her work integrates Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Expressive Arts approaches, while remaining responsive to each young person’s context and evolving needs.
She offers bilingual therapy in Tamil and English, bringing cultural sensitivity and lived understanding of South Indian family structures, school environments, and intergenerational dynamics to her work. She supports adolescents and young adults in navigating emotional regulation, academic and social stress, identity exploration, and life transitions, alongside offering career guidance for high school students with attention to family expectations and personal values.
Sheela facilitates both individual and group sessions on stress management and emotional wellbeing, grounded in her belief that young people deserve connection, reflection, and support as they grow. She holds sessions in person in Chennai and online, allowing accessibility across locations. Outside the therapy room, she finds balance in nature; drawn to greenery, quiet rhythms, and the gentle unfolding that mirrors her therapeutic style.
