Chhavi Kohli, Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
I was drawn to the profession of counselling and psychotherapy after experiencing the benefits of it firsthand as a young athlete. It is hard to pinpoint the exact moment. However, I feel very content that I get to support people in their life journeys.
I offer my support to adults and children from all walks of life regardless of gender, age, background etc.
Below are some FAQs about me and if you wish to know more, please do send an email. I would be pleased to hear from you.
