Bidisha has been working as a mental health counsellor since August 2022 after completing her PG Diploma in Counselling Skills from Tata Institute of Social Studies, Mumbai. Mental health was something that she was drawn to from her college days, but had ended up studying journalism instead (she loves writing) at the time and then found herself in her twenties working at a variety of jobs from Mumbai, to Ladakh and even Japan, always seeking new experiences.

She has furthered her learning and skills both through practice and through education. Although her counselling style is eclectic, her practice is largely influenced by narrative therapy’s frameworks and techniques in which she completed a diploma with Narrative Practices India in 2023. She also completed a certificate course in Art Therapy from the Indian Institute of Psychological research but working online with adults, she hasn’t been able to explore it in sessions as much as she would wish. In fact, one of her favourite things about this profession is how much continued scope there is for learning and using new approaches and techniques.
Bidisha currently lives in Goa with her husband and their three cats. She loves animals and nature and in her free time she likes swimming, hiking or simply losing herself in a good book.
