A: Mr. Tanay Shah is a Counseling Psychologist in private practice in Mumbai. Mr. Tanay Shah work with Individual Adults who wish to work on and explore deep issues and patterns underlying persistent unhappiness, as well as navigate life’s hurdles and transitions that may feel overwhelming. It can be a bit daunting to find a suitable therapist to work with. I’ll try to give you a brief sense of who I am and how I work. About me: Firstly, I consider it a matter of great privilege to be able to do what I do; it means that I can be genuine all day and it is by fully bringing myself to work that I can be most effective. I am a firm believer in the transformative potential of psychotherapy. It is my nature to maintain curiosity, be open to new perspectives, and learn from others’ experiences. Throughout my work, I encourage my clients to introspect and help them articulate what they might have, deep down inside, always known but couldn’t yet face up to. I always value client’s take on any ideas I may have; if they don’t resonate with them, I have no ego investment in imposing them. It can be difficult to part with established views, narratives, and ways of being, even when they are interfering with moving forward in a healthier way. This is the work I can do together with the client to help them create a more fulfilling sense of their lives. I seek to understand what the client is going through and concurrently feel how it may resonate with some part of me; I believe this contributes to my ability to connect and understand. It is also why it is essential that I have insight into my own inner life. Whatever the client’s impetus to seek therapy, I value them as multifaceted beings and am genuinely engaged and respectful. My Approach: I have a range of things in my toolbox. I’m not locked into a style or school of psychology. I use what works. From a theoretical perspective, my approach is both, Psycho-dynamically and Existentially informed. I’ve been highly influenced by the work of Dr. Irvin Yalom on Existential Psychotherapy, and strive to integrate his values in my therapy work. It is my belief that there’s no one solution that suits all and therefore, my approach is highly individualized and varies depending upon who you are and what you want to work on. As a rule, however, my sessions are active and directed. People who have been in talk therapy before typically tell me that working with me is different and that we are breaking new ground rather than rehashing familiar territory. A big part of what I do is to help my clients recognize parts of themselves that lie just below the surface but are running the show. Most of us make it to adulthood with an array of beliefs and behaviors that once served us, but now block us from connecting with ourselves and others in healthy, fulfilling ways. They become so ingrained that we end up using them unconsciously all day long. It’s virtually impossible for us to see and disarm them without the help of a skillful professional. Within the first few sessions most of my clients begin seeing not only their blocks, but the information that lies hidden underneath. The disconnection to this inner information is often what lies at the root of the problem that prompts people to see me. Tapping into it helps them make the shifts they want to make..
