Layla graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Psychology, and her current involvement lies in nervous system education and modalities that facilitate deep rest and restoration for healing.

Her current involvement blossomed from a personal journey with health, which culminated in an endless succession of physical and mental symptoms. Through her journey, she sees to how holding patterns and trauma can play out in the body, but more so, the body’s intelligence to develop new body-brain pathways for sustainable health and liberation from within. She hopes to help others understand the importance of mind-body education but equally the power of being witnessed on an individual level. At the heart of her work is the belief that healing is two-fold – with the Self & Others.

At her own time, she continues to elevate her awareness on modalities surrounding the body, mind and spirit.

Sandhya is a dedicated social impact professional with over a decade of experience working in people and community development. As a trained counsellor and psychotherapist, she believes everyone should have access to quality mental health services, and opportunities to connect and express themselves – be it through art, play, movement or others.

Having been through her own journey with mental health and chronic illness, Sandhya wants clients to know that they are not alone and to feel empowered to work through their challenges and create the life they want for themselves. We all need a little support sometimes. Life can be messy and overwhelming with so much on our plate. It helps to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective, to have someone hear you out, or to simply have some company along the way. Using a range of therapeutic techniques, Sandhya has journeyed with clients through:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Trauma
• Chronic illness and pain
• Neurodiversity (ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism and others)
• Grief and loss
• Stress and burnout
• Relocation transitions
• Relationship issues
• Emotional regulation
• Professional & personal goals
• Self-discovery

While she is trained in a number of approaches, Sandhya mostly draws on techniques from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy in her sessions. She is also trained in trauma modalities and couples therapy.

Outside of counselling, Sandhya works with several non-profit organisations dedicated to families, children and youth, and differently-abled communities.
