Rishu Saini

Clinical Psychologist

Experience: 5 years

About

I am Rishu Saini, an RCI-licensed Clinical Psychologist with an M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology and five years of supervised clinical experience across tertiary psychiatric care, neurorehabilitation, substance use treatment, and correctional mental health settings. I have worked with over 4,500 clients, with experience in psychological assessment, diagnostic clarification, and evidence-based psychotherapy. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), complemented by DBT-informed interventions, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness-based techniques, and supportive counselling, tailored to each individual’s needs. I am committed to providing ethical, evidence-based, and client-centred care that supports mental well-being and promotes meaningful therapeutic progress. I also strive to raise mental health awareness and reduce the stigma associated with seeking psychological support.
