Mandhrie hails from a tiny island situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean and finds joy in straddling two worlds. One of these realms involves immersing herself in books, where she dedicates a substantial amount of time exploring various genres, from mystery to delving into the intricacies of human behavior. Mandhrie considers her time spent with books and daily fitness routines to be therapeutic. Since a young age, she has harbored a special interest in psychology, particularly the timeless question of 'why people act the way they do.' Drawing from a background in clinical psychology, Mandhrie incorporates direct influences from EFT, CBT, solution-focused therapy, and talk therapy into her practice. These therapeutic approaches are tailored to each client's needs during therapy sessions.
