how she works
Kirat’s therapeutic approach is integrative and contemplative, combining evidence-based practices with contemplative science and Jungian analysis. She draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to support clients in restoring balance between intellect and intuition. Her work focuses on addressing concerns related to complex trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, grief, self-esteem, eating disorders, and relational dynamics.
Through her studies at The Nalanda Institute and training at The Tibet House and MNDFL Meditation, Kirat merges contemplative practices with psychology to help clients expand their awareness and achieve greater alignment and joy. Her approach supports individuals navigating life transitions, relational dynamics, spirituality, and deeply embedded emotional patterns.
Beyond therapy, Kirat consults with brands to integrate mindfulness practices into modern culture, bridging the gap between mental health and contemplative traditions. Whether in counseling or consultation, Kirat is committed to helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and create lives of greater balance and fulfillment.
