Hello, I hope your day is full of sunshine and happy thoughts today. I am Himval, your partner in self-growth and a mental health practitioner who has dedicated her life to healing, mindfulness, and spreading joy in the world. By profession, I am a certified life coach, with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

My journey began back in 2008 when I graduated in Psychology and decided to pursue a life full of meaning and purpose. I soon carried on with an MPhil and PhD in Clinical Psychology. And thus, over the last 11 years, I have used my knowledge, skills, and expertise to heal hundreds of souls and pivot them towards a better life.<\/strong><\/p>

Alongside my university education, I have trained in various disciplines of psychotherapy. These include cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), rational emotive therapy (REBT), and short-term psychodynamic therapy. Before I decided to take the rest of the journey on my own, I was an integral part of several health centres, hospitals, and organisations, where I contributed to over five hundred cases of therapy, ranging from short-term talk therapy to clinical Psychotherapy.<\/strong><\/p>

Mind & Matter-\u00a0 The Journey<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>

Back in 2016, I decided to use expand my horizons and help more people with my learnings and experience. And that is how I founded the seed for Mind & Matter, a concept that brings together the principles of psychotherapy and life coaching to help you transform your journey into a great one.<\/strong><\/p>

The genesis of this concept is in Buddhist philosophy which preaches that life is a combination of mind and matter. The mind is our psychological and spiritual self, while matter is our physical self. Thus making life a co-existence of mind and matter. Borrowing this wisdom, I help you understand the effects of emotions, perceptions, and other psychological functions on your body. And in the same way, the effects of bodily functions on your psychological health.<\/strong><\/p>

Combining the two, I work on finding the perfect solution for your obstacles and leading you towards a perspective that is much more positive, constructive, and life-flourishing. So, put together, Mind & Matter is a mental health service founded by me, Dr Himval Pandya, to assist you with better mental health and harmonious life, using the tools of counselling, psychotherapy and life coaching. The areas I work upon include:<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
