I am Suruchi Kothari, a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, supporting them through a wide range of emotional, psychological, behavioral, and cognitive concerns.
My clinical practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches, ethical care, and confidentiality. I strive to create a safe, neutral, and non-judgmental space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their concerns and working collaboratively towards improved mental well-being.
In addition to psychotherapy and counseling, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments and diagnostic evaluations, which play a crucial role in understanding an individual’s emotional, cognitive, and behavioural functioning and in guiding appropriate therapeutic interventions.
Psychological Assessments & Testing
Psychological assessments are an important part of comprehensive mental health care. These assessments involve the systematic administration, scoring, and interpretation of standardised tools to aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring progress.
Personality Assessments
Personality assessments involve the evaluation of personality traits, emotional patterns, and behavioural styles. These assessments help refine clinical diagnoses and provide deeper insight into an individual’s functioning, which assists in planning and guiding further therapy sessions.
IQ Testing
Intelligence refers to the ability to learn, reason, and apply knowledge. The clinic conducts IQ assessments using the latest editions of internationally standardised intelligence tests for both children and adults. These assessments help in understanding cognitive abilities and identifying strengths and areas requiring support.
Learning Disability (LD) & ADHD Testing
LD and ADHD assessments are designed to evaluate a child’s academic and cognitive functioning. These assessments examine skills such as reading, writing, comprehension, spelling, and arithmetic. The results help determine a child’s level of functioning in specific areas and identify underlying difficulties that may be affecting academic performance and behaviour.
Screening Tests
Screening tests are used for the early identification of psychological or emotional concerns. They may also be administered as part of a routine clinical evaluation and can be useful in monitoring progress over the course of treatment.
Cognitive Assessments
Cognitive assessments focus on basic cognitive functions such as memory, attention, concentration, orientation, and executive functioning. These abilities are often affected in individuals experiencing chronic mental health conditions, and assessment helps in understanding the nature and extent of cognitive difficulties.
Therapeutic Philosophy
My approach to care is collaborative and client-centred. I believe that effective psychological support involves understanding the individual as a whole and tailoring interventions to their unique needs. Whether through psychotherapy, marital counselling, or structured psychological assessments, my goal is to support individuals in gaining clarity, building resilience, and moving towards meaningful change.
Commitment to Ethical Care
I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical practice, confidentiality, and professionalism. Every assessment and therapeutic intervention is conducted with sensitivity, accuracy, and respect for the individual’s personal experience.
