What happens in the consult

1

You speak. I listen.

No assessment forms, no pathologising vocabulary. We start with what is actually on your mind.

2

We map the terrain.

We locate where the difficulty sits and what is keeping it in place. Then we picture what change would actually feel like.

3

We choose the path.

Individual Psychotherapy, Dev's Vedic Therapy, or a blend. The choice is informed and shared, never imposed.

The approach

What is Dev's Vedic Therapy?

DVT is a codified therapeutic framework that integrates Vedic Sanātana Dharma with contemporary psychotherapy. It works at the level of identity and meaning, not only symptom management.

Established methods are not replaced — they are integrated within the framework where clinically appropriate. Within DVT, CBT, schema work, behavioural approaches, and pharmacotherapy referral are deployed for the specific presentations they serve best. The Vedic framing adds depth and meaning; it never displaces what clinically works for a given patient.

  • Integrates CBT, schema, and behavioural work for specific presentations
  • Identity-level work where symptom relief alone is insufficient
  • For clients of any worldview, faith or none

Common questions

What is the difference between Individual Psychotherapy and DVT?

Individual Psychotherapy uses Western evidence-based frameworks (CBT, schema therapy, psychodynamic work) applied with cultural sensitivity. DVT is a codified integrative framework that adds the Vedic Sanātana Dharma lens, addressing suffering at the level of identity and meaning, not only thought patterns. Both work. Many clients combine them. The consult is where we decide what fits you.

I want CBT, not anything spiritual. Can I still see you?

Yes. CBT is one of the established methods integrated within DVT. If your presentation is best served by structured cognitive and behavioural work, that is what you will receive. The Vedic framework operates in the background as the practitioner's lens; the active interventions you experience are whatever fits your specific clinical picture. Many clients work entirely within the CBT/behavioural register and never engage the philosophical layer.

How long does therapy usually take?

It depends on what you are working with. Some clients find relief in 4–6 sessions. Others choose longer-term work. Frequency typically begins weekly, tapers to fortnightly, then monthly as stabilisation holds. There is no commitment beyond the next booked session.

Do you prescribe medication?

No. Prescription is the remit of a psychiatrist. If medication appears clinically indicated, I will refer you to a trusted psychiatrist and continue psychological work alongside. Many clients see both, with no conflict.

Is the session confidential?

Yes. Sessions are bound by professional confidentiality. The standard exceptions apply: imminent risk to self or others, and legal disclosure requirements. These are discussed at the start of the consult so you know the boundary clearly.

What is the cancellation policy?

Reschedule up to 24 hours before the session at no cost. Cancellations within 24 hours are charged in full. If something urgent comes up, message Dev and we will work it out. We understand that circumstances sometimes change.
