About

Welcome to my website! I'm Piyush, and my pronouns are (he/they), I am a Trauma-Informed Expressive Art Therapist registered with UNESCO-CID France i.e. Expressive Art Therapy-Based counsellor, a Clinical Hypnotherapist certified by the California Institute of Hypnotherapy, and a counselling psychologist. With a master's Degree in Applied Psychology, I specialize in art therapy and have learned Trauma-informed approaches from Dr. Cathy Malchiodi. Additionally, I am an illustrator, actor, and creator. I am truly grateful that you've discovered my page.

Since childhood, I have had an unwavering passion for painting and artistic creation. This passion has continued to shape my journey, leading me to embark on my ART ADVENTURE at 25 years old.

At 28, I delved into theatre & acting, collaborating with a theater group and later working at 'The Akshara National Theater' in New Delhi as an actor and community manager. After a year and a half, I took a hiatus to focus more on visual arts, only to realize that my true calling lies in psychology and expressive arts therapy.

One of my greatest joys is working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a particular focus on LGBTQAI+ individuals, children, and women. I find immense fulfillment in helping children and parents build stronger bonds, explore their unique relationships, understand trans-generational trauma, improve communication, and develop effective coping mechanisms when faced with challenging situations beyond therapy.

Moreover, I am dedicated to supporting busy professionals who struggle to find a healthy work-life balance, guiding them to live their lives to the fullest. In a non-judgmental and collaborative therapeutic environment, I employ Expressive Arts Therapy, Mindfulness, and Progressive Relaxation techniques tailored to their specific needs.

I offer both in-person counseling in Delhi, India, and online sessions via Zoom for clients worldwide. To determine if we are a good fit, feel free to reach out to me via email or phone for a complimentary 15-minute chat, followed by scheduling an introductory session.

Allow me to share a bit about my personal life: I am an ardent dog lover and cherish my canine companions, Chloe and Klaus. Those closest to me are well aware of my fondness for South Indian cuisine and my love for spending time in nature, be it on the beach or in the mountains. As a form of self-expression, I enjoy designing my own fabrics for shirts, scarves, and other accessories. Lastly, it is important to note that I identify as Queer and hold a Queer-affirmative and person centred stance, firmly believing in your right to choose the life you desire.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

Expressive Art Therapist

Pallavi Deswal

Pallavi Deswal, whose pronouns are She/Her, is on the path to becoming a registered Expressive Art Therapist with UNESCO-CID France, under the guidance of her mentor, Piyush Jain. She is currently pursuing a master's degree in Applied Psychology.

The appreciation of expressive forms of communication has always been a driving force in Pallavi's life. Whether it's dancing, singing, acting, or creating art, she finds solace in the harmony these activities bring to her life.

Pallavi's mother, an artist herself, introduced her to the world of art at a young age. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pallavi rekindled her passion for art by creating with friends whenever possible. She also received professional training in various dance forms from institutions like Danceworx and Hashtag. Pallavi had the opportunity to explore her talents in modeling and acting, cementing her belief that she thrives when given the freedom to follow her own path.

As she embarked on her master's degree, Pallavi discovered her true calling in expressive arts therapy. This field has provided her with a platform for self-discovery and a space to be her authentic self without judgment, using the language of visual arts.

Pallavi's mission is to create a safe, empowering, and inclusive environment where individuals can explore their true selves. She offers both offline meetings in Delhi and Noida and online sessions in English and Hindi. Pallavi welcomes all to join her on this remarkable journey.
