Dr Divya Parashar. Divya is a psychotherapist and certified life coach with over 20 years experience, 13 of which were spent working closely with patients who suffered life changing spinal injuries. As a consultant to The Ganga Foundation, a not for profit organisation in India, she continues to support people who are rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of a spinal injury. The Founder of The Ganga Foundation, Vaidyanathan (Vaidy) Singararaman, whom she mentions a few times during our conversation, sadly lost his life to Covid earlier this year. His team continue to work hard towards turning his bold vision, a fairer world for people with disabilities, into reality.
In her current independent psychotherapy practice, Divya specialises in areas relating to depression, anxiety, stress disorders and couples therapy. Divya is also a keen long distance runner and recently completed a solo ultramarathon in the mountainous terrain of Ladakh in India. She was inspired to make some big changes in her life following the untimely death of her beloved mother Vatsala in December 2018. Although she continues to grieve her loss, she also eloquently describes her mother’s lasting legacy and the fresh perspective with which she now views her own life.
