They say ‘experience is the best teacher’ and this is true in the case of Ashwini who found her calling as a counselor after wading through the many complexities of life. People oriented and self driven, she believes that a strong emotional connection through compassionate listening is the first solid step towards understanding and dealing with difficulties.

A Finance major who instead of being obsessed with numbers became fascinated with the workings of the human mind, Ashwini realised early on that there is no such thing as a ‘calculative risk’ when faced with core issues of human nature. Her ability to stay calm and strong in the face of adversity coupled with an innate desire to connect with and understand people helps in creating a safe and sensitive therapeutic environment conducive to recovery and personal growth.

Prior to Unleash Possibilities, she has conducted emotional wellness workshops at orphanages and volunteered at NGOs where she specialised in psychological and stress related counseling in adults and children. Her compassionate and understanding nature comes to the fore when dealing with children, as she believes that tender minds need that cocoon of warmth and support to blossom and grow freely. When not pondering the mysteries of the mind, Ashwini can be found painting in solitude or displaying her prowess with the veena to an adoring audience of family and friends. She is also an avid traveler with a keen interest in exploring faraway lands and discovering cultures and people different from her own.
