I am Dr. Seena James (PhD), a Psychologist and Counsellor based in Chennai, India, with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families in mental health, emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and life transitions. I am also a Certified Yoga Wellness Instructor and Trainer, integrating mind–body practices into practical, research-informed guidance.

I hold a PhD in Psychology from Lovely Professional University (LPU), along with a Gold Medal in B.Sc. Psychology and a Silver Medal in M.Sc. Counselling & Psychotherapy. My work combines evidence-based approaches, including Positive Psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion practices, and yoga-based wellness techniques, tailored to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life changes, while building resilience, confidence, and emotional clarity.

I am the Founder of S J Resonate Counselling and Emotional Wellness, and currently a Consultant Psychologist at Srushti Fertility Centre & Women’s Hospital, where I support emotional wellbeing, reproductive health guidance, and personal development for women, couples, and families. I have also worked in educational and corporate settings, offering guidance on goal-setting, leadership skills, emotional intelligence, and career transitions.

I believe that personal growth and wellbeing flourish in a space of understanding, trust, and compassion, and my approach focuses on helping individuals find clarity, strengthen coping skills, and lead more fulfilling lives.
