In every heart a story lies,
I seek to heal, to empathize.
With words of warmth and mind so keen,
I bridge the gap, unseen, serene.
A psychologist with passion deep,
In helping others, my vows I keep.
Join me here, where thoughts entwine,
Together we'll find the light divine.
Welcome to Eudaimonia Nexus! I'm Shikha, a dedicated psychologist, software engineer, avid yoga enthusiast, and passionate advocate for mental health and women's rights. For me, these aren't just areas of expertise—they're my lifelong passions. With a heart brimming with compassion and a mind eager for knowledge, I am committed to making a positive impact in these crucial areas of life.
Eudaimonia Nexus is a space where we explore the profound concept of eudaimonia, rooted in ancient Greek philosophy. Eudaimonia, often translated as "human flourishing" or "well-being," embodies the pursuit of a life filled with meaning, fulfillment, and genuine happiness. Through this blog, I aim to blend insights from psychology, the transformative practices of yoga, and the empowerment found in personal growth.
As a writer and speaker, I share my experiences, insights, and practical tips to inspire and uplift those on their own journeys toward eudaimonia. Whether through counseling sessions, leading yoga classes, or advocating for important causes, my goal remains the same: to foster positivity, empower others, and promote holistic well-being.
Join me on this journey at Eudaimonia Nexus, where we explore the nexus of wisdom and wellness, striving together to achieve a life of balance, purpose, and authentic happiness.
About Me.
Welcome to my corner of the world, where healing, growth, and empowerment take center stage. I am Shikha Kaushik, a certified clinical hypnotherapist, a certified yoga teacher, and a passionate advocate for mental health and women's rights. My journey in the field of psychology is fueled by a profound desire to help individuals navigate their unique life challenges and discover their true potential.
With a Master’s degree in Clinal Counselling Psychology and with various Diplomas, I have developed a robust foundation in psychological theory and practice. My educational background has prepared me to specialize in a diverse array of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship issues. Each of these areas represents not just a clinical concern, but a unique opportunity for personal transformation and resilience.
A Global Perspective on Mental Health
Throughout my career, I have been privileged to work with a diverse clientele from around the globe. This includes war veterans, cancer survivors, and individuals facing a spectrum of life challenges. These experiences have granted me a unique perspective on the intricacies of human emotion and behavior, allowing me to approach therapy with cultural sensitivity and awareness.
My volunteer work during the Ukraine war and in Syria has been particularly transformative. It has deepened my understanding of trauma and resilience and has equipped me with the tools necessary to support individuals in navigating their mental health journeys with compassion and empathy. This work has underscored the importance of a holistic approach to mental health, one that integrates both psychological and contextual factors.
Advocacy and Community Engagement
As a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and women's rights, I actively engage with various international organizations dedicated to these causes. My commitment extends beyond therapy; I strive to create meaningful change in communities by raising awareness about mental health issues and advocating for equitable access to resources and support.
I have been honored to serve as a guest speaker at numerous public events, where I share insights on mental health, resilience, and personal empowerment. My goal is to inspire individuals to embrace their mental health journeys and foster open conversations that break the stigma surrounding mental health.

Areas of Specialization
In my practice, I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to the unique needs of each individual:
Clinical Hypnotherapy
As a certified clinical hypnotherapist, I harness the power of hypnosis to facilitate profound self-exploration and healing. This technique allows clients to access their subconscious minds, addressing issues such as anxiety, trauma, and self-limiting beliefs. Hypnotherapy promotes lasting change and personal growth by uncovering the root causes of emotional distress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
As a proponent of CBT, I work with clients to challenge and modify negative thought patterns, leading to positive behavior changes and improved emotional well-being.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
I integrate NLP techniques to facilitate personal transformation by reshaping thought processes, enhancing communication skills, and breaking negative patterns.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
REBT focuses on understanding the emotions that drive behavior. I help clients identify and replace dysfunctional thinking patterns with healthier alternatives, enabling rapid and lasting change. Through Rational Self-Analysis, clients learn to apply these techniques to overcome emotional challenges, including depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
Robert Carkhuff Counselling Model
Grounded in humanistic psychotherapy, this model emphasizes empathetic listening and client-centered care. I guide individuals in gaining self-awareness and insight, empowering them to navigate their challenges with confidence and clarity.
Transactional Analysis
A cutting-edge approach for self-awareness and relationship management, I utilize strategies to enhance communication, defuse heated situations, and promote negotiated outcomes. This methodology helps clients understand their past experiences and current behaviors, guiding them towards meaningful change.
