From a staff internship at the United Nations in New York at 19 to guiding individuals through healing and transformation today, my journey has always centered on growth, evolution, and empowerment.

I am Shai C (Shalini S. Chuganee) — a Skilled Emotionologist, Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT), and Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), with over 4,000 hours of clinical experience in trauma recovery, relationship therapy, and emotional intelligence.

Currently, I’m pursuing my PhD in Clinical Sexology (Class of 2027), focusing on relational and sexual well-being. Through Shai C Consultancy, I help individuals, couples, and families heal, rebuild, and reconnect — combining evidence-based practice with empathy.

Beyond therapy, I mentor students in Model UN, debate, and academic growth. I’m also the author of Love That Was Meant for Me, a book on self-love, resilience, and emotional healing.
