Clinical Leadership & Team

Archana Bibhor Dahal is the Founder and Lead Psychotherapist of Nepal Hypnosis Clinic and Training Center, established in Kathmandu in 2012. With nearly two decades of professional experience in psychotherapy, counselling, mental health education, and practitioner training, she has developed a practice grounded in individualized, eclectic, and trauma-informed care.

Her clinical work draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Gestalt psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, psychosocial counselling, cognitive behavioural approaches, and trauma-informed interventions. Rather than applying a single method to every client, she emphasizes understanding each person's experiences, relationships, strengths, circumstances, and therapeutic goals before determining an appropriate course of intervention.

Archana has also worked extensively in professional education and mental health training. From 2017 to 2022, she facilitated postgraduate Gestalt psychotherapy training through the Gestalt Institute of Nepal. Through Nepal Hypnosis, she has delivered more than 500 hours of training in counselling skills, hypnotherapy, self-care, and related areas for psychology students and practitioners.

Her professional experience includes crisis intervention and disaster mental health. Following the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, she contributed to mental health response activities and provided Psychological First Aid (PFA) to affected communities and institutions. Her broader work has included psychosocial support, staff wellbeing, trauma-informed practice, and mental health programmes for organizations.

Archana is currently pursuing a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology at United States International University–Africa (USIU-Africa). She has completed her doctoral coursework and is undertaking her doctoral internship at the Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Maharajgunj, alongside her dissertation. She holds Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Psychology from Tribhuvan University, Nepal.

Dr. Sharaddha Tripathi brings advanced doctoral training in clinical psychology from USIU-Africa. Based in Dubai, UAE, she specializes in providing evidence-informed, culturally sensitive online psychotherapy to individuals and couples navigating relationship dynamics, life transitions, and emotional wellbeing across international jurisdictions.

Her therapeutic work emphasizes person-centered counselling, psychosocial support, and mindfulness-informed strategies within a warm, non-judgmental space that supports personal growth and resilience.
