BioGRAPHY

Half British, Half Indian, born and educated in England, Aruna Shields holds a Distinction from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and a degree from Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London). Her early career in international cinema, marked by lead roles, critical acclaim, and invitations for features in publications such as Vogue, provided firsthand exposure to acute pressure and intense visibility in global environments.

Being named a Google Zeitgeist Fastest Rising Star reinforced her deep understanding of performance under scrutiny, ultimately inspiring her to develop a unique psychological advisory practice.

Grounded in over a decade of private practice, Aruna integrates Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapy, Oxford University’s Mindfulness-Based Cognitive protocols, and Consciousness-Based Psychology. She combines clinical precision, heightened perception and high-stakes exposure into her advisory.
