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 critical acclaim in lead roles and invitations for features in publications such as Vogue, provided exposure to acute pressure and high visibility in global environments.

Named a Google Zeitgeist Fastest Rising Star in 2010, Aruna gained firsthand insight into performance under scrutiny. This inspired her to study the mind and establish a unique psychological advisory practice, which she ran across Los Angeles and Silicon Valley from 2015 to 2025 before returning to London in 2026.

Aruna integrates Psychotherapy, Oxford University’s Mindfulness protocols, and Consciousness-Based Psychology. Her advisory combines clinical precision with heightened perceptual insight and a deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with success.
