BioGRAPHY

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 foundational work in British theatre and martial arts transitioned into a high-profile international film career, earning critical acclaim for lead roles, alongside invitations for editorial features at Vogue.

Named a Google Zeitgeist Fastest Rising Star, Aruna experienced first-hand the acute pressure, visibility, and relational complexity of global public life before dedicating her focus to psychotherapy and cognitive performance. She translates this artistic rigor and firsthand high-stakes exposure into her advisory practice, offering a depth of psychological comprehension for individuals operating under pressure, high visibility or public scrutiny.

Grounded in over a decade of private practice, Aruna integrates Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnosis, Oxford University’s Mindfulness protocols, and Consciousness-Based Psychology. Aruna also led specialised clinical programs at Malibu recovery centers, Los Angeles mindfulness institutions, and pioneered global virtual initiatives for highly advanced meditators.
