Ethical & Inclusive Counselling

Creating Safe, Respectful, and Equitable Therapeutic Spaces

Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. It must be attuned, accountable, and rooted in integrity. My commitment is to offer therapy that honors your identity, affirms your lived experiences, and upholds the highest ethical standards—so you can bring your full self into the room.

A Practice That Affirms All Identities

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

This is a space where queer, trans, and gender non-conforming individuals are seen and affirmed. I understand the unique challenges of:

Coming out and family acceptance

Gender identity exploration

Navigating queer partnerships and chosen families

Living at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities

Cultural Humility & Responsiveness

Cultural Humility & Responsiveness

No two clients walk into therapy with the same story. I acknowledge that factors like caste, religion, gender identity, sexuality, class, region, language, and migration deeply shape how we experience the world. Therapy must honor these complexities—not erase them.

Ongoing Learning

Cultural competence is not a destination—it's a continuous process. I actively engage in learning about systemic oppression, social justice, and the historical and political realities that affect mental health in India and globally.

Language Sensitivity

I use language that affirms rather than pathologizes. You'll never be labeled as “too emotional” or “difficult to work with.” Instead, we'll explore the protective purpose behind your patterns—with curiosity, not criticism.

Confidentiality

What you share in therapy stays in therapy. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of trust in our work together. Exceptions exist only in rare cases involving immediate harm, child abuse, or legal obligations. I will never share information about our sessions without your clear, written consent.

Informed Consent

You have the right to make informed choices about your mental health care. At the start of therapy, you’ll receive clear details about:

  • My training and therapeutic approach
  • What you can expect from the process
  • Session frequency, duration, and fees
  • Your rights as a client
  • How to raise concerns or file complaints if needed

Professional Boundaries

Therapy works best within clear, compassionate boundaries:

  • Sessions begin and end on time
  • The relationship remains professional, respectful, and therapeutic
  • I engage in regular supervision, peer consults, and personal therapy
  • I continuously educate myself through research and training

Evidence-Based Practice

Each client is unique, but my interventions draw from evidence-based frameworks like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed approaches.

I blend structure with intuition, adapting to what feels safest and most effective for you.

Voices of Healing

Stories from People Who Found Safety, Clarity, and Growth Through Therapy

Every journey shared here reflects a unique path of courage, reflection, and transformation.These words have been offered with permission, with all identifying details changed to ensure privacy and confidentiality.

They are not just testimonials—they are reminders that healing is possible, even when it feels hard. That growth can be quiet, slow, and still meaningful. And that therapy is not about fixing, but about discovering new ways of relating—to oneself, to others, and to life.

I didn't know how much I needed therapy until I sat across from someone who really listened.

Coming into therapy, I thought I needed tools and strategies—but what helped me most was having someone sit with me in my pain without rushing me out of it. That changed everything.

A.R., 32, Gurgaon

I used to think being 'too sensitive' was a flaw. Now I know it's how I understand the world.

Therapy helped me understand why I reacted the way I did, and why my needs weren't wrong—they just weren't always understood. That insight softened so much of my self-blame.

M., 26, Pune

After years of anxiety, I finally feel like I'm not battling my mind every day.

I learned to notice my anxious patterns without judging them, and to slowly build practices that feel safe and doable. Therapy gave me the space to go at my own pace.

R.N., 29, Bangalore

We came in as a couple on the edge. We left as partners who could talk again.

We didn't think therapy would work. We thought we were too far gone. But something shifted in how we were seen together. Our fights changed. We started listening again.

Anonymous, Couples Therapy Client

This isn't about becoming a new me. It's about finally accepting who I already was.

The sessions didn't magically make my problems go away, but I now feel better equipped to meet them. With more compassion. Less fear.
