About Me

I’m Mannya, a counselling psychologist with 3 years of experience. I have a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Christ (Deemed to be University), Bangalore. I am a certified QPR Gatekeeper.

My Approach to Therapy

“From the cradle to the grave, human beings are hardwired to seek not just social contact, but also physical and emotional proximity to special others who are deemed irreplaceable.” - Dr. Sue Johnson

As social beings, we thrive on meaningful human connections. Within my practice, I assist clients in gaining insight into their unique methods of establishing these connections. With a specific focus on emotions, I collaborate with clients to discover what their feelings are trying to communicate. I mainly practice from a schema and attachment oriented framework and my practice is queer and neurodivergent affirmative. I work with clients between the ages of 21 and 50. Every client is different, which means my approach to working with each client varies accordingly. While I bring psychological expertise as a counseling psychologist, it's essential to acknowledge that each client is the authority on their life journey. Together, we form a collaborative team, and I play a role in guiding and empowering my clients to assume control over their own lives.
