Listen.
Therapy doesn’t have to be that “serious, sit-in-a-chair-and-stare-at-each-other” kind of thing. Think of this as our little corner where your feelings get a voice, your silence gets respect, and you get all the real support you need—without the eye-rolls or lecture notes.
Hello, I’m Sunita. I’m a therapist based out of Bangalore, India.
The Journey So Far: Lessons from Psychology
As a psychology student, I learned early that while we study brains, behaviour, and all the scientific terms, what matters most is connection. We’re here to guide, not dictate. Therapy is less about being the “expert in the room” and more about walking alongside someone, sometimes being the voice that says, “You’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone.” And in a country as diverse and emotionally rich as India, our minds could use a little more TLC—without the labels, stigma, or hush-hush tones.
India is at the crossroads of tradition and transformation, and our approach to mental health reflects that. It’s time we rethink what mental health support looks like. We’re not just “patients” needing to be “treated”; we’re individuals seeking to understand ourselves better, heal from the past, and be the best versions of ourselves. That’s where my work comes in. I’m here to take mental wellness out of the shadows, swap out shame with self-respect, and bring in a socio-cultural approach that celebrates mental fitness.
Suffering to me isn’t the enemy. It’s a profound teacher. It’s the aching reminder that we’re alive, that we feel deeply, and that we’re capable of growth.
Just like you, I have my fears—of not being enough, of failing, or not reaching someone when they need me the most.
But, I fear stagnation more than failure. So, I thrive on curiosity, and to me, success is watching people light up as they find clarity, compassion, and connection within themselves. This isn’t just my job; it’s a large part of my identity.
Real >Perfect
Patience > Popular
Compassion > Exhibition.
I also believe that if we each just had a bit more room to be ourselves, the world would be a far more peaceful place.
How I Practice Self-Care
As a therapist, I prioritize self-care so I can show up fully for you. My own toolkit includes meditation, quiet walks, a bit of journaling, people-watching, wall-gazing and, let’s be honest, binge-watching an occasional series! Self-care is about finding what nourishes you, and I bring that energy to our sessions too.
Language Skills: My Super Power
Research shows that people express themselves best in their mother tongue. With fluency in English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, I connect across cultures and generations, ensuring our conversations have depth, warmth, and just the right amount of nativeness. After all, who wouldn’t want to share their quirks and feelings in the language that feels like home?
