About Ananya

Rooted in relationship

I'm Ananya — a counselling psychologist and trauma-informed therapist with a Masters in Applied Psychology (Clinical) from TISS, Mumbai. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and suicidal ideation.

My work is relational, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your own inner knowing. Grounded in Transactional Analysis, somatic awareness, and narrative practices, I hold space with warmth and without judgment. Whether you come with a clear question or just a feeling you can't name yet — there is room for all of it here.

I am currently completing a 5-year TA certification programme, and will be expanding into group work and clinical supervision for fellow therapists.

On seeking permission

On Seeking Permission

One of the quieter things noticed in the therapy room is how often people ask for permission without ever using the word — questioning not their emotions, but whether those emotions are legitimate enough to deserve space.

Musings

Thoughts on the tender parts

Short reflections on what it means to feel, to grieve, to heal — and to keep showing up anyway.

On grief & connection
The Grief of Being Misunderstood
Sometimes the deepest loneliness is not being alone, but feeling unseen by people who believe they already know you.

Sit With Your Emotions
It can be a quiet, confusing phrase. What does that even mean? Won't it get worse if I focus on it?

On healing
What Healing Can Look Like
Trusting our own reality. Reducing the urge to over-explain. Finding relationships rooted in curiosity instead of assumptions.

"Beyond being understood logically, we long to be understood in our emotional reality — with curiosity about what shaped us, what hurt us, and who we are beneath it all."

What clients say

Words from the room

Working with Ananya has been one of the most grounding experiences of my life. She holds space in a way that never feels rushed or clinical — just deeply present.

I came in with a vague sense of being lost. Over time, Ananya helped me understand patterns I had been carrying for years without even knowing it. That clarity has changed everything.

I was nervous about starting therapy online. Ananya made it feel like the most natural thing. The space she creates is warm and completely non-judgmental — I always leave feeling lighter.

Approach

Therapy rooted in understanding

Transactional Analysis (TA) is a rich, accessible framework developed by Eric Berne. It helps us understand how we relate to ourselves and others — through the lens of ego states, life scripts, and the transactions we play out, often without realising it.

My approach is integrative — TA forms the backbone, but I draw on narrative practices, somatic and body-aware techniques, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused psychotherapy depending on what is most useful for you in the moment.

I work in a way that is explicitly queer affirmative and trauma-informed — holding your identity, history, and the world you live in as central to the work, not footnotes to it.

01

Relational at heart

The connection between us is not just a container for therapy — it is therapy.

02

Your story matters

Narrative practices help us look at the stories you've been handed — and find the ones more truly yours.

03

Patterns & possibility

TA helps us see the patterns we learned long ago — so we can choose differently.

04

All of you, welcome

Your identity, body, history, and present — there is room for all of it here, without judgment.
