I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore identity, relationships, mental health, and life transitions.

My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive, supporting individuals in building self-understanding, resilience, and authentic lives.

I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, identity-related distress, internalized stigma, relationship difficulties, and family or societal pressures. My approach combines structured, evidence-based therapies with a nuanced understanding of the psychological and social factors that impact LGBTQ+ mental health.

My goal is to support individuals in building self-acceptance, resilience, and a sense of psychological safety in both their inner world and external environment.

Bhakti Kaushik

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist (RCI registered) who offers affirmative, respectful and psychologically grounded therapy for individuals across the LGBTQ+ spectrum. My work is rooted in the understanding that distress experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals is often shaped not by identity itself, but by stigma, invisibility, rejection, internalised shame and the ongoing effort of navigating unsafe or non-affirming environments.
In therapy, I work with concerns such as identity exploration, coming-out processes, family and relationship dynamics, minority stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-worth and intersectional challenges related to gender, sexuality, culture and societal expectations. I aim to create a space where clients do not have to explain or justify who they are, a space that is emotionally safe, non-judgmental and grounded in affirmation rather than assumptions.
My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from CBT, acceptance-based work, mindfulness and relational therapy, while remaining deeply sensitive to lived experience. I believe therapy should support both emotional healing and self-agency, allowing individuals to build resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of self on their own terms. Sessions are offered via secure chat and video, with care, confidentiality, and dignity at the centre of the therapeutic process.

Their practice is queer-affirmative and disability-friendly, informed by both lived experience and ongoing training. Clients are encouraged to share any accessibility needs.

With three years of experience at a sexual wellness organization, Kavya also works with concerns related to pleasure, desire, body image, and relationships. They are comitted to creating space for conversations that may feel difficult or awkward to bring up elsewhere.

Kavya

Therapy (CBT) with a strong foundation in LGBTQIA+ affirmative practice. My work is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive therapeutic space where individuals feel seen, heard, and respected for who they truly are.
Using CBT, I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and gently work towards developing healthier coping patterns, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. Alongside this, my LGBTQIA+ affirmative approach acknowledges the unique emotional, social, and identity-related challenges faced by queer individuals, while actively validating their lived experiences rather than pathologising them.
I believe therapy is not about “fixing” a person, but about empowering them with insight, skills, and emotional strength to navigate life with greater clarity and confidence. My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and evidence-based, ensuring that each client’s journey is personalised, respectful, and meaningful.
If you’re looking for a therapist who combines scientific rigor with deep human understanding—someone who honours your identity while helping you grow—I would be honoured to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

Sweta Raghav

As a counselling psychologist offering LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, with a focus on anxiety, anger, depression, interpersonal challenges, and couples therapy, I work with individuals and couples across the gender and sexuality spectrum, holding space for the unique emotional, relational, and societal experiences that shape queer lives. My therapeutic approach is grounded in an attachment-based and humanistic lens, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and eclectic methods. I view emotional distress not as a personal failing, but as an understandable response to lived experiences, such as minority stress, identity exploration, relational wounds, family dynamics, and the ongoing negotiation of safety, belonging, and authenticity.

Preksha Bhandari

As a highly motivated therapist and published researcher, I am deeply committed to leveraging my skills and expertise to empower individuals and communities, including those from LGBTQ+ communities. I am dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive and affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their identities, experiences and challenges without judgement.

I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques and theories to create a personalised treatment plan for each client. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and that meaningful change is best supported through treatment tailored to individual needs, values and goals. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative and trauma-informed, with a strong emphasis on cultural sensitivity, identity affirmation and emotional safety.

The therapeutic approaches I use include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). I have experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals with concerns related to identity exploration, coming out, minority stress, relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and overall wellbeing.

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and rooted in deep respect for each client’s lived experience.

My therapeutic work is integrative, drawing from CBT, emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness, and relational approaches, while always centering affirmation, autonomy, and consent. I believe therapy should be a space where you don’t have to explain or justify who you are, but can instead focus on understanding yourself, building resilience, and healing at your own pace.

I offer online therapy sessions and am committed to ethical, inclusive, and client-centred practice that honours authenticity, safety, and dignity.

Apurva Kamble

As a Counselling Psychologist, and an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, I am fully dedicated to bringing mental health access to everyone and anyone with any issues related to their identity, orientations, mental health struggles etc. 

I can relate to the LGBTQ+ community, and I fully understand the problems faced by them through their day-to-day, which may seem trivial and nothing to others, but can be an intense battle that they fight all alone. I want to help them realize that they don't have to fight that battle alone. 

Madan Kumar

Hi! I’m Prathiksha (she/her), a queer and neurodivergent psychologist based in Bengaluru. With a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and certification in Trauma-Informed Care and Queer-Affirmative Practice, I’m committed to helping individuals — especially queer youth and adults — navigate trauma, anxiety, identity, self-esteem, and life transitions with compassion and growing curiosity.

My work centers on building awareness, fostering emotional regulation, and helping clients find their voice through self-expression and reconnect with their authentic selves. I draw from Gestalt therapy, Art-Based practices, and queer-affirmative approaches to create a collaborative, expressive space where healing unfolds through reflection, creativity, and body awareness. 

Outside of therapy, I love creating art across mediums, exploring world cinema, and advocating for animal rights,  each reminding me of the many ways we express our shared humanity.

If you’re looking for a space to unpack your story, explore your identity, or simply be understood without judgment, you’re most welcome here.

We’ll take it one conversation at a time, at your pace.
