Akanksha Mehta

I am a Counselling Psychologist and an LGBTQ+-affirmative therapist, committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space for individuals across diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures. I work with adults and couples who may be navigating identity exploration, coming out, relationship concerns, anxiety, minority stress, family conflicts, internalized shame, and the emotional impact of living in non-affirming environments. 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.
