Shruti Jha

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.
