Somewhere gentle to see
the whole picture.
Warm, judgment-free counselling for the messy, human middle of things — anxiety, grief, relationships, and the quiet work of growing. Online, across India.
You don’t need a diagnosis, a crisis, or the right words to begin. Just a small willingness to look at things together — slowly, and without judgment.
Eclectic, but rooted.
I borrow what genuinely helps from across psychotherapy — and let three ideas hold it all together. No labels. No fixing. Just a steady, curious look at your world.
The whole picture
We pay attention to what’s happening right now — in your body, your words, and between us — not just the story on paper. Awareness itself is where change begins.
Your experience, taken seriously
No diagnosis, no assumptions. We start from your lived reality — how things actually feel to you — and stay honestly curious about it, side by side.
Re-authoring your story
You are not the problem; the problem is the problem. We loosen the grip of the old story and make room for the one you’d actually rather be living.
Small, unassuming, quietly nourishing — my nod to accessible creativity: the belief that there’s almost always a more human, more inventive way through. In the spirit of steal like an artist, I borrow what works and make it yours.
What we can work on
Some of what people bring to sessions. If yours isn’t here, reach out anyway — most of it lives in the overlaps.
Individual counselling
A one-to-one space to think out loud and be met, exactly as you are.
Anxiety & stress
Untangle the racing mind and find steadier ground under your feet.
Grief & loss
Room to carry what you’ve lost, at your own unhurried pace.
Relationships & couples
Understand the patterns you keep landing in — alone or together.
Transitions & identity
Make sense of who you’re becoming when everything shifts at once.
Self-esteem & the inner critic
Soften the harsh inner voice and slowly build a kinder one.
Young adults & students
Navigate pressure, purpose and the quarter-life fog.
Workplace burnout
Recover from running on empty and redraw your limits.
Pull up a chair.
Sessions happen online — but the feeling I aim for is this couch: unhurried, warm, a little imperfect, and entirely yours. Fifty minutes where you don’t have to perform being okay.
(And yes — the painting on the wall is mine too.)
Hello, I’m Tanuj.
I’m a counselling psychologist working online with adults across India. I hold an MSc in Clinical Psychology and a BSc (Hons) — but the letters matter less than this: I don’t believe people are problems to be fixed. You’re a whole to be understood.
My work is integrative, leaning on gestalt and phenomenology and woven with narrative practice. I don’t diagnose or prescribe; where clinical care is needed, I’ll gladly help you find it. Mostly, I try to be a steady, honest presence while you make sense of things.
My money plant. He’s survived neglect, repotting, and one dramatic move. Growth, it turns out, is rarely a straight line — it trails, doubles back, and roots from the unlikeliest cutting. Therapy is a lot like tending a plant: the right light, some patience, and time you can’t rush.
Some things I rarely mention in the room — but they quietly shape the hours we’ll spend there.
hours spent in session with clients — the kind of listening you can only earn slowly.

graduated top of my class in BSc Psychology (Hons). Useful, mostly, for knowing what to unlearn.
What the work has felt like.
A few reflections clients have chosen to share. Names and details are changed to protect privacy, and every one is used with consent.
I arrived able to name exactly what was wrong, and left able to actually feel it. That turned out to be the whole difference.
Not once did I feel like a case to be solved. For the first time, therapy felt like simply being met — exactly as I was.
The pace was mine. Nothing rushed, nothing pushed. I genuinely didn’t know that was allowed in a room like this.
In line with counselling ethics, I never solicit or incentivise testimonials. These were offered freely, and can be withdrawn at any time.
How it works
Reach out
A message by email or WhatsApp. Even “I’m not sure where to start” is a fine start.
A short intro call
A brief, no-pressure call to feel the fit. No obligation to continue.
Weekly sessions
A protected hour each week, over video, from wherever you feel safe.
Good things to ask
Is this therapy, or counselling?+
Both words point to the same thing here: a confidential, evidence-informed space to understand yourself and move through what’s hard. My training is integrative and my stance is counselling-first — growth and meaning, not diagnosis.
Do you diagnose or prescribe medication?+
No. As a counselling psychologist I don’t label or medicate. If you’d benefit from psychiatric care, I’ll gladly help you connect with the right professional.
How long and how often?+
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly to begin with. There’s no fixed number — we review together, and you’re always free to pause or stop.
Is it confidential?+
Yes. What you share stays between us, within the standard limits of safety and the law — which I’ll explain clearly right at the start.
What does it cost?+
I keep fees fair and transparent. I’ll share current fees on our intro call and we’ll find something workable for you.
Is online really as good as in person?+
For most people, yes. Research consistently finds online counselling as effective as face-to-face — with the bonus of meeting from a place you already feel safe.
Let’s begin, gently.
There’s no perfect moment and no right words. If something in you is nudging you to reach out — that’s enough.
