Ms Aanchal Anand

Counselor

“I specialize in supporting adults of South Asian descent facing a range of mental health challenges that stem from dysfunctional family dynamics. My approach is warm, empathetic, relational, and draws from a range of evidence-based practices. I offer online counselling to individuals from Singapore/around the world.”

About Me

I guide adults of South Asian descent through mental health challenges stemming from complex family dynamics. My warm, empathetic approach provides a safe space for exploration. I focus on building a strong relational foundation, drawing from evidence-based practices to help you find clarity. This culturally sensitive support is available online, wherever you are in the world, to navigate these unique experiences.

Approach

My sessions weave conversation with gentle, guided movement to uncover how family patterns shape thoughts, feelings, and daily choices. Online from Singapore in English or Tamil, I keep a steady, collaborative pace—short somatic practices, reflective prompts, and practical experiments you can try between sessions. We track small shifts and adjust together, focusing on grounding, clearer boundaries, and sustainable self-care. This way of working often fits people who want embodied, collaborative therapy that respects their cultural context and real-life demands.
