Ms Ankita Dandekar

Counseling Psychologist

“With over 5,328+ hours of counselling experience and 97.2 %+ Very Helpful Ratings, I specialize in providing support across diverse age groups and a wide range of concerns. I am deeply committed to a personalized, culturally sensitive, and transparent approach to therapy, with a strong focus on building resilience.”

About Me

I help individuals and families navigate life's challenges, drawing on my broad experience with diverse age groups. My approach is deeply personalised, ensuring our work together is tailored to your unique needs. I believe in a transparent process, openly discussing how we can build your resilience and find strength. Clients seeking a culturally sensitive and collaborative space will find a supportive guide here.

Approach

Clients often notice a practical, conversational rhythm in our work that balances safety with gentle challenge, helping unravel the patterns that keep you stuck. Sessions—held in English, Hindi/Urdu or Marathi, in my Mumbai office or online—move at a steady, collaborative pace with moments for reflection and clear planning. We set small experiments, track emotional and behavioural shifts between meetings, and I offer concise, culturally attuned tools to manage anxiety, grief, trauma or relationship strain. This way of working suits adolescents, parents and adults seeking respectful, tangible change.
