Dr Chitra Munshi

Psychotherapist

“I am committed towards helping clients identify their unresolved life distresses affecting the present functioning.”

About Me

When past experiences weigh on your present, life can feel overwhelming. I am committed to helping you explore unresolved life distresses. We'll work together to understand how these influence your current wellbeing. As an integrative psychotherapist, I offer a collaborative space. Here, we connect the threads, making sense of what might be holding you back. This approach suits clients ready to delve into their history, finding clarity and new ways forward.

Approach

When past experiences surface in daily routines, I guide you to name their impact and gently track how they show up now. In sessions from my Mumbai practice or online in English or Hindi/Urdu, we move at a steady, client-paced rhythm—stabilising, mapping triggers, and practising skills you can use between meetings. I employ trauma-informed, focused methods to reprocess difficult memories while keeping present safety central, inviting reflection and small experiments to try new ways of relating. This approach suits adults seeking careful, practical change in mood, relationships and daily functioning.
