Ms Chitrankana Bandyopadhyay

Clinical Psychologist

“I am an eclectic, queer-affirmative and trauma-informed Clinical Psychologist trained in psychometry and psychotherapy for all mental illnesses and allied emotional and behavioural disturbances. I believe in the power of compassion and empathy in fuelling trust & courage in my patients to invest in their healing.”

About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist, I offer an eclectic and queer-affirmative space where your unique experiences are deeply understood. I integrate trauma-informed care and psychometry to support healing across diverse emotional and behavioural challenges. My approach fosters trust and courage, allowing you to invest fully in your well-being. Clients find a compassionate, empathetic environment. This helps you explore complex feelings and find a way forward.

Approach

Gentle curiosity shapes how we work together, turning difficult memories and present struggles into manageable steps that build safety and choice. In Kolkata or online, in Bengali, English or Hindi/Urdu, sessions move at a pace you set: focused assessment and careful reflection inform short experiments or skills between meetings so progress is visible and owned by you. I blend structured thinking with space for emotion, attending to identity and past harm while keeping each session practical. This approach often suits people seeking steady, respectful change.
