Ms Jeni Thakkar

Psychotherapist

“A compassionate queer affirmative psychotherapist who aims to provide a safe space and has extensive experience in working with adults going through a range of concerns.”

About Me

As a compassionate queer affirmative psychotherapist, I offer adults a safe, welcoming space to explore their concerns. My extensive experience helps individuals navigate a wide range of challenges, fostering understanding and growth. I champion an environment where you can feel truly seen and heard. This is especially vital for queer individuals, ensuring an affirming, effective therapeutic relationship. Sessions are designed to meet your unique needs.

Approach

You’ll find sessions grounded in gentle curiosity and clear collaboration, where we translate concerns into manageable steps and honour your pace. I work from Mumbai and online, offering therapy in English and Hindi/Urdu with flexible pacing to fit your life. Together we use values-based exercises, practical skills and brief experiments between sessions to interrupt unhelpful patterns around mood, anger, relationships, body image and burnout. This approach often helps adolescents and adults who want steady, respectful support through change.
