Miss Kasturi Tahlani

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“"No pain is less pain" is a line that is stuck with me. I believe in providing a safe place in therapy for one to express, explore and experience their authentic and highest functioning selves while drawing from evidential practices of CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, inner child healing, emotion focused therapy and trauma.”

About Me

"No pain is less pain" is a belief I carry into every session. I provide a truly safe space for you to express and explore your authentic self without judgment. We can gently uncover patterns and emotions, perhaps exploring inner child healing to understand past influences. My aim is to help you connect with your highest functioning self, offering practical, evidence-based tools for lasting change. This approach suits those ready to bravely face their experiences and cultivate inner peace.

Approach

Holding the conviction that every hurt matters, I create a steady, nonjudgmental space to gently uncover patterns and the stories behind them. Sessions in Kolkata or via secure online video, in English or Hindi/Urdu, are paced to your comfort and often mix focused skill practice with emotion-focused exploration. Between meetings we may use short exercises and mindfulness to track shifts and manage anxiety, anger or procrastination while tending to inner-child material. This way of working tends to suit those seeking compassionate, practical change.
