Mrs Monika Mande

Counseling Psychologist

“A compassionate, non-judgmental, trauma informed therapist with an eclectic approach. A consultant psychologist with 9 years of rich experience of working as a counselor, psychotherapist, and facilitator. Over the years I have been trained into client centered, narrative therapy, and REBT-CBT approaches.”

About Me

Clients find a compassionate, non-judgmental space with this consultant psychologist. Drawing on nine years of experience, they offer trauma-informed care through an eclectic approach. This blends client-centred understanding with practical tools from REBT-CBT and narrative therapy. Sessions are tailored, helping you explore experiences and develop new perspectives. This flexible style suits those seeking a safe environment to navigate challenges and find a clear path forward.

Approach

Rather than only diagnosing, sessions begin with open listening and gentle curiosity, then shift into collaborative goal-setting that blends storytelling with practical coping skills. Based in Pune I work online and in person, in English, Hindi/Urdu and Marathi, keeping pacing flexible to suit adults and couples. Therapy moves between exploring past patterns through narrative reflection and practising REBT-CBT–informed exercises between meetings, so change feels steady and manageable. People facing anxiety, relationship strains or life transitions often find this approach helpful.
