Mrs Rupa Joshi

Clinical Psychologist

“An empathetic and queer-friendly psychologist with an eclectic approach to counselling.”

About Me

As an empathetic and queer-friendly psychologist, I offer a truly understanding space. My eclectic approach ensures our conversations adapt to your unique needs. We can then navigate life’s complexities together, exploring different perspectives or tools to find clarity. This flexible approach suits individuals seeking a safe, affirming space to grow.

Approach

A warm, queer-affirming stance shapes how I work: I listen closely, name patterns you bring, and tailor pace and tools to what feels possible for you. In Arusha and online, I offer sessions in English, Gujarati, Hindi/Urdu or Kiswahili, so practical steps and reflections land in language that fits your life. Sessions blend focused reflection with short, doable exercises you can try between meetings, especially when navigating relationships, mood or recovery challenges. People who value a collaborative, steady process often find this way of working helpful.
