About

Hi! I'm Lubhanshi, a counselling psychologist and psychotherapist from Chennai, India. My work is focused on cultivating warmth in the therapy room, where clients can find insight through the profound experience of emotional safety and unconditional acceptance.
I have a Master’s degree and three years of experience as a therapist. I specialise in working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, especially those navigating challenges related to interpersonal relationships and intimacy, food and body image, identity, emotion regulation and mental health concerns. My practice is inclusive and affirming and I have experience working with clients at intersections of gender identities, sexual orientations, and neurodivergent experiences.
I approach therapy with genuine curiosity and compassion, aiming to forge a meaningful connection that feels both safe and empowering for my clients. My focus is on honouring each client's unique experiences and realities, ensuring they feel truly seen and cared for. Together, we'll embark on a journey of exploration, looking inward to uncover insights and discover paths towards growth and healing. I strive to cultivate an atmosphere of empathy and respect, where we can navigate challenges and celebrate your strengths together.
While I draw from various therapeutic approaches and theories (such as CBT, parts-theory, attachment theory & interpersonal neurobiology), I anchor my practice in the relational and person-centred stance. This means that I believe that the most powerful tool in my arsenal as a therapist is my ‘human-ness’ and I value my relationship with my client over any other intervention or technique I may use. Our work together is rooted in the strong, trusting relationship we build collaboratively. Embracing principles such as congruence, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, I believe strongly in the power of genuine human connection to facilitate meaningful change. As such, I'm committed to bringing my 'human-ness' into the therapeutic space, honouring the unique journey of each client and their agency, while also drawing from my own experiences.
