Meet Aakanksha, a Psychologist and NLP Coach dedicated to creating a space where clients feel genuinely understood, deeply supported, and empowered to grow. Her approach to therapy is shaped by nine years of experience and a deep commitment to holistic healing, giving her work a quality of warmth, curiosity, and authenticity that clients feel from the very first session, whether she's working with an individual or a couple.
Over the years, Aakanksha has had the privilege of working with over 5,000 individuals and couples in both group and one-on-one settings, across countries including India, the UK, the USA, Kuwait, Australia, Canada, Vietnam, and Indonesia. This international exposure has given her a rich and nuanced understanding of how culture and background shape a person's emotional world, and she approaches each client's story, and each couple's dynamic, with genuine respect for the full context of their lived experience. You will never need to explain or justify who you are in her space.
Aakanksha works with individuals navigating emotional healing, limiting patterns, self-esteem, and personal transformation, as well as couples looking to rebuild connection, improve communication, and work through conflict together. She integrates a thoughtful blend of evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Art Therapy, and NLP coaching, always tailoring her methods to what will work best for you, individually or as a couple, rather than applying a rigid formula.
Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, and firmly non-judgmental. Together, you and Aakanksha will work on releasing emotional baggage, breaking free from limiting patterns, and building the resilience, communication, and self-awareness that lead to lasting change, in your relationship with yourself and with those closest to you. She continuously upgrades her skills through certifications, ensuring the care you receive is grounded in the most current and effective therapeutic approaches, and confidentiality remains a cornerstone of everything she does.
Aakanksha's goal is simple but meaningful: to offer a safe space where you, or you and your partner, can process your experiences, discover a healthier and more empowered way forward, and move toward greater balance, resilience, and self-discovery. Wherever you are in your journey, she is ready to meet you there.
