BARKHA NAYAK
M.A. (Counseling Psychology), University of Mumbai | Advance Certification in REBT, AEI, New York | ADHD Coaching, ADDCA, USA
Author, Mental Health A-Z
13 years | 1000+ Clients | 5000+ sessions
I work best with Working professionals with ADHD & Performance anxiety, who are tired of constantly fighting their own minds.
I combine evidence-based REBT with ADHD coaching techniques to help you understand yourself, regulate emotions, and build systems that work for your brain—so life feels less overwhelming and more manageable.
As an ADHDer myself, and having worked through my own struggle with high-functioning anxiety, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience.
My structured, transparent approach is designed give you clarity, direction, and confidence from the very first session.
Waiting to 'feel ready' often keeps people stuck. Clarity usually comes after starting therapy, not before.
Outside therapy, you'll usually find me gardening, discovering good food, travelling, or spending time with my dogs. I'm endlessly curious and probably learning something new.

SIMANTIKA CHANCHANI
M.A. (Counseling Psychology), S.N.D.T. Women's University | Trained in REBT (In Vivo, Mumbai)
9+ years | 1,000+ clients | 4,000+ therapy sessions
I work best with adults navigating anxiety and depression while struggling with uncertainty, self-doubt, low confidence, perfectionism, and the constant feeling of "I'm not good enough."
People often tell me they feel comfortable opening up with me sooner than they expected. I believe therapy works best when you feel accepted, understood, and free to be yourself—without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.
Using REBT with my unique relatable & easy-going style, I help you understand the thoughts driving your emotions and change the unhelpful patterns that keep you stuck. Therapy with me is full of examples & analofoes so that concepts reamain practical, memorable, and easy to apply sustainably.
Life has taught me resilience, acceptance, and the importance of hope, even during difficult times. My difficult personal experinces have shaped me into a therapist who leads with empathy, honesty, and optimism—believing that meaningful change happens one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you.
You don't need to feel certain before before starting therapy. Confidence is often one of the greatest outcomes of therapy.
Outside therapy, you'll usually find me following cricket, tennis, and Formula 1, catching up on TV shows and pop culture, or unwinding with coffee, music, and a long drive.

KUNJAL PUROHIT
M.A. (Counseling Psychology), SNDT University, Mumbai | Advanced Certification in REBT, AEI, New York | REBT for Relationship Issues, Certificate from Invivo Mumbai
3+ years | 350+ clients | 1,700+ therapy sessions
I work best with adults working through self-doubt and self-image issues, relationship conflicts, and the anxiety and negative thinking that comes with these, including young adults with ADHD looking for support that actually fits how their mind works.
I meet clients where they are, not with a script.
My approach is collaborative and evidence-based rooted in REBT. Together, we'll identify the thought patterns keeping you stuck and build practical ways to respond differently. I use relatable examples from everyday life, movies, and shows to make new perspectives easier to understand and remember, so they translate into lasting change beyond therapy.
Having navigated my own struggles with negative thinking and anxiety, as well as the challenges of a long-distance relationship, I understand many of the emotional challenges my clients bring into therapy. If you're looking for a therapist who is approachable, adaptable, and willing to work alongside you at your pace, we'll likely be a good fit.
Starting therapy isn't easy. But waiting rarely makes things easier; beginning often does.
Outside therapy, you'll usually find me working out, cooking up something new, watching movies or sports or trying out a new restaurant with people I love. Come Navratri though, I turn into a full-time garba enthusiast.
