Ms Anoushka Acharya, MA

Counselling Psychologist

Verified

“I am a Counselling Psychologist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in training. I work long-term with people carrying the quiet, harder-to-name weight of everyday life, the part that insight alone doesn't shift. I work in-person in Indore and online globally.”

About me

Some thoughts I can help you with: 1) I keep repeating the same patterns in my relationships. 2) My body feels tense even when nothing is wrong. 3) I understand my problems, but nothing seems to shift. 4) I am going through a big change and don't feel like myself. 5) I feel like I am living on autopilot. 6) I carry something heavy I don't have the words for yet. If any of these sound familiar, therapy can help, slowly and at your pace. I run Mitrah, my private practice based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, where I have spent the past two years working with clients in person and online- including several based abroad. That experience has shaped how I hold cultural context and nuance in the room. I became a therapist because I understood, from the inside, what it feels like to carry something without quite having the language for it yet. That experience informs how I show up, not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who takes this work seriously and brings their whole self to it. You don't need to perform being okay here. Just show up as you are. That is genuinely enough.

Approach

My approach is somatic and trauma-informed which means I pay attention not just to what you think, but to what your body is carrying. I work from the understanding that insight alone is rarely enough to create lasting change. The nervous system needs to be part of the healing too. I draw on Somatic Experiencing with a Trauma-Informed Lens, rooted in compassion and curiosity with a relational approach to therapy. This space is for committed people who are ready to do deeper work. If that's what you're looking for, I'd love to work with you. Sessions are available on a sliding scale basis. It is INR 2,800 to 3,200 for India-based clients and USD 59 to 99 for international clients. All new clients begin with a 15-minute paid consultation call, bookable via the link on this profile.
