Ms Anusmita Kalita, MSc

Counseling Psychologist

“A compassionate, open, queer-affirmative counselling psychologist with experience working with people from various walks of life. In therapy I adopt an eclectic approach with a strong intersectional stance with a touch of existentialism.”

About Me

My practice offers compassionate, queer-affirmative Counseling to people from all walks of life. We'll explore your unique story, understanding how different parts of your identity shape your world. My approach adapts to your needs, creating a space where we can openly discuss life's big questions. This collaborative style helps you navigate challenges, feeling truly seen and understood.

Approach

Gentle curiosity guides how we explore your story, attending to the intersections that shape choices and meaning while staying rooted in real moments of feeling and action. Sessions in Bangalore or online move at your pace, in English or Hindi/Urdu, mixing reflective talk with simple practices and creative tasks you can try between meetings. I track patterns together—emotional, relational and behavioural—so we can test small shifts and notice what changes. People navigating transitions, relationships or burnout often find this steady, practical curiosity helpful.
