Social support and mental health
This is why social support is so important in preserving and promoting mental health.
Lakshmi Ravi Kumar
Psychologist
“I offer 1:1 online therapy & coaching for anxiety, emotional overwhelm & relationship concerns. I have 7 years of experience working with individuals globally & helping them improve their quality of life. I offer support to people in creating meaningful & lasting change in their own ways.”
About Me
I help clients navigate challenging emotions like anxiety, stress, or depression. With over 2000 consultations, I offer a steady, supportive presence. My aim is to create a truly safe space for you to explore your feelings openly. We will work together to understand your concerns and develop practical ways to manage them effectively.
Approach
When we work together, sessions move at a gentle, focused pace that lets you name what feels urgent and what you want to change. From my Bangalore base I offer online appointments in English, Hindi/Urdu or Malayalam, and I balance short-term coaching tools with ACT-based exploration so you can practice fresh ways of responding between meetings. I keep tasks realistic and collaborative, checking in on what’s useful and what needs adjusting. People seeking clearer coping strategies and steadier relationships often find this approach fits well.
