Mrs Pooja Gupta, MSc

Counseling Psychologist

“A compassionate psychologist eager to work with people of all ages (except children), offer counselling and foster a safe, non-judgmental environment.”

About Me

I offer compassionate Counseling, guiding adolescents, adults, and older individuals to explore their experiences. My aim is to create a truly safe, non-judgmental space where your thoughts and feelings can be openly shared. We can work together to understand challenges and find forward paths. My approach ensures you feel heard and respected, making sessions a supportive place to grow.

Approach

I invite you to name what feels most urgent, and together we shape clear, manageable steps to address it. In Kolkata or online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, sessions move at a steady, conversational pace, balancing focused problem-solving with space for reflection. I pair coaching questions with attentive counselling, helping you build skills for stress, mood shifts, anxiety, career decisions or conflict management and offering brief practical tasks when helpful. People who value respectful, practical support often find this way of working helpful.
