Ms Rakhi N Gopan

Counseling Psychologist

“Socially committed mental health practitioner who is passionate to work with individuals and groups from all walks of life aiming at regaining sustainable mental health and personal growth. Certified in couple and family therapist and queer affirmative counseling practices.”

About Me

This practice offers dedicated support for individuals and groups from all walks of life. We are passionate about fostering sustainable mental health and personal growth. As a certified couple and family therapist, I provide affirming, queer-inclusive care. This approach helps you navigate life's challenges, building resilience in a truly collaborative space. It is ideal for those seeking inclusive support for diverse relationships and personal journeys.

Approach

Rooted in social commitment, I focus on practical shifts that strengthen relationships and everyday wellbeing. Sessions in Bangalore or online—in English or Malayalam—move at a steady, collaborative pace: we map patterns, try small experiments, and bring family or partners in when it helps. Between sessions I offer brief check-ins and tools to practice communication and boundaries, and I advocate for resources when systems get in the way. This way of working fits people seeking grounded, relational change.
