Ms Ruchika Meshram

Counseling Psychologist

I am a freelance counselling psychologist offering online counselling services. I'm a caste-affirmative, and queer-affirmative counsellor and take an eclectic approach for the best counselling experience. Everyone has struggles that they are going through, but these struggles shouldn't make your routine life difficult.

About Me

It's understandable when life's struggles begin to disrupt your daily routine. As an online Counseling psychologist, I offer a warm, queer-affirmative and caste-affirmative space where you can explore these challenges. My eclectic approach allows us to tailor sessions precisely to your unique needs. We'll work together to find practical strategies, ensuring your difficulties don't overwhelm your everyday life. This flexible and supportive environment is ideal for navigating complex feelings.

Approach

That flexibility shows up in how I structure each session — a steady, practical rhythm that balances attentive listening, short experiments and gentle reflection so things feel manageable between meetings. Sessions are online from Bangalore and I work in English, Hindi/Urdu or Marathi, which helps us keep momentum with brief check-ins and simple practices between appointments. We use focused skills—mindfulness, values-based choices and task planning—to shift routines, mood and motivation over time. This approach tends to suit people juggling study, work or relationship pressures who want clear, doable change.
