Ms Sanaaz R Doust

Counselor

I am a Counselling Psychotherapist who enjoys deep diving and working with the complexities of the human mind. My approach is an eclectic one in which I work with the need of every client to create a safe and nurturing therapeutic space.

About Me

I am a Counseling psychotherapist who enjoys exploring the intricate layers of the human mind. My eclectic approach is tailored to your unique needs. I create a safe, nurturing space where you can delve into complexities at your own pace. This individualised process helps clients understand themselves deeply. If you are ready to explore challenging thoughts or feelings, I offer a supportive environment.

Approach

When we meet, sessions move at a pace you set as we gently explore thoughts, emotions and recurring patterns together. I offer in-person work in Bengaluru and online in English, with predictable check-ins and gentle creative experiments between sessions. Therapy blends reflective conversation, mindfulness practices and expressive techniques so you can notice change, try new responses and strengthen your sense of self. This way of working often suits people navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges or the aftereffects of trauma.
