Sonali Bagde

Psychotherapist

“15 years of experience in mental health. Theoretical orientation of my training has been Object Relations school of therapy.”

About Me

As a psychotherapist, I help you explore how past experiences influence your present relationships and inner world. My training in Object Relations therapy guides our work, offering a deeper understanding of these patterns. With 15 years in mental health, I provide a steady, insightful space. This approach is ideal for those seeking to transform recurring relational challenges and foster lasting change.

Approach

Sessions unfold as steady, curiosity-led exploration: I listen for recurring relationship rhythms, name their origins, and help you try new relational responses in the room. I offer appointments in Pune and online, and work in English, Hindi/Urdu and Marathi so the words we use feel accessible and exact. We move at your pace—brief reflections, deeper narratives, and simple experiments between meetings to test different ways of relating under stress. Those navigating transitions, loss, or persistent anxiety often find this paced, relational focus clarifying and freeing.
