About Me

I’m Yash, a counselling psychologist.

Most people who come to me are not unaware—they’ve already thought a lot about what’s going on.

The problem is that despite all that thinking, they still feel stuck.

You might be:

Overthinking things but not reaching clarity

Feeling anxious, low, or mentally drained

Struggling with stress from work, studies, or expectations

Dealing with relationship or family situations that feel confusing or difficult

Knowing something isn’t right, but not knowing what to do about it

At some point, it stops being about the problem itself—and becomes about feeling stuck with it. That’s where I come in.

I help you step out of that confusion, understand what’s actually happening, and respond in a way that is clearer and more grounded.

This is not just a space to talk—it’s a space to make sense of things. We break things down, identify patterns, and work towards clarity you can actually use.
