Hi, I’m Anitha, a Counselling Psychologist in private practice for over 6 years. My work is deeply rooted in understanding an individual’s lived experience and the imprints it leaves on both the mind and body. I offer therapy that is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in somatic practices.

Over time, I’ve reflected on what makes private practice truly safe — not just for our clients, but for us, the ones holding space. Many of us step into this path seeking freedom, alignment, and choice — to work in ways that reflect who we are. But in that freedom, we often find ourselves carrying difficult sessions, doubts, and dilemmas alone.
And yet… I don’t believe it has to feel lonely.

Sometimes, the presence of a community — even one we meet just once a month — can become a quiet anchor. A space not to fix or advise, but to reflect, to be witnessed, and to land. That’s what this group is about.

🌿 Calling Therapists in Private Practice (Chennai)
Starting this August, I’m opening a closed peer group for trauma-informed therapists working from a mind-body lens.

This will be a small, intentional group of 4 practitioners (including me), meeting once a month on Saturdays at my office in Teynampet, Chennai. Each session is 1.5 hours long, with a monthly contribution of ₹349.

Who this is for:
🌀 Therapists with 4+ years’ experience
🌀 Trauma-informed, with training or interest in somatic work
🌀 Seeking community, reflection, and mutual support

What the space offers:
— A steady circle for peer support
— A safe, nourishing space for connection
— Peer-led learning rooted in shared experience

This will be a closed group for a year to support depth and continuity.

✨ The Psyche Inheritance: Passing Down More Than Just Genes ✨

We think of inheritance as physical—eye color, hair texture, height—but what about the invisible traits we pass down? From our unspoken fears to hidden anxieties, our children inherit far more than we realize. 🌱

In those early, impressionable years, even our smallest words and actions create lasting imprints on their emotional world. Is it possible to break this cycle and leave a legacy of love, resilience, and emotional freedom?

📽️ OPERATION ARCTIC CURE 🧊

✨ Can the profound state of ‘awe’ aid in healing trauma and stress? This thought-provoking documentary explores an unconventional approach.

💫 Join a group of veterans on a journey across the Arctic wilderness, surrounded by awe-inspiring natural wonders. The goal? To experience the transformative power of awe and its potential to alleviate the invisible wounds of trauma.

⚡ Key Highlights:

🌟 Trauma leaves deep biological imprints. This documentary delves into how the state of awe can create a profound shift in the mind and body.

🌅 Awe induces a self-transcendent state, making us feel part of something greater than ourselves – an altered consciousness akin to a flow state.

💞 By immersing in the vastness of nature, awe pulls us away from rumination and daily stressors, connecting us to our surroundings in a profound way.

🛡️ While awe alone may not be a complete solution, it aids healing, harnessing the restorative power of wonder.

Grateful for the opportunity to speak about, “Essential Aspects for Holistic Development in Early Childhood “

Manthan Vidyashram aims at building awareness and bringing mindfulness to the early childhood years as they lay the foundation for a lifetime.

Early childhood is a pivotal period of child development that begins before birth through age 8. It is a sensitive timeline in the brain development.

The experiences and opportunities offered in early childhood lay the foundation for how children grow, learn, build relationships, and prepare for school.

When our nervous system enters survival mode, energy for holding depth becomes limited, and a sense of urgency takes over the bodymind, seeking quick explanations. An all or nothing perspective is automatically applied to explain the world around us.

During these moments, passing judgment with simple and quick explanations becomes almost effortless as we hastily label ourselves / others.

By passing judgment, we create a barrier to understanding and connection.

The inconvenient truth of today’s world is that it is built to activate and keep our bodies and minds in these survival states.

To really understand and build meaningful connections, be it with oneself or others, one has to learn ways to regulate their nervous system to move out of survival states.

It is outside of survival mode, and in regulated states, our body and mind have the energy and capacity to hold and fully appreciate the intricate layers of a person to build genuine connection.

Your authenticity is your super power.
