Curious · Relational · Direct
Every relationship in your life follows a pattern. Let's look at yours.
With yourself.With a parent, a partner, a sibling, a boss, with God.For all the people who want to relate differently, I meet you where you are, and we work towards where you want to be.

Long before you chose anyone, you learned something about relationships.
How much to ask for. When to go quiet. What happens when you say no.
You learned it from the people around you, from what was said and what wasn't, from what brought you closer and what made you pull away. Over time, it became a template. And you carried it with you, into a partnership, a family, a workplace, and most of all, your relationship with yourself.
It can look different in each of us.
Whatever armour you built, you built it for a reason. So, bring it with you into the session. We can get curious about what it protects, what it costs you, and whether you still need it.
Therapy is a relationship too. That is the point.
Here, you get to notice what happens between you and another person in real time. You can say something difficult. You can disagree. You can ask for more. You can change your mind. And you can discover that being known does not necessarily mean being rejected.
Over time, you get to practise a different template: one where you can be honest without disappearing, have needs without apologising for them, and remain connected without abandoning yourself.
We point it at every limit the world handed you, and every one you have since handed yourself.
I hold the mirror and I don't look away.
Where do we meet?
Online, by video, from anywhere you can close a door. In English or Hindi.
Who will know?
No one. What you say stays between us, and I'll explain the few legal exceptions in our first session.
Is this based on anything?
Yes. The methods I use have research behind them. Which ones I reach for depends on you.
Is it too early, or too late?
Neither. Newly hurt, years into it, or only now finding the words: we start from where you are.

Meet Anahita
I think almost everything comes back to relationships
I believe that as a clinician and as a person.
Everything that exists holds together through connection. Atoms bond, cells signal one another, and entire forests are sustained by fungal networks linking root to root beneath the soil. We are no different. So when someone tells me about their anxiety, their anger or their numbness, I listen to what is happening within them and what is happening around them.
I'm Anahita Tanwar, an RCI-registered Clinical Psychologist.

Therapy with Anahita was one of those experiences that changed the way I look at myself. What stood out to me most was that I never felt like I had to have the right words or explain myself perfectly. She listened, questioned, challenged me when I needed it, and gave me the space to arrive at my own understanding. One of the biggest things I learned was that being strong doesn't always mean doing everything alone. Sometimes strength is allowing yourself to be understood, asking for help, and letting someone sit with you through the difficult parts. I walked into therapy carrying things I didn't know how to put into words, and I left with a little more understanding of myself. I will always be grateful for the perspective, understanding, and space she gave me, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.
For the longest time, I knew I needed help with the struggles I was facing, but I kept putting it off, because even admitting to myself that I needed therapy was difficult. Since starting therapy with Anahita, I'm so glad I got past that inhibition. It's been a positive, gradual, upward journey. I've always struggled with a very rigid, black-and-white way of thinking, and she has helped me loosen that rigidity, look at situations from different perspectives, and understand myself better. She creates a space where I feel heard without feeling judged, and I've genuinely seen a difference in the way I approach my thoughts and challenges.
I have always been open to therapy, but working with Anahita truly solidified my faith in the process. She has guided me through some of the toughest phases of my life, most notably the recent loss of my father. Anahita helped me understand that moving forward isn't about how much time has passed, but about honouring your feelings every day while continuing to move ahead. She also patiently listened to me rant about my one-sided feelings every week for 10–20 minutes (sometimes more!). Beyond the emotional support, she encouraged me to take practical steps like joining a gym, something I never thought I'd stick with but have stayed consistent with. She builds both emotional resilience and real-life habits, and I'm deeply grateful for her support.
You've been an amazing therapist for me. Since October 2024, I've been consistent with my sessions because I was able to feel safe. I could never stick to therapy before; I used to run away when it came to expressing my emotions. But when I started sessions with you, something changed. I started venting, and it didn't feel like I was just talking. It felt like someone was listening to me and understanding my perspective, instead of just noting down my issues. I like how you tailor the sessions to my needs and my comfort, so that I have a space to express myself without any judgement. By the end of each session I have clarity, and I feel so much lighter.
I was in therapy with ma'am for about six to eight months, and she played a truly important role in helping me through that time, from anxiety to dealing with past traumas. She always listened patiently and offered suggestions that genuinely helped, every single time. I feel so fortunate to have met someone like her, who helped me become a better version of myself. I'll always be grateful.
I started therapy because I was feeling anxious and had begun to hate myself. I struggled to feel safe in a new country, and I was always overstimulated. I am still going through phases, but things have improved a lot. Her motivation, and especially her understanding, is amazing. I don't have to put in effort just to connect with my therapist; it's easy. It's a relief that she understands me so well.
My therapy journey was very unconventional. I didn't really look at it as a place where I could just vent all my emotions, and I had no idea how it was helping me until it did! It gave me a space where I could talk about my healing and my experiences at my own pace, and you allowed me a lot of autonomy. The best way to describe it would be "trusting the process", for both of us.
I had tried quite a few therapists before Anahita, but honestly, she's the one I ended up sticking with the longest. For the first time, I felt like I was getting the kind of support I actually needed, and more importantly, I genuinely felt understood. I found it very easy to open up to her, which was something I hadn't experienced with therapists before. She made me feel comfortable enough to be honest about what I was going through, without feeling judged. The way she helped me navigate my problems was also incredibly helpful. I feel like I've understood myself and the things I was struggling with much better because of our sessions. I'm genuinely grateful to have found her, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who makes you feel heard and understood.
