Get To Know Rittika:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?

    “I have to constantly re-identify myself to myself, reactivate my own standards, my own convictions about what I am doing and why” - Nina Simon

    This quote captures why I am. I am compulsively drawn towards exploring my thoughts, ideas and questioning each and every minute thing. This has given me both the confidence and the drive to introspect my mind body and soul. It furthered my understanding of how my continual self-questioning is a trauma response and parenting style. Self-retrospection and a Bachelor’s and Mater’s in Psychology is how I arrived at this understanding. Psychology was the one subject where I felt like I fit in.

  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    I understand the importance of studying ‘oneself’ in order to effectively apply the learning in counselling settings. It helped me to connect with clients to be more empathy, mind-full and self-aware. For the past 5 years I have been working as a therapist with different social economic and cultural settings. I understand how culture affects the thought process and the mental being of the person.
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    It is my goal for clients to leave a first counseling session with a number of thoughts and emotions that will help launch a fruitful therapeutic journey. Feeling secure and at ease Having the sense of being appreciated and heard Clarity regarding the therapeutic procedure The basis for cooperation and confidence First introspection and insight
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    All the information shared in the session is strictly confidential unless the client is an immediate danger to themselves and others. The client may ask questions on what to expect during and end of therapy . The client has the right to review their work records from the therapist.
  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    In counseling, building a trusting and collaborative relationship with clients is central to creating a supportive and transformative space
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    I observed that every client is different and unique on its own and culture, religion, class, caste, gender plays major role in one’s mind and thought process. Hence catering with one therapy technique would be difficult. So my approach is eclectic.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    Cultural sensitivity, active listening, adaptability, empathy, non judgmental, paitence
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    I visit art galleries, go for session with my therapist, try to catch with my friends.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    I am trained in art based therapy and narrative therapy. I have an eclectic approach with trauma-informed and social-justice informed, which means I acknowledge trauma experiences at the individual and systemic levels (caste, class, religion, institution, gender, workplace etc) and take an affirmative stance ( feminist, anti-caste, neurodivergent & queer affirmative) in my work. I strongly believe that committing to these stances is a lifelong work of learning and unlearning.
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?
    Creating deep commitment to inclusivity, respect and ongoing education. Understanding LGBTQA+ experiences and intersectionality, using inclusive language and respective pronouns, maintaining a non judgemental, affirming approach, supporting client autonomy and safety etc.
