Why they became a therapist.

"I've found it easy to attune to people's lived experiences and emotions and a turn of fate, introduced me to some texts in psychology. I think both of these collided to help me take on this journey. And here I am four years later, best job I've had!"

What they'd like a client's first session to be like.

"A little peak into the process, possibility or hope that this process can help them and of course, assurance that any concerns they have or might come up in the future will always be addressed."

How they make their practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx.

"I have had consistent mentors and supervisors who have dedicated their professional lives working with Queer communities. Apart from that, I keep myself updated on the latest resources and research for the community and QACP Manual is always a handy."

Areas of concern they address in counselling.

"I work with adults and couples. My practice is trauma informed, queer-affirmative and recognised neurodiversity and intersectionality. Over the past few years, I've had additional experience working with emotional abuse, chronic pain and eating disorders as well. I also work with trauma survivors, women oppressed religiously, based on caste or gender."

A Quote Anusha Resonates With.

"It's not about what's wrong with you, but what's happened to you."
