Chandni Akhenia

Chandni – Experienced Psychologist in Mumbai, Maharashtra

Hello, I’m Chandni, a qualified and compassionate psychologist in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India – 400067, with a strong belief in the healing power of human connection. With a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, my journey as a mental health professional has been rooted in a deep passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and rediscover inner strength.

As a dedicated psychologist, I offer professional online and phone counselling in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, aiming to support clients across all walks of life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, burnout, or low self-esteem, I’m here to offer you a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for healing, self-discovery, and emotional growth.

About Me – Your Supportive Psychologist in Mumbai

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by human emotions and the way people process life experiences. What started as a curiosity soon became a life mission — to walk alongside individuals in their emotional journeys. Today, I am grateful to work as a licensed psychologist in Mumbai, providing mental health support to those who need it the most.

Over the years, I’ve worked with clients experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and psychological issues. My approach to therapy is deeply human — rooted in empathy, mutual respect, and a shared goal of transformation. I don’t believe in fixing people. Instead, I believe in understanding their pain, supporting their healing, and empowering them to become the best versions of themselves.

My Approach to Therapy

My therapeutic style is client-centered, integrative, and trauma-informed. As your psychologist, my role is not to judge or advise, but to listen deeply and walk beside you as you explore your thoughts, emotions, and behavioural patterns. Therapy, in my view, is not a one-size-fits-all process — it’s a deeply personal journey. That’s why every session is tailored to your unique needs and challenges.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, career confusion, relationship struggles, or parenting concerns, I offer a holistic and evidence-based approach to help you work through your difficulties. I combine tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Art Therapy, Goal-Based Therapy, and Psychological Evaluation to help you gain clarity, resilience, and self-awareness.
