About Sanwad Counseling
You deserve a space where your story is honored, your identity affirmed, and your healing journey supported.
At Sanwad Counseling, we believe that therapy is a collaborative process rooted in trust, empathy, and respect. Our practice is grounded in trauma-informed, queer-affirmative, and culturally sensitive approaches, ensuring that every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
We understand that mental health challenges don't exist in a vacuum they're influenced by personal experiences, societal structures, and cultural contexts. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, or trauma, we're here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
Meet the counselor
Hello I’m Meghana, a trained counselor with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care, a rights-based perspective, and queer-affirmative principles — shaped by my work both in private practice and in the development sector.
My Experience
I’ve worked extensively with marginalized communities and trauma survivors. My background in the development sector has helped me understand how personal and systemic challenges often intersect — and this insight deeply informs my work with clients.
Over the years, I’ve:
-
Offered therapy to individuals navigating anxiety, stress, depression, identity concerns, and trauma
-
Supervised mental health professionals for over three years
-
Conducted trainings for aspiring counselors
-
Managed a mental health helpline, overseeing operations, quality, and team care
My Training
-
Postgraduate degree in Counseling Psychology
-
Trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) by EMDRIA
-
Certification of Attainment in Supervision by IAPS
How I Work
I offer therapy in English, Hindi, and Marathi.
My approach is relational, reflective, and body-aware. I aim to create an affirming, safe space where you can move at your own pace — whether you're processing, rebuilding, or simply exploring.
Our values
Safety
We understand that beginning therapy takes courage. Our priority is to create a space where you feel emotionally safe, respected, and accepted — exactly as you are.
Affirmation
Your identity, lived experiences, and personal truths matter. We work through a trauma-informed and queer-affirmative lens, ensuring you feel seen and supported throughout your therapeutic journey.
Collaboration
Therapy is not something done to you — it's something we do together. We’ll move at your pace, with care and curiosity, building a space where you feel in charge of your process.
