About Me

My story, clinical philosophy, and approach to creating a safe space for healing.

Manya Jain Portrait

I am a counselling psychologist who believes that therapy is not another space where you need to be perfect. It is a space where you can speak openly, understand your experiences, and work through concerns at your own pace. I focus on creating an environment where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.

I use an integrative approach, drawing from CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy, based on the client's needs. I am also trained in Trauma-informed and Queer-affirmative practices, and when relevant, I integrate Indian knowledge systems to make therapy more culturally meaningful.

I have experience working with concerns such as anxiety, mood-related difficulties, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress-management, grief, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I have worked with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds.

Together, we'll create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, process difficult emotions, and discover new pathways to healing that remain with you long after therapy has ended!
