Couple Psychotherapists in Baner, Pune

Some relationship problems are not really about the dishes, the phone or the in-laws. They come from older patterns: how each of you learned to handle closeness, conflict and being let down. Couple psychotherapy goes beneath the surface argument to understand these patterns together.

At SafeMind Studio in Balewadi, our psychologists offer couple psychotherapy for partners who want more than a quick fix. If you want shorter-term, practical support, see couples therapy or relationship counselling. If one of you would like to begin alone, read about psychology counselling or our therapist team.

  • Psychotherapy for couples
  • Focus on deeper, recurring patterns
  • In-person and online

What Is Couple Psychotherapy?

Couple psychotherapy is a deeper, usually longer form of couples therapy. Instead of only working on skills for the present, it explores what sits beneath your reactions: early experiences, family patterns, how you attach to others and what each of you fears in the relationship.

Our psychologists integrate approaches such as psychodynamic and attachment-informed thinking, emotion-focused work and CBT, depending on what the two of you need.

Which One Do We Need?

You do not have to decide before you call. At the first session, the psychologist will help you choose a starting point. Read more about couples therapy.

Couple Psychotherapy vs Couples Counselling

In broad terms:

  • Couples counselling often focuses on a specific issue or on practical communication skills and tends to be shorter.
  • Couple psychotherapy explores patterns and their roots and may continue for longer.
  • Many couples move between the two as their needs change.

When Couples Choose Psychotherapy

These themes often call for deeper work.

The same fight, different topic

Arguments that keep repeating no matter what the subject.

Emotional distance

Feeling alone while together.

Trust and betrayal

Working through hurt after infidelity or secrecy.

Family-of-origin patterns

Repeating dynamics from childhood in your relationship.

Fear of closeness or abandonment

Pulling away or clinging when things get tense.

Life transitions

Marriage, parenthood, loss, career change.

Differences in how you cope

One withdraws, the other pursues.

Past experiences affecting the present

Old hurts that show up in current moments.

Wanting deeper understanding

Even when things are fine on the surface.

When Should You Consider Couple Psychotherapy?

It may be worth considering when:

  • Short-term fixes have not lasted
  • You sense something deeper is going on
  • Old wounds keep resurfacing
  • You want to understand yourself and your partner better
  • You are ready to commit time to the process

Our article on why your inner child needs attention explores how earlier experiences shape adult relationships.

What to Expect in Couple Psychotherapy

Early sessions focus on understanding you both. Over time, you can expect to:

  • Share your individual and joint histories
  • Notice the cycle you get stuck in
  • Explore the emotions beneath conflict
  • Practise new ways of responding
  • Review progress together

Sessions are usually 60 minutes.

Is It Hard to Talk About the Past in Front of My Partner?

It can be. You set the pace. Your psychologist will not push you into anything you are not ready for, and individual sessions can be added if helpful.

How Long Does It Take?

Psychotherapy is gradual. Many couples meet weekly or fortnightly for several months, and some continue longer. Your psychologist will review the pace and goals with you regularly. There are no guaranteed timelines or outcomes.

How Couple Psychotherapy Sessions Work

Each session is shaped by what comes up.

1

Settling In

A check-in on how things have been.

2

Exploring

The psychologist helps you look at what happened and what each of you felt.

3

Connecting the Dots

Linking present reactions to earlier patterns.

4

Trying New Responses

Practising different ways of speaking and listening.

5

Reflecting

Closing with what you take away.

Dr. Dhanashree Kadam

Founder | SafeMind Psychology Counselling Clinic | B.H.M.S | Certified Psychology Counsellor (NHCA) | Certified in CBT and Neuroplasticity | MBA in Healthcare & Hospital Management

My journey towards SafeMind has been a process of self-development. As an empath, I have always connected strongly to others and their struggles, caring to help them navigate through their difficulties. Yet, before being able to reach out to others, I needed to learn to listen to myself, set my boundaries, understand and nurture my needs. Only then have I been able to dedicate myself fully to serving others. With over ten years of experience, I have logged hundreds of hours listening to people’s struggles while endeavouring to create a judgement-free space for people to express their deepest fears and darkest thoughts. Over these 10 years, I have worked with children, teens, and adults, addressing various complex issues, including relationship and parent-child problems, ADHD, depression, emotional difficulties, and a sense of feeling stuck in one’s life. Drawing from my vast experience and employing a number of therapeutic approaches, such as CBT, DBT, EFT, NLP, and knowledge of neuroplasticity, I offer my clients a truly integrated approach to solving their problems. I believe that being in therapy should be a comfortable, safe experience, where the client is an active participant in the process rather than being told what to do by the therapist. Today, I am humbled and truly grateful for the ability to help people all around the globe, both locally, at SafeMind in Balewadi-Baner, Pune, and internationally, via online therapy. My mission with SafeMind is to help you return to yourself, to your true self!

Dhanashree is an extremely good counsellor. She helped us in very complicated issues. We wasted time previously in business oriented counsellors who could barely help us. Finally we met Dhanashree and slowly our issues resolved. Safemind don't have intentions for business, they really help you and they're very much capable.

I’ve been coming to Safe Mind for therapy and counselling, and my experience with them has been incredible so far. It’s been about two months since I started working with them, and I can genuinely see a difference in myself already. Dhanashree has been a wonderful therapist and the right person for me at this stage of my journey. I’m able to work on parts of myself that I’ve wanted to address for a long time, and I can see the changes not just in my healing, but also in my energy, the way I think, and the way I approach and structure things in my life🌸🙏🏻 I highly recommend Safe Mind and their team to anyone looking for a safe and supportive space to work on themselves.

The first session I had with Dr. Sharayu, I walked in not really knowing what I was feeling or how to make sense of everything going on in my mind. With every session, the space she creates feels more comfortable, safe, and reassuring, making it easier to open up and be completely myself. Slowly, I’ve learned to understand my thoughts better, look at situations with more clarity, and find healthier ways to deal with things. No matter what I walk in with, I always leave with a calmer mind, a happier face, and a sense of clarity, truly grateful for her patience, warmth, and guidance throughout this journey. I would highly recommend SafeMind Psychology Counselling and Wellness Studio to anyone looking for therapy that feels safe, non-judgmental, and truly helps you understand yourself and navigate life better.

We conducted a healing and movement session at SafeMind Studio. The Studio is equipped with amenities. Feels very open. And we loved the energy inside. The staff is cordial and helpful. If you are looking for a space amidst the city for conducting sessions, I would definitely recommend SafeMind Studio.

I have been working with rutuja to navigate complex sociopersonal and interpersonal stress and difficulties in my day to day across my business family and progressive growth where i felt i have stalled and hit rock bottom i started to feel better after few sessions with rutuja and had an improvement in my mood and outlook on life. rutuja has many feathers on her cap but i would highlight that she always looked at me like a human first and client later. This empathetic approach is lacking in today's clinical psychologist. She always listens actively which a lot of members of the psychological strata fake to do... such human and humanity based intervention is exactly what i needed to recover and rebound towards working again on my life goals. I highly recommend rutuja for such reasons and her approaches towards my recovery which cannot be shared in words. Thank you so much rutuja

I had a really positive experience at SafeMind Psychology Counselling & Wellness Studio. From the beginning, I felt comfortable and supported, which made it easier for me to talk openly about my concerns. I would especially like to thank Rutuja for her understanding, patience, and guidance. She listened to my concerns carefully and helped me find better ways to deal with the problems I was facing. I truly appreciate her support and the effort she put into helping me. I’m very thankful for the experience and would recommend SafeMind to anyone looking for professional and supportive counselling.
