Couples Therapy in Baner, Pune: Space to Be Heard Together

Most couples who walk into our Balewadi studio say the same thing: “We keep having the same argument.” Couples therapy gives the two of you a calm room, a neutral psychologist and time to understand what is really going on between you, instead of repeating it at home.

You do not need to be on the brink of separation. Some couples come before marriage, after a baby, after a move to Pune or after a rough patch. For a broader look at relationship support, see our relationship counselling page. If one of you would like to start alone, see psychology counselling. Learn more about the team on our about page.

  • Neutral, non-judgemental psychologists
  • For married, engaged and dating couples
  • In-person and online sessions

What Is Couples Therapy?

Couples therapy brings both partners into the room with a psychologist. The therapist does not take sides or decide who is right. Their job is to slow the conversation down, help each of you be heard and point out patterns that are hard to see from inside the relationship.

Depending on your needs, our psychologists may draw on approaches such as emotion-focused work, CBT-based communication skills and psychodynamic insight into long-standing patterns.

Does Couples Therapy Mean Our Relationship Is Failing?

No. Many couples come precisely because they care enough to work on things. Seeking help early usually gives you more to work with.

Who Is Couples Therapy For?

Couples therapy can help partners who:

  • Argue often or avoid talking altogether
  • Feel distant or like flatmates
  • Are dealing with a breach of trust
  • Disagree about family, money, in-laws or children
  • Are adjusting to marriage, parenthood or a move
  • Want to strengthen a relationship that is already fine
  • Are unsure whether to stay together

Issues Couples Bring to Therapy

These are common starting points. If yours is not listed, call us. Our relationship counselling page covers wider relationship concerns.

Communication breakdown

Conversations that turn into fights, or silence that grows.

Trust and betrayal

Rebuilding after infidelity, secrecy or broken promises.

Intimacy and closeness

Feeling disconnected emotionally or physically.

In-laws and family pressure

Managing expectations from extended family, common in joint families.

Money and lifestyle

Different habits, priorities and spending.

Work-life strain

Long hours and tiredness leaving little for the relationship.

New parenthood

Adjusting after a baby when roles shift.

Pre-marital concerns

Talking through expectations before commitment.

Deciding what next

Gaining clarity whether to continue or separate.

When Should a Couple Consider Therapy?

Waiting until things feel hopeless often makes the work harder. Consider therapy when:

  • The same argument keeps coming back
  • One or both of you feel unheard
  • You have stopped sharing things
  • Trust has been damaged
  • Resentment is building
  • A major decision is causing tension

What Happens in the First Couples Session

The first session is for understanding the two of you. Typically:

  • The psychologist explains how sessions and confidentiality work.
  • Each of you describes what brought you in and what you hope for.
  • You talk about your history together.
  • You agree on a few shared goals.
  • You decide how often to meet.

Sessions usually run 60 minutes. Sometimes the psychologist may also suggest individual time with each partner.

What If Only One of Us Wants Therapy?

It is common. You can start with individual sessions to think things through, and invite your partner when the time feels right. See psychology counselling.

How Couples Therapy Can Help

Over time, therapy can help you to:

  • Listen without getting defensive
  • Say what you need without blame
  • Spot the patterns that trigger conflict
  • Repair after arguments
  • Rebuild trust and closeness
  • Make decisions as a team

How Couples Therapy Sessions Work

A typical session follows this shape.

1

Check-In

Each of you says how the week has been.

2

Choosing a Focus

You decide what to work on, a recent argument or a deeper theme.

3

Guided Conversation

The psychologist helps you speak and listen in new ways.

4

Understanding the Pattern

You look at what happens between you, not who is to blame.

5

Practice at Home

Small exercises to try before the next session.

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.
