Anxiety
Worry, panic, overthinking.
A private, welcoming mental health clinic on Baner-Balewadi Road. Confidential support from qualified psychologists for adults, teens and couples, in person or online.


Looking after your mental health should be as ordinary as looking after your body, but many people in Pune still hesitate. They worry about what others will think, or whether their problem is “serious enough”. At SafeMind Studio in Balewadi, you do not need to be sure. You can just come and talk.
We are a psychology-led mental health clinic. Our psychologists offer talk-based care and work with psychiatrists when medication may help. For a view of the space and setup, see our psychology clinic page. For one-to-one support, see psychology counselling, depression and child psychologist. Learn more about us on the about page.
A mental health clinic is a place to get support for emotional and psychological well-being. Services vary between clinics. At SafeMind Studio, the focus is on assessment conversations, counselling and psychotherapy led by psychologists.
That means you can talk to someone who is trained to listen, understand your difficulties and help you work through them. It does not mean being labelled or medicated.

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!
Experienced. Compassionate. Here for You.
