Hi, I'm Deshna Shah, a psychotherapist practicing in Pune and working with people across the world through online therapy.

​

Therapy with me isn’t about giving you a rulebook for life or pretending I have all the answers. It’s about creating a space where you can finally put the mask down. A space where you don’t have to perform “I’m fine.” Because some days you’re not fine… and that’s okay. We’ll work with the real you; confusion, chaos, hope, humour, all of it is welcome.

​

In sessions, we’ll talk, we’ll reflect, we'll rant about random things, or even sit in silence. We might also sit with some difficult emotions together. And when words feel too small, I love introducing creative elements, images, metaphors, stories - ways to express what hasn’t been said out loud yet.

​

I work a lot with young adults trying to find and understand themselves and working with that feeling of being overwhelmed by life while everyone else seems to be breezing through it (Spoiler: they’re not.)

​

This is a safe, non-judgmental, inclusive, LGBTQIA+ affirming space. You don’t have to shrink any part of yourself here.

​

Outside the therapy room, I’m a curious human who loves coffee runs, getting lost in bookstores, and discovering tiny joys, like the perfect playlist for a rainy evening. I laugh loudly, think deeply, and yes, I overthink what snack to order almost every single time.

​

Here’s what I believe: You’re not “too much,” or “too late,” or “too broken.” You’re a work in progress, like all of us. And you deserve support while you figure things out.
