I’m Shyamolie Desai, a psychologist based in Mumbai, with over a decade of experience working in the field of mental health. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and parents through a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns.

In my practice, I offer counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can speak freely and be heard with care. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, OCD, stress and burnout, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and challenging life transitions. I also work closely with parents through parental counselling and support couples in navigating communication, conflict, and emotional disconnection in their relationships.  

My approach to therapy is thoughtful and flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. I believe that each person’s experiences and patterns are unique, and therapy should reflect that. I use an eclectic approach that is primarily client-centred and psychodynamic in nature, helping you understand your deeper emotional patterns and life experiences.

Alongside this insight-oriented work, I incorporate evidence-based techniques from CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), and behaviour therapy to offer practical tools that can help you cope, regulate emotions, and create meaningful change in your day-to-day life.  

I am affiliated with three esteemed hospitals in Mumbai, where I provide psychological support to individuals seeking professional care. In addition to in-person sessions, I also offer online consultations so that therapy can remain accessible and flexible, even with busy schedules or distance.  

My aim is to create a space where you feel comfortable enough to explore your thoughts and emotions honestly, understand yourself more deeply, and gradually move towards greater clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being. I look forward to supporting you on that journey.
