Hi, I’m Aparajita Raj, a trainee psychologist with a Master’s in Psychology and over two years of experience in the mental health field.
My work has brought me close to people navigating grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-worth, and the quiet, difficult moments where they simply needed someone to sit with them, without trying to fix, rush, or rescue. I offer a space that allows that kind of slowness and safety.
Coming from a small city and a community where access to therapy isn’t always easy, I carry a lived understanding of how caste, culture, and language shape someone’s emotional world. That awareness deeply informs how I hold space, making therapy feel grounded, personal, and never one-size-fits-all.
I work from a solution-focused and trauma-informed lens, often drawing on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and narrative reframing. Together, we pause to notice thought patterns, untangle emotional loops, and ask, with care — what can be softened or reimagined.
I am also a queer-affirmative mental health professional and prioritise emotional, cultural, and psychological safety. I don’t promise perfect answers, but I do promise presence, clarity, and non-judgment.
That has stayed with me. Because to me, that’s what therapy really is: a mix of presence, perspective, and quiet hope.
