Making Contact - Free
Our first contact is a 20 minute chat where we meet and assess if we can work together. It is a quick introduction to who I am and what I do, as well as who you are and what your needs are? If we 'click' and we believe I can support you in your needs, then we can schedule our first session. If not, I can suggest who and what sort of service you might want to look for instead of me.
Individual Counselling
Individual sessions run for an hour. We get to know each other, do a little psychological education and set a contract of where we will go together and how we will measure our success. When done we can re-contract for further work or end when you have achieved what you set out to do.
Couples Sessions
Couples sessions run for an hour and a half (unless we have contracted otherwise). You know that thin invisible line that exists between you and your partner? My contract is between that invisible line and me. It is not weighted in favour of either individual.
Family Sessions
Family sessions also run for an hour and a half. There will be individual intake sessions to understand your context, however we are all working to wards the same (contracted) goal.
My Approach
Our work together
Our work together is founded on the Rogerian principle of unconditional positive regard. I aim to bring curiosity, openness, and genuine support to every session. You will not find me being overly sweet or pandering, as that is not my style, but you will find me to be your biggest cheerleader when it feels congruent.
​
You and me
Counselling is a co-created process. Just as no two clients or their stories are alike, no two sessions are the same. I do fifty percent of the work, and you do the other fifty percent. I am not here to dispense advice. My training is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA), which forms the foundation of our work, along with elements of psychological education. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), somatic practices, and creative interventions when they are appropriate and aligned with your needs.
​​
Co-creating a way forward
I am continually learning and expanding my counselling toolkit. There is no single approach that fits everyone, and the shape of our sessions will emerge naturally as we begin. It is important that you share what is working for you and what is not, so that together we can refine the nuances of what you need from our sessions. This ongoing dialogue is central to our contracting process.

"I wanted to tell you, I started my own cloud kitchen this week! Still in the process of setting it up fully but am 80% there. I'll send you pictures. I really, really wanted to tell you 'cause honestly, you've played such a big role in helping get here.

I am so grateful for you Maneesha and I adore you!"

"I've had Maneesha as my therapist for four years, and she has been a strong yet wonderfully gentle presence throughout my journey. She creates a safe space where growth feels possible every single day, even between sessions. Her tools and techniques are steeped in years of study, and it's inspiring to watch her continue to upskill and evolve in her practice. With her radical cantor and deep expertise. I've been able to do meaningful inner work and see real transformation. She's truly my person - and I can't recommend her highly enough."

They say the difference between billionaires and everyone else is self-work.
Now I understand why.
I started therapy in crisis, coming out of a physically abusive relationship.
But working with Maneesha didn’t just help me cope. It rewired how I live. I saw how much of my life I’d spent on autopilot: being strong, helping others, and sacrificing myself in the process.
Therapy taught me one core truth:
You can’t truly help others if you don’t take care of yourself first.
Maneesha never rescued me or took away the discomfort.
She held boundaries and let me learn from the process, and that’s what created real change.
In India, therapy is seen as damage control. In reality, when you do the work, you end up with less drama, fewer problems, and far better outcomes.
That’s not weakness.
That’s self-work ... it compounds and I’ve lived and experienced it first hand.
