About me
Hi! My name is Isha and I am so excited to work with you. I am a psychotherapist based in Bangalore offering psychotherapy to individuals 16+. I strongly believe in the power of human connections and relationships. Through consistent meaningful work with one therapist, an individual can really blossom and grow thanks to the encouragement, hope, and belief the therapist has in the client, as well as proven interventions to heal from psychopathology. Humans were never supposed to be doing life alone, and the therapeutic relationship plays a role in modeling how other relationships can go. I use an integrative approach.
I draw upon psychoanalysis, identifying the root cause of your concerns, whether that's childhood experiences or related to relationships and events in the recent past. Mental health affects not only the mind, but also the body, and luse somatic (body-based) approaches in conjunction with talk therapy to help heal issues. In terms of talk therapy, l utilize an IFS approach, which consists of inner child healing and integrating fragmented parts in the individual. I also use mindfulness and grounding techniques drawing from yoga philosophy, DBT, and ACT. I offer spiritual counseling to individuals new to spirituality and questioning where their beliefs lie. I also work with expats and NRis, as someone who was an NRI myself living in the US for nine years.

Therapy Bookings: Terms & Conditions
Sessions coordinated directly with the therapist
Once you book a session with a therapist via SoulUp, we put you in touch with them via WhatsApp allowing you and your therapist to coordinate on a mutually convenient time.
Cancellation policy
You can reschedule or cancel sessions or switch therapists upto 24 hours of the slotted time, post which no rescheduling or refund of sessions is possible.
Late to session policy
If you are over 15 mins late to the session, then the session will be held cancelled and no refund will be available. This has been done to ensure a 'full' session for you as well as to ensure enough gap-time for the therapist before their next session.
Cancelling part of a bundled session
For sessions bought as bundle of 4 at discounted price - if after n sessions, either the therapist or the client wants to discontinue sessions, we initiate refund of remaining sessions. In this case, the actual non-discounted price is deducted for each completed session (instead of the pro-rata amount per session) from the price of the bundled offering and the refund is issued.
