About me

Janhavi Poddar is a trauma-informed psychologist who believes that healing begins by honouring each person's unique story. She views growth as an evolving process, creating a compassionate and collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences with curiosity, safety, and self-acceptance.

Her therapeutic approach integrates Narrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), helping clients understand the experiences that have shaped them while fostering resilience and creating new possibilities for growth. She works alongside clients to gently explore emotional challenges, reconnect with their strengths, and move towards meaningful, lasting change.

Janhavi is committed to providing a warm, non-judgmental environment where individuals feel heard, empowered, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

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.
