Komal Kaira

Komal Kaira is a strengths-based psychologist and psychotherapist who works through an eclectic lens, integrating multiple approaches to best meet her clients' unique needs. Her therapeutic orientation is informed by queer-affirmative, trauma-focused, attachment-based, and relational frameworks, all of which guide her toward fostering holistic well-being and emotional safety in the therapeutic space. At the heart of her clinical work lie the values of non-violence, equity, inclusion, and social justice—principles that shape her approach and deepen her therapeutic alliances.

Komal brings rich and diverse experience from working across hospital, school, and private practice settings, which allows her to adapt her work across varying levels of psychological complexity. She has developed particular expertise in the areas of trauma and stress-related disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, as well as personality disorders. Her current practice includes adults ranging in age from 18 to 75 years, many of whom seek her support in navigating emotional pain, life transitions, identity concerns, and relationship dynamics.

She holds a Master’s degree and an M.Phil in Clinical and Counselling Practice from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai, where her training emphasized psycho-diagnostics and psychotherapy in both individual and group contexts. Komal’s work is grounded in deep listening, collaborative meaning-making, and a commitment to psychological healing that honors the lived experiences of each individual.
