Manali Gogri
Manali (she/her) is a passionate psychologist driven by a profound curiosity about the intricacies of the human mind. She holds a postgraduate degree in Lifespan Counselling from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, where she developed a thorough understanding of assessment tools, developmental theories, and therapeutic techniques. She has extensive experience working with a diverse clientele across various age groups, including children, adults, and the geriatric community addressing a wide range of concerns. Her commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that she remains up-to-date with the latest evidence-based techniques, enhancing her ability to provide effective and empathetic care to her clients.
Manali embodies a therapeutic approach rooted in strength-based and postmodern frameworks, specializing in narrative and solution-focused therapies. She views therapy as a dynamic, collaborative process that values clients' agency in reshaping their stories. Her practice integrates the concept of conscientization, acknowledging societal and structural influences on individual lives, and empowering clients to navigate and transcend these limitations. She believes in the transformative potential of the therapeutic relationship, aiming to create a space where clients feel acknowledged and understood, and can explore unspoken and implicit experiences. Recognizing that no single approach suits all clients, Manali adopts an eclectic approach, integrating various therapeutic modalities tailored to each client's evolving needs. Additionally, she prioritizes queer-affirmative and trauma-informed perspectives, fostering a safe and empowering environment that validates diverse identities and experiences, enhancing clients' resilience and agency.
When not delving into psychotherapy and the intricacies of the human mind, Manali enjoys immersing herself in fiction, poetry, and leisurely walks to recharge and find inspiration.​​​​​​
