M.A. Clinical Psychology

About Me

Hello. I'm an Indian psychotherapist and research consultant based out of Gurugram, India, and founder of Panah Counselling Collective.

​

My approach to therapy is eclectic, queer-affirmative, and trauma-informed, drawing on humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, attachment-based and relational models and theories.

 

I use a social justice lens, and my varied lived, field & research experiences in Delhi, Kerala, and New York shape me and my therapeutic and research approach.

​

Whether on working together in therapy, or for research or workshops collaborations, I'd be interested to hear from you. You can reach me at kankan.tanvi@gmail.com

My research areas include community mental health, cultural influences on mental health, and psychotherapy and attachment. In the past I have collaborated with US and Latin America-based academic researchers and consulted for local Indian organizations working on the ground.

I'm a member of Panah Counselling Collective, a group of independent therapists sharing values, resources, and sometimes office space. We work online and in person. 

I facilitate workshops for schools, corporates and colleges and and participate in psychoeducational podcasts. Here are some written resources related to mental health.
