About Me

Meet our founder:
Dr. Pooja Alex

Psychotherapist | Counsellor | Queer Affirmative | Life Coach | NLP Practitioner

I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves — our thoughts, emotions, patterns, choices, and the experiences that have shaped who we’ve become.

My own journey into psychology and counselling has been anything but linear.

Before entering this field, I spent over a decade working in India’s airline and telecommunications industries. Those years brought me into contact with people from vastly different backgrounds and circumstances, and taught me invaluable, hard-earned lessons about communication, relationships, responsibility, resilience, and what it really takes to navigate change — lessons that would go on to shape everything I learned through formal training.

In time, I found myself drawn back to something I had always been curious about — the deeper question of why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. That pull led me back to academia: a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Hons), followed by a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Mumbai University, and alongside it, counselling training at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences — building on my earlier training as a Life Coach and NLP Practitioner.

Returning to the classroom after all those years taught me something I now carry into every room I sit in with a client: growth doesn’t have an age limit — it simply asks that you stay willing to begin again.

Today, I bring all of these different experiences together in my work. I don’t see therapy, counselling, and coaching simply as ways of solving problems. I see them as opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Sometimes we need to process what has happened. Sometimes we need clarity about where we’re going. And sometimes, we simply need a space where we can stop, reflect, and hear our own thoughts without the noise of everything around us.

My role is not to give you ready-made answers, or to tell you who you should be. It is to help you understand yourself well enough to make choices that are informed, intentional, and truly your own. I walk alongside you as you explore your inner world, understand your patterns, find greater clarity, and work towards the changes that matter to you.

Because growth doesn’t always mean becoming someone new. Sometimes, it means coming home to yourself.
