Vaibhav Saxena · Psychologist
Therapy for people who want perspective, not advice. Online across India and internationally, and in person in Delhi NCR.
You don’t need a crisis to start. You need a place where you can say it out loud.
I’m Vaibhav. I work with people who are tired of coping quietly. I won’t hand you advice or sugarcoat what I see. I’ll help you understand what is going on, and what you want to do about it.
Honestly, Vaibhav
Why people come
Most people who come to me are not broken. They are tired. Tired of overthinking, of holding it together, of being told to “just stay positive”. They want to move from surviving to actually living.
What I help with
You don’t need a diagnosis or the right words. These are the things people bring most often, in the way they usually describe them.
See how we can work togetherThese are common ways anxiety and stress are felt in the body, and the feeling is real even when the cause is emotional. If a symptom is new, severe, or you’re not sure what is behind it, please see a doctor first. Therapy works alongside medical care, never in place of it.
How I work
I’m present in the conversation rather than driven by technique. The approach is shaped around you; you are never made to fit the approach. Underneath that, I draw on six ways of working, and we use what helps.
Drawing, music, movement and writing, for the things that are hard to say in words.
Values, purpose and identity. Who you are beyond the symptoms.
Making room for what you feel, so it can be understood instead of pushed down.
Practical tools for anxious thoughts, big emotions and the moments that usually go wrong.
Noticing what your body is already telling you, and learning to slow it down.
Changing how you speak to yourself, which changes more than you would expect.
What a first session looks like
Not knowing what happens is what stops most people. So here is exactly what happens.
Use the form on this site to reach out to me on WhatsApp or by email. You can tell me as much or as little as you’re comfortable sharing about what’s bringing you to therapy. This just gives me a basic idea of what you’re looking for before we take the next step.
We’ll exchange a few messages to figure out whether I can help with what you’re looking for. We’ll also go over my fees and your availability, and find a time for your first session. If I feel that someone else may be better suited to your needs, I’ll let you know and help point you in the right direction.
All my sessions are 50 minutes long, online or in person in Delhi NCR. In your first session, there are no tests, no complicated exercises, and no formalities. You talk, I listen, and I ask questions. Together, we start making sense of what’s been going on and begin figuring out what you want from therapy.
From there, we’ll work together to decide what to focus on and how often it makes sense for us to meet. Most people start with one session a week, but there’s no fixed commitment. You’re free to pause or stop therapy whenever you feel it’s right for you.

I work online with an international, English-speaking clientele. We find an hour that suits both our clocks, and I check what applies where you live before we start.
A note from me
A lot of us grew up having our feelings dismissed.
So we learnt to keep quiet, to call it “just stress”, to believe therapy is only for people who are weak or seriously unwell. It isn’t. It is a room where you are taken seriously.
I’m a psychologist with a master’s in clinical psychology, trained in expressive arts therapy and clinical hypnotherapy. I see clients in private clinics across Delhi NCR, and online across India and internationally. I’m real in my sessions. I take time to explain what is happening in your mind, and I let trust build at its own pace.
