If I had a penny for how often this shows up in my clinical practice (tbh straight from working with children to older adults)- I’d be “pay off my student loan by tonight” kinda rich 🙃

👩🏽‍⚕️Heya, I’m Dr Banika Ahuja, an Indian clinical psychologist in the U.K.

On this page you’ll find a bit of everything cz my social media presence is ever changing 🤭 & I am just figuring it out as I go along. 🙃

At the 🤍of it, we learn, unlearn, educate, empower, witness, co-create, destigmatise unhelpful narratives, talk political, name the uncomfortable, advocate for social justice & intersectionality, amplify & centre lived experiences, we dance, explore, upskill, research, dream big, build community, & also just go with the flow.

Give me a follow if you like what you read! ☺️

This is for you if you find yourself being hesitant to try therapy. It’s absolutely normal to feel hesitant. The uncertainty of it all. The stigma. Why should we pay to just “talk” to someone. How will it help ??? …so fair. Well maybe these testimonials help to put it into words - experientially.

You see what comes across as “just talking” involves years of (& continuously ongoing) training & skill development in the art & science of psychology ❤️ & can support you connect with parts of yourself in ways that help you align with YOUR life values.

These are testimonials of the experience with therapy of some people - just like you and me - who have sometimes been victim to the stigmatised notion of mental health / they’ve had not so great experiences previously.

Everything that you read in their beautifully worded journeys, is what therapy hopefully aims to achieve in different capacities for different people. Listen to yourself - be there for yourself and take that professional support if needed.

It can truly be a valuable experience !! 🌸

Share save and comment to reach out to people who need to read this and need get that gentle nudge, that hope, to reach out ! Even if 1 person reads this, gets inspired and reaches out for therapy to someone accessible to them - you all would have made a difference 🙏🌸🌈☀️

Let’s hold systems accountable. By that I mean institutional systems (e.g healthcare institutions, legal systems, our political leaders) & also ourselves & our social & professional circles (e.g your friends, family , colleagues, boss) etc.

Also while you’re at it, pls offer your solidarity, support & a listening ear to the women in your life at this time. Many of us might need it. Check in with your doctor friends. Reach out. Connect, support, advocate.



(Justice, India, safety)
