What does a Counselling Psychologist do?

A counselling psychologist helps people understand emotional, behavioural and relationship difficulties. Therapy can explore patterns, build coping skills and support practical changes in everyday life.

Areas of Support

People rarely arrive with their concerns neatly separated into categories. Anxiety may sit alongside relationship stress, low mood or academic pressure. Prachi begins by understanding what feels most difficult now and what the client would like to be different.

• Anxiety and overthinking: persistent worry, panic, social anxiety and fear.
• OCD and intrusive thoughts: obsessive thoughts, compulsions and anxiety-linked patterns.
• Depression and low mood: reduced motivation, hopelessness, emotional numbness and self-criticism.
• Relationships: communication difficulties, conflict, boundaries and recurring interpersonal patterns.
• Stress and burnout: emotional overload, pressure and difficulty switching off.
• Identity and self-esteem: self-doubt, identity exploration and confidence.
• Adolescent concerns: academic pressure, peer relationships, emotions and self-esteem.

Therapeutic Approach

Prachi uses an integrative approach. This means different evidence-based methods may be used depending on the client’s needs and goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a behavioural approach commonly used when working with OCD. Her work may also include mindfulness-based, solution-focused, compassion-focused and client-centred methods.

How Therapy May Differ by Concern

What can you expect when starting therapy?

The early sessions focus on understanding your concerns, goals and context. Therapy then becomes more tailored as patterns and priorities become clearer.

1. Share what brings you to therapy. You can discuss current concerns and relevant background at your own pace.
2. Identify priorities. You and the therapist clarify what you would most like to understand or change.
3. Choose suitable methods. Therapeutic tools are selected according to the concern and the client’s needs.
4. Review progress. Goals and strategies can be adjusted as therapy develops.

Prachi’s Qualifications and Role

Prachi holds an M.A. in Counselling Psychology and works as a Counselling Psychologist at Psych Therapy. She provides psychological counselling for clients aged 13+ and works with both adolescents and adults.

Evidence Context

Prachi works with clients from age 13 onwards and offers sessions in 2 formats: online and in person. For wider context, the World Health Organization reported in 2026 that nearly 1 in 7 people globally were living with a mental disorder in 2023. India’s National Mental Health Survey 2015–16 reported 10.6% current and 13.7% lifetime prevalence of mental morbidity. These population figures do not predict an individual client’s outcome.

Is Prachi Mangla the right therapist for you?

The right fit depends on your concerns, preferences and comfort with the therapist. Prachi may be relevant if you are seeking support for anxiety, OCD, mood, relationships, stress or adolescent concerns.

Before deciding, consider whether the therapist’s areas of work match your needs. It can also help to notice whether you feel able to communicate openly during the initial consultation or session.
