Pausing is Presence
About Raha
Sometimes, life can be a lot to handle alone. Raha was built from our lived experience that mental health often improves when we slow down and create space for our entire self: the messy, the quiet, the unsure.
We are a mental health organisation focused on fostering open conversations about mental health. We provide quality trauma-informed, neurodiversity and queer-affirming therapy services (online) from Mumbai.
Raha is named after what we believe lies at the heart of psychotherapy: presence. Raha (verb) – ‘to be/remain’ mirrors the steady and attuned therapeutic presence we hold for our clients.
Our Values
Care
An accessible onboarding process that helps clients start therapy at a pace and in a space that works for them
Competence
A commitment to regular supervision, personal therapy, and training to offer ethical, high-quality care
About the Therapist
Simran Brijwani (she/her)
M.A. Applied Psychology (Clinical)
Founder and Psychotherapist
I believe that change becomes possible when we feel safe enough to be vulnerable and are met with curiosity, compassion and care.
My practice is relational and process-oriented, i.e. I support clients in recognising patterns, building on their strengths, and developing mind-body awareness to ignite change. I integrate attachment theory, internal family systems, narrative, solution-focused and mindfulness-based practices, depending on the client's needs.
I primarily support individuals aged 16+ years navigate anxiety, life transitions, grief, childhood trauma, self-esteem, relationships, and neurodivergence.
