You may be
functioning well
on the outside...
...yet internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. You're not alone. This space is for you.
- Anxiety that doesn't fully resolve despite your efforts
- Relationship patterns that feel familiar but painful
- Emotional triggers that feel disproportionate
- A history of trauma that continues to affect present life
- Addiction cycles or self-sabotaging behaviours
- A quiet sense of disconnection from yourself
"Healing isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about making space for what's been hidden, silenced, or hurting — to finally come into the light."— Chaithanya Vannarath
I'm Chaithanya
Vannarath
Psychotherapist, mother, and lifelong learner. My path to this work has been shaped not only by formal education, but by years of personal therapy, supervision, and deep inner reflection.
My journey into therapy began after years in law and the corporate world — completing both a law degree and an MBA, and working in high-responsibility environments. I have lived that driven life myself, and I understand the inner worlds of people who are ambitious, analytical, and highly capable, yet feel emotionally stretched, stuck, or exhausted underneath.
A large part of my work today is with NRI clients — individuals and families across 7+ countries including the UK, US, Ireland, Denmark, UAE, and Australia. Living across cultures brings its own challenges: identity shifts, distance from family, pressure to perform, and a quiet sense of dislocation that often goes unseen. I bring sensitivity to these layers and a grounded understanding of what it means to hold multiple worlds at once.
I work primarily with adults facing anxiety, trauma, addiction, identity concerns, relationship difficulties, and personality-related struggles. My approach is relational and integrative — we explore the patterns shaping your inner world, not just the presenting symptoms. I am also a practicing TA (Transactional Analysis) psychotherapist working toward my CTA certification.
I offer sessions in English and Malayalam (and understand Hindi and Kannada), in-person in Bangalore and online globally.
Outside of sessions, I unwind with crochet — there's something about the rhythm of it, the slow making of something with your hands, that keeps me grounded. I also enjoy baking, photography, and time with old friends from school and college.
How I can
support you
Individual Therapy
A dedicated space for you to explore what's happening beneath the surface — anxiety, trauma, identity, emotional reactivity, depression, and more — at your own pace.
Couple Therapy
For partners wanting to deepen connection, improve communication, navigate conflict, or repair ruptures. Compassionate, non-blaming, and grounded in relational understanding.
Family Therapy
Helping family members communicate better, resolve conflict, and strengthen their relationships — navigating life changes, supporting a member's recovery, or creating healthier ways of relating.
Holding
multiple worlds
at once
Living and working across cultures brings its own particular challenges — identity shifts, distance from family, the pressure to perform, and a quiet sense of dislocation that often goes unseen by those around you.
A large part of my practice is with NRI clients across 7+ countries. I bring sensitivity to these layers and a lived understanding of what it means to navigate between worlds — professionally, culturally, and emotionally.
Client-led,
collaborative,
yours
When you come into a session, we may start with the bigger goals you hold — feeling lighter, finding clarity, or working through something difficult. But I also stay close to how you're doing in the present moment.
Some sessions may be about releasing what's been building up; others about gently exploring patterns or emotions that are harder to name. I work collaboratively, staying patient with your pace while reflecting back what may go unseen.
From time to time, we pause to notice what has shifted and what still needs care — so therapy always stays meaningful for you. This space is yours to bring your whole self and be met with care and curiosity.
Therapy is not about
fixing you —
it's about meeting you, fully
My integrative approach combines several evidence-based frameworks, chosen and woven together based on what each person needs — not a formula, but a genuine relational encounter.
Transactional Analysis
Exploring roles, ego states, and patterns shaped by early life experiences
Mentalization-Based
Enhancing awareness of your own and others' thoughts and emotional states
Motivational Interviewing
Exploring ambivalence compassionately and supporting meaningful change
Trauma-Informed
Respecting your nervous system's pace; always working within a sense of safety
Gestalt & Experiential
Increasing present-moment awareness and integration of mind and body
What my
clients say
I had initially sought Chaithanya's help for my teenage children, but she intuitively recognised that I, as a single mother, needed support too. Over a year, she gave me a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt truly heard. Her empathy and guidance helped me grow as a person and as a parent.
I came to Chaithanya disempowered and hopeless after disappointing experiences with other therapists. Her safe presence, gentle guidance, and focus on feelings helped me discover self-empathy, process childhood experiences, and build resilience. I replaced anger with empathy and felt truly empowered for the first time.
In two years of therapy with Chaithanya, I've built self-respect, healthier boundaries, and resilience. Unlike quick-fix approaches I'd experienced before, she patiently listened and helped me create long-term tools for growth. Her insight has been truly transformative.
