About Aanchal

Aanchal is a skilled and culturally sensitive counsellor who is deeply passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges of their emotional and relational lives. With extensive experience in relationship counselling, she works with clients facing trust issues, communication breakdowns, and cultural or personal differences. Aanchal’s approach is grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and supported as they explore their inner worlds and relationships. Her goal is not just to help clients overcome obstacles but to empower them with the tools and insights they need to foster meaningful, lasting change.

Aanchal is particularly adept at helping couples rebuild trust and connection, even after profound challenges. She understands that relationships often carry layers of complexity shaped by past experiences, individual needs, and external pressures. By helping couples identify unhelpful patterns and develop healthier ways of communicating, Aanchal enables them to cultivate deeper understanding and intimacy. Her approach combines thoughtful exploration with actionable strategies, ensuring her clients leave sessions with clarity and tools they can apply in their everyday lives.

A unique cornerstone of Aanchal’s practice is her focus on radical self-compassion. She believes that transformative growth begins with the ability to approach oneself with kindness and curiosity rather than criticism. Whether working with individuals or couples, Aanchal helps her clients silence their inner critic, navigate guilt or shame, and embrace their vulnerabilities as part of their humanity. This self-compassionate lens allows clients to rebuild trust with themselves, which in turn strengthens their capacity to connect with others authentically.

Clients often describe Aanchal as insightful, empathetic, and deeply grounded. She is dedicated at making complex emotional experiences feel more manageable and for guiding clients toward moments of clarity that spark real change. By balancing warmth with honest reflection, she ensures her clients feel supported while being encouraged to grow. Aanchal is dedicated to helping individuals and couples not only resolve their current challenges but also build the skills and resilience to thrive in the future, both within their relationships and within themselves.

More about Aanchal

What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

The most satisfying part of my work is seeing clients have those moments of clarity where things start to make sense for them—when they connect the dots between their inner world and the challenges they’re facing. I also find it deeply fulfilling to help people navigate complexities shaped by their cultural background, values, and lived experiences. It’s not about providing answers but creating a space where they can explore, reflect, and grow in ways that feel authentic and meaningful to them. Being part of that process is incredibly rewarding.

What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

I once worked with a couple who were going through a very rough patch, primarily struggling with trust after a betrayal. They were both deeply hurt and had fallen into a cycle of blame, defensiveness, and avoidance, making it hard for them to move forward.

In our sessions, we worked on creating a safe space where they could express their feelings honestly without fear of judgment or escalation. I guided them in understanding their emotional triggers and how past experiences shaped their reactions. Through intentional exercises, like active listening and sharing vulnerabilities, they began to see each other in a new light, not as adversaries but as partners wanting to rebuild.

We also explored their shared values and long-term goals, which helped them shift their focus from the pain of the past to the possibilities of the future. Over time, trust wasn’t just rebuilt, it deepened, as they learned how to communicate more effectively and meet each other’s needs in ways they hadn’t before.
