Our Story

From a Single Therapy Room to a Mental-Health Ecosystem Serving Indians Worldwide

Founded by counselling psychologist Barkha Nayak in 2014, Manahsparsh began as a small in-person therapy practice with a simple purpose: to make mental health more understandable, accessible and actionable.

Over the years, it grew into a broader mental-health practice offering therapy, ADHD support, education, workshops and professional training.

Today, after serving 2500+ clients, Manahsparsh is evolving into a focused ecosystem for Anxiety and ADHD support for working adults, delivered primarily online so people can access high-quality care wherever they are.

What makes Manahsparsh different from other mental-health practices?

Manahsparsh is built around a simple goal: help you understand your mind, develop the skills to work with it, and create sustainable change in real life.

1. Specialised Expertise: We focus on Anxiety , ADHD and the needs of working professionals. Our therapists are at least Master's-trained, internationally trained where applicable, and carefully selected for their expertise, commitment and ability to provide high-quality care.

2. Experience You Can Rely On: 25+ years of combined experience, 2,500+ clients and 10,000+ sessions , with 12+ years of Manahsparsh and consistently strong public reviews.

3. A Structured Approach: Our RE-CBT approach brings together CBT and REBT in a structured, collaborative process—with clear goals, practical strategies, regular review and a focus on meaningful improvement.

4. Evidence-Based Practice: Our work is grounded in established psychological approaches, research and a deep understanding of human psychology and neuroscience. We use tried, tested and practical strategies , rather than one-size-fits-all advice.

5. Personalised & Flexible: There is no single right way to change. We adapt therapy to your needs, goals, circumstances and pace—meeting you where you are and helping you move towards where you want to be.

6. Insight + Sustainable Change: We don't stop at understanding why you feel or behave a certain way. We help you understand your patterns, learn what to do differently, apply those skills in real life, review what works and build the ability to sustain change.

7. An Ecosystem, Not Just a Session: From screening and understanding → therapy and skill-building → practice and implementation → review and ongoing support , our services are designed to support the wider journey rather than treating each session as an isolated intervention.

8. A Mission to Raise the Standard: Manahsparsh has continually evolved with one aim: to make high-quality psychological support more practical, accessible and effective for Indians worldwide .

Our philosophy:
Understand → Learn → Apply → Improve → Sustain

Our goal is not simply to help you feel better today. It is to help you understand your mind, take greater control of your life, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

KNOW ABOUT OUR APPROACH TO THERAPY

What are Manahsparsh's professional and clinical boundaries?

Good mental-health care requires knowing what we can help with, what we cannot, and when another form of care is more appropriate.

At Manahsparsh:

  • We work within our professional competence. We do not take on concerns that fall outside our therapists' training, experience or scope of practice.
  • We do not diagnose or prescribe medication. We are not psychiatrists or medical doctors and therefore do not prescribe medication or provide medical advice.
  • We do not provide crisis or emergency care. Severe psychiatric conditions, acute risk or situations requiring intensive psychiatric or inpatient care may need a different level of support.
  • Confidentiality is fundamental, but not absolute. Information is kept private except where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law.
  • Therapy is voluntary and collaborative. We work with informed consent and require active participation from the client.
  • We maintain appropriate professional boundaries. We do not provide therapy to people with whom we have close personal relationships or other conflicts of interest.
  • We aim to treat clients fairly and consistently. We do not offer preferential treatment, special access or individual discounts that compromise fairness.
  • We are transparent about fit. If another professional, approach or level of care would better meet your needs, we will tell you.
  • We respect every client. Empathy, non-judgement, honesty, respect and transparency are part of how we work.

The goal is not to work with everyone. It is to make sure that the people we work with receive care that is appropriate, ethical and genuinely useful.

Does Manahsparsh offer in-person therapy, and why are most services online?

No. Manahsparsh currently offers 1:1 therapy online rather than in person.

Online therapy allows us to provide specialised support to working professionals in India and worldwide without requiring them to travel to a clinic.

It offers:

  • Accessibility: Get support regardless of where you live.
  • Flexibility: Easier to fit therapy around work and other commitments.
  • Travel-friendly care: Continue sessions when travelling or relocating, subject to applicable professional and legal requirements.
  • Continuity: Your therapeutic work doesn't have to stop because your location changes.
  • Privacy and convenience: Attend from a suitable private space without the time and effort of travelling to appointments.

For our predominantly working-professional clientele, online therapy allows us to make specialised psychological support more practical and accessible without making it less structured or personalised.

How do I know if Manahsparsh is right for me?

Manahsparsh is designed primarily for adults aged 26–45, especially working professionals , looking for structured, practical support for Anxiety, ADHD or related concerns.

CHOOSE MANAHSPARSH IF:

  • You're an adult working professional, typically between 26 and 45.
  • Anxiety is affecting your life—whether through overthinking, worry, avoidance, self-doubt, relationships, work or other everyday challenges.
  • You think you may have ADHD or have already been diagnosed with ADHD and want to understand and manage how it affects your life.
  • You're ready to prioritise yourself. Therapy works best when you can consistently set aside time for it—typically one hour each week—and actively participate in the process.
  • You want structured, practical therapy that helps you understand your patterns and develop skills to create meaningful, sustainable change.
  • You're open to our RE-CBT approach and online therapy format.

WE MAY NOT BE A GOOD FIT IF:

  • You're under 18 or primarily looking for student-focused support.
  • You don't feel RE-CBT is the right therapeutic approach for you.
  • You don't feel online therapy is suitable for you.
  • You need crisis, emergency or intensive psychiatric care beyond what we provide.

Still unsure?

You don't have to decide whether therapy will work for you before you've experienced it. Start with one session, ask your questions, understand how we work and decide from there.
