Sanchita Sood
Senior Consultant Psychologist
M.Sc, M.Phil
6 years of experience
I am an RCI-licensed Clinical Psychologist with an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology, currently undergoing advanced training in adult psychoanalysis at the Psychoanalytic Therapy and Research Centre.
My work is grounded in a deep respect for the complexity of the human mind. Over time, I have found myself drawn to psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches for the depth they offer. They create space to understand not just symptoms, but the underlying emotional patterns, early experiences, and unconscious processes that shape how we live and relate.
I see therapy as a thoughtful, collaborative process. It unfolds at its own pace. It is a space to reflect, to make sense of internal conflicts, and to gently work through patterns that may feel repetitive or difficult to shift.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, emotional overwhelm, and questions of identity and self-worth. My approach is attentive, engaged, and attuned to each individual’s unique inner world.
Concerns I can help with
I’m always on edge, waiting for something bad to happen.I feel empty and unmotivated, like nothing in life matters anymore.I feel lost and overwhelmed after any change.I can’t move on after losing my loved one.I binge eat when I’m stressed, then feel guilty afterwards.

FAQs
Why did you choose to become a therapist?
Growing up, I saw how emotional struggles, when left unaddressed, could shape lives in significant ways. I chose to become a therapist because I believe that our early experiences can have a profound impact on shaping who we are. This sparked my curiosity about the human mind and the resilience people carry within them. I wanted to be someone who could help others navigate those experiences with understanding and support. Through my extensive training and practice, I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy, and it has reinforced my commitment to this work. Being a therapist is not just a profession for me; it is a privilege to walk alongside people in their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
