BA (Hons.) - Psychology, MA Psychology (Clinical), Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis
Mansi Aggarwal is a mental health professional with 5+ years of demonstrated experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and scientific research. She is highly skilled in psychotherapeutic interventions, creating quality and ethical research frameworks, content development, and strategic skill building.
Mansi works with clients in her telehealth practice to enhance self-efficacy, life quality, and psychosocial functioning so that they can strive towards living their authentic lives. She uses an eclectic psychotherapeutic approach from the lens of trauma-informed care and social justice. Her areas of expertise include trauma, interpersonal relationships, work & life-related stressors, identity & sexuality-related concerns, and grief.
As a psychotherapist, Mansi values nuances of human behavior above everything else - for her, context is the key – and she invites her clients to explore their life experiences on their own terms and at their own pace. According to her, when she displays curiosity, respect, and openness towards understanding a person’s world, it builds a space where transformations happen, and the client can maximize their potential to lead their authentic lives. Along with striving toward therapy goals, Mansi co-creates a space with her clients that offers ease, gentleness, and compassion in their healing journeys. In research, her work and interest lie in understanding trauma, grief, and lived experiences.
