GITA A PAREKH

My story

A counsellor, a survivor, and a steady hand to hold.

I have spent more than fifteen years as a psychotherapist, sitting with people through some of the hardest moments of their lives. Then cancer came into my own life, and I learned what it feels like from the other side of the room.

Since 2007

Psychotherapist

Counselling clients in Mumbai for more than fifteen years.

Lived experience

Breast cancer survivor

Shaped by the reality of walking through cancer care myself.

SINCE 2007

Who I am

Three roles that shaped the way I care.

To understand pain to the core, one needs to go through it oneself. Each part of my life has taught me something about how to support people.

♡

A mother

Being a mother, nurturing comes easily to me, and I extend that same care to every patient and family I meet.

♡

A psychotherapist

Years of practice have made me a compassionate listener, someone who can hold space without judgement.

♡

A survivor

Being a survivor gives me the ability to truly understand the pain, fear, and fatigue of the cancer journey.

My journey

From the counselling room to the other side of it.

2007

Beginning my practice

I began counselling clients in Mumbai, learning that listening honestly is where all support begins.

Diagnosis

Facing cancer myself

Breast cancer changed my life. My own journey through treatment hasn’t been easy, and it changed how I understand pain.

Survivor

My survivor story was featured by Hinduja Hospital, a reminder that lived experience can give others hope.
