"To be human is to need others, and that is no flaw or weakness.”- Dr. Sue Johnson
​
"Safe space" is a frequently used term in discussions about therapy and sessions. What thoughts come to mind when considering a safe space? Perhaps it's a place where one can be truly open and vulnerable, a space that encourages a fresh perspective, or simply a place where authenticity is valued. The concept of a safe space varies from person to person, but it consistently shares the trait of fostering a deeper self-understanding. Being in your "safe space" empowers you to engage in the processes of learning, unlearning, and relearning various facets of both yourself and the world that surrounds you.
​
As your therapist, my intention is to create and nurture this space for you. We will work to understand your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with openness and vulnerability, knowing that you will be met with empathy, understanding, and non-judgment.

“After a long search for finding "the right therapist" I came across Mannya. We grow out of a place of comfort, we learn how to treat ourselves by how others treat us. Mannya makes you feel validated as a human being, she acts as a mirror allowing you to see yourself with clarity and also allowing you to know how to treat yourself when things get tough. This further enabled me to have meaningful insights about my own behaviours and patterns of thinking and eventually allowed me to act upon those. Her approach is a perfect blend of evidence-based tools and humanness. Working with Mannya has allowed me to accept myself, to self-regulate better, it has certainly empowered me and helped me adjust well to my environment and stressors. I have never made such progress with any other therapists and would love to work with her as her client in future too.”
