A Mental Health Initiative

This is your space to feel, pause, and be understood.

We hold both the deeply personal and the beautifully shared. Workshops, community, and support built around genuine human connection, not one size fits all advice.

Who We Are

Your Space is yours to define. It's personal, it's individual, and a reminder that you're not alone in it.

Our Vision

A platform that unites individuals, organisations, schools, and workplaces in making mental well-being part of everyday life, where mental health is met with empathy and collective care.

Our Mission

To build safe, inclusive spaces through collaborative programs and community driven initiatives, meeting people where they are, and growing with them.

Beyond Struggle

We see well-being as an ongoing process of resilience, growth, and intentional self-care, not just something to fix when it breaks.

In short, Your Space is five people who believe mental health deserves more than a label. It's a place to be heard, to slow down, and to remember you're not carrying it alone. Not just workshops. A space. Yours.

What We Do

We listen first. Then we build.

It's not one size fits all. We curate what fits: reflection circles, structured group sessions, or workshops tailored to your community's needs.

Workshops

Interactive sessions

Evidence informed workshops on mental health topics, designed for diverse audiences and real conversations, not lectures.

Collaborations

Co-created programs

Built alongside mental health professionals, organisations, and institutions, shaped together, not handed down.

Events

Community gatherings

Panel discussions, awareness campaigns, and spaces to gather, because being heard together matters too.

We listen. Then we build something that actually fits.

Our engagements can be designed around socio-emotional themes, or customised to the specific context of your school, workplace, or community. As we grow, our offerings evolve in direct response to the people we serve.

The People Behind It

Five people, one belief.

That mental health support should be accessible, understood, and rooted in genuine human connection.

We didn't want a page that reads like a team directory, so think of this as more of an introduction. Some of us hold the therapy room, some of us hold everything around it, and all of us hold the belief that this space should feel like home before it feels like a service. Here's a little about who we are, on and off the clock.

V
Vatsal Parmar
Co-founder

Vatsal is the one who makes Your Space run, quietly and completely. He knows how heavy it can feel to talk about the things we carry, and that knowing is exactly why this space exists, so that talking about it doesn't have to feel so hard. He's the person people go to when something needs fixing, building, or simply figuring out, and he brings that same steadiness to Your Space itself.

Off the clock, he's usually deep into a new pair of sneakers, working on something creative, or already planning the next drive to the mountains. If you ask his friends, they'll tell you he's the go-to for absolutely everything, design, finances, a broken website, or just someone to sit with when things are heavy.

S
Sakshi Sethiya
Co-founder · Psychologist

Sakshi thinks we've gotten too comfortable reducing mental health to labels, anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, words that explain very little about what a day actually feels like from the inside. For her, it's less about naming what's wrong and more about learning to sit with how you actually feel, instead of forcing yourself into a feeling that isn't true. That belief is the whole reason Your Space exists, and it's what she hopes to keep changing, even in small ways.

In the therapy room, she doesn't stick to one fixed method, she shapes each session around the person in front of her, and tries to stay gentle with the parts of a story that are hardest to say out loud. Outside of it, she's a writer at heart, someone who has spent years turning quiet, unspoken feelings into words other people recognise as their own. You'll usually find her chasing a sunset, staring at the stars, planning a trip she may never take, or adding one more impossibly aesthetic notebook to a collection her friends have long stopped questioning.

K
Kalyani Damle
Co-founder · Psychologist

For Kalyani, mental health was never separate from life, it shows up in families, in work, in relationships, and in the quiet in between moments nobody talks about. She's noticed how something that feels small to one person can feel enormous to someone else, and how that difference deserves to be taken seriously rather than measured. Even as conversations around mental health grow, she keeps returning to the gap between knowing what helps and actually building habits that do.

In the therapy room, she keeps things practical, helping people build small habits that actually stick, while staying curious enough to keep learning alongside them. Outside of it, she's usually lost in a flow state while painting, or fully vibing to whatever's playing. Her friends love her voice notes and her humour, but they will not, under any circumstances, trust her alone in a stationery shop.

Y
Yogitha Karthik
Co-founder · Psychologist

Yogitha sees mental health as a spectrum, not a diagnosis. She thinks we've started associating it too heavily with disorders, forgetting that it's also made of strengths, resilience, and every quiet, positive part of a person that keeps them going. Holding onto that whole picture, she believes, is one of the simplest ways to chip away at stigma.

In the therapy room, she doesn't follow one fixed method, she mixes and matches depending on who she's working with, and likes to explore where certain feelings or patterns might actually be coming from. Outside of it, she's either owning a karaoke stage, walking along the beach, or living her best life as a self declared passenger princess. Her friends trust her completely with one very serious responsibility, knowing exactly where to get the best food and coffee in the city.

R
Rashi Nevatia
Co-founder · Psychologist

Rashi believes every story is different, and so is every person's mental health. In a world moving as fast as this one, she wanted Your Space to be exactly what people don't get enough of, somewhere to slow down, figure things out, feel whatever needs to be felt, or sometimes just be. She holds firmly to the idea that mental health shouldn't be a privilege, it matters for everyone, no matter where they come from.

In the therapy room, she doesn't follow one fixed method either, she adapts to whoever she's working with, and pays close attention to how past experiences can still quietly shape the present. Outside of it, she's rarely without coffee or chocolate, always adding to an already unmanageable TBR pile, and easily delighted by the smallest things, a good sunset, a baby waving hello, or a joke that only she seems to find funny.
