A closer look at who we are, why we started this, and the people showing up for it.
Your Space is yours to define. It's personal, it's individual, and a reminder that you're not alone in it.
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.
To build safe, inclusive spaces through collaborative programs and community driven initiatives, meeting people where they are, and growing with them.
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.
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.
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 leans on behavioural approaches held together with a humanistic lens, staying curious enough to keep learning alongside the people she works with. 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.
@sincerelyapsychologistRashi believes that everyone carries their own unique story, just as everyone's experience of mental health is different. In a world that moves quickly, she hopes (Y)our Space can be a place to slow down, feel, figure things out, or simply be.
She believes mental health should never feel like a privilege, it matters to everyone, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
In the therapy room, Rashi works from an eclectic, humanistic and trauma-informed approach. She believes therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and stays curious and open to exploring what works best for each person.
Outside the therapy room, you'll find her with coffee or chocolate (or both!), adding to her TBR, stopping for sunsets, getting excited over little things, and enjoying good music, art, and company.
@rashi.nevatiaSakshi thinks we spend a lot of time trying to understand what we're feeling before we allow ourselves to actually feel it. Sometimes you don't have the right words. Sometimes you don't know why something feels heavy. And sometimes, nothing is necessarily wrong, you just don't feel like yourself. That's what she hopes to create through Your Space. A space where you don't have to have everything figured out or explain yourself perfectly before you can be heard.
She works as a psychologist, and outside the therapy room, she's also someone who writes about the things we often feel but don't always know how to put into words. Maybe that's why she believes so deeply in making space for the things we usually rush past, dismiss, or convince ourselves we're already over. Because sometimes, being able to sit with yourself honestly is where things begin to change.
@__sakshiwritesVatsal 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.
@vatsall.parmarYogitha 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 works with an eclectic, psychodynamic approach. 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.
@_mindful.ishKalyani, Rashi, Sakshi, and Yogitha all take individual therapy sessions alongside their work with Your Space. If you're looking for a space of your own to talk things through, write in and we'll help you find a slot.
