RIA GUPTA

I’m Ria (she/her), a psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia.

After living abroad for eight years, I recently moved back to India. Working across multicultural spaces has deeply shaped my approach to therapy.


Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with people from diverse backgrounds in a range of mental health and educational settings, including 350+ hours as a Therapist, 350+ conversations as a Crisis Responder, and mentoring over 75 students as an Academic Tutor.

At the core of my work is the belief that most people simply want to feel seen, understood, and accepted without judgment. When we’re overwhelmed, it can start to feel as though anxiety, shame, self-doubt, or relationship struggles are who we are, rather than something we are experiencing. Therapy can then become a space to gently step back from those stories, understand where they come from, and begin relating to them differently.
