About me
I'm Manse M Doshi.
For me, therapy is a space of possibility, where understanding ourselves can open doors to healing, balance and change.
Over the last 24 years I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and couples, each with their own story, struggles and strengths. I have seen how awareness can shift behaviour, how empathy can rebuild connection, and how even small insights can reshape a life.
As a clinical psychologist, my work draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), play therapy and other evidence-based approaches. Beyond technique, I believe in a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, authentic and free of judgement. Sessions are collaborative: we explore patterns, emotions and experiences together, and turn insight into practical tools for everyday life.
Whether it is helping a child find words for their feelings, a teenager work through self-esteem, or an adult rediscover their strengths, my aim is to make therapy a place where growth feels possible.

Media and writing
Mental health in the public eye
Alongside my clinical practice, I have spent years working where mental health meets mainstream media. I have been the consulting psychologist on some of India's best-known television shows, including Kaun Banega Crorepati, Indian Idol, Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz, Sach Ka Saamna, Star Vivaah and Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega.
That work meant supporting emotional well-being, carrying out psychological assessments, and helping people manage stress, performance anxiety and the pressure of being in the public eye. It taught me how high-pressure environments shape mental health, identity and self-worth.
I have also contributed to published books, including Eat Delete and Death Is Not the Answer, writing about emotional health, resilience and the mind–body connection.
In clients' words
What people have shared
“I've been working with Mansi for a few years now, primarily for anger issues, depression, and anxiety. From the start, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I could open up at my own pace. Her trauma-informed approach and deep patience have been instrumental in my healing.”
“Mansi has a way that makes one feel comfortable and safe very quickly to talk through the issues. She is patient, positive and practical in her sessions. I particularly liked the feedback and the encouragement she provides towards being more aware of oneself and creating behavioral change.”
“I started my therapy sessions with her in 2020 and she made me feel comfortable immediately. Over time, Mansi's counselling helped me overcome my depression and address my psychological issues.”
A safe space is just a message away.
