Yoshita Bhargava
Psychotherapist · She/Her · Practising since 2020
Hi, I'm Yoshita. I'm a psychotherapist working online with adults across India and internationally. I hold an MSc in Counseling Psychology from CHRIST University, Bangalore, and a Diploma in Transactional Analysis — the framework that quietly anchors most of my work. I'm currently preparing to sit for my Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) exam — the next step in a long, deliberate apprenticeship to this work.
I'm based in Noida, in Delhi NCR, and my practice is fully online, so I work with adults there, in Dehradun and across India. Before my marriage I practised in Dehradun, and I still sometimes work from Dehradun or Rishikesh.
I came into this profession because I've always believed there's so much more to a person than the wall we usually meet. My aim is for therapy to feel like a real conversation in a safe room — alive, curious, sometimes uncomfortable, often surprising. My role isn't to hand you advice or fix you; it's to walk beside you while you make sense of yourself.

How I Hold the Work
How I Hold Individual Therapy
In one-on-one work, I practice primarily through Transactional Analysis (TA) — exploring the ego states, life scripts, and old patterns that shape how you move through the world today. Many of the people who come to me are high-functioning on the outside but quietly stuck on the inside — navigating anxiety, depression, grief, big life transitions, or simply the slow ache of wanting to know themselves better. We work at a pace that respects your story, with the steady invitation underneath it all: I'm OK, You're OK.
How I Hold Couples Therapy
Couples work needs a different approach. Here, I draw on an integrative approach — primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Narrative Therapy— to help partners move out of cycles of disconnection and into something more honest. EFT lets us slow down the emotional dance underneath the arguments; narrative work helps you both notice — and gently rewrite — the story you've been living inside. The goal is never to assign blame. It's to understand the pattern, soften it, and find each other again.

Beyond the Practice
Alongside my private practice, the Dandelion team has built two tools: Therapy Manager, a practice-management tool for fellow therapists, and Dandelion Reflect, a digital journal. Both come from the same belief that holds my therapy work — that flourishing is a slow, intentional process, and we all deserve good companions for it. Explore the apps.
If you're a therapist yourself, Therapy Manager also publishes free guides on the parts of practice nobody teaches in training: starting a private practice in India, GST for therapists, and choosing practice management software. And if you'd like to try journaling, Reflect's free journal prompts are a gentle place to start.
When I'm not in sessions, you'll usually find me with a book, on a walk, or with my family. My practice is queer affirmative, and the door is open to all identities and relationship structures.
My Philosophy
You don't need a diagnosis to start therapy. Wanting to understand a pattern is reason enough.
If you have been considering therapy but are holding back, a free intro call is a low-pressure way to find out whether it fits. Therapy is a commitment to yourself.
Whether you are dealing with mental health issues or simply looking to understand yourself and your patterns to make changes — I can support you. Together, we can strive to meet your needs in therapy.
This is a non-judgmental space. What you share stays between us, apart from a few legal and safety exceptions I explain in the intro call.
