My name is Apurva Dixit and I'm a psychotherapist based in Goa. I offer Individual and Group Psychotherapy. I believe that lived experience is a rich source of information and a lot can be learnt about our complexities and contradictions through our life story. With therapy, I aim to create a safe space where we can explore your challenges and experiences from a lens of curiosity. This can facilitate the emergence of the past, as well as the here-and-now aspects of your narrative in total honesty.

I am also keenly interested in understanding the impact of social and systemic factors on a person's life. We can often place too much emphasis on the shortcomings of individuals and in the process, overlook the role of the environment in all its political, social and natural shades. My training with groups helps me notice the larger factors beyond individual control.

When I'm not working, I love being in nature, engaging in art and spending my time around animals.

My approach to therapy is integrative, and informed by an Existential-humanistic, Psychodynamic and Relational framework.

Therapy with me is insight and depth-oriented. As opposed to a short-term and solution-focused approach, this is less directive and more exploratory. However, in challenging circumstances or crises, tools and resources can be discussed and incorporated as per one’s needs.

Listed below are some areas that I work with:

Anxiety

Depression and other mood related concerns

Personality concerns

Gender and Sexuality
