Resident Psychologist
( Supervised by Delphina Esther )
Jitesh specializes in creating a reflective and compassionate space where individuals can slow down, understand their emotions, and reconnect with themselves.

He believes therapy is not just about addressing distress but also about discovering meaning, balance, and a deeper sense of self.
About Jitesh
Jitesh Madahar is a counselling psychologist who works with young adults and individuals from diverse and marginalised communities. His practice is grounded in a trauma-informed and intersectional lens, guided by empathy, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. Jitesh supports individuals navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, and relationship concerns; helping them find clarity, compassion, and balance within themselves.
He integrates mindfulness into his work, drawing on research-backed modalities that recognise the deep connection between mind and body. Jitesh believes that healing begins when people become more aware of what they are feeling and when their stories are met with gentleness and curiosity.
Apart from being a therapist, Jitesh finds grounding in nature, long walks, journaling, and meaningful conversations. He values creativity and connection that shape the way he shows up for his clients and the healing spaces he co-creates with them.

Testimonials
Working with Jitesh has been a grounding experience. His calm and empathetic presence made it easy for me to open up, even about things I had never said out loud before. He helped me notice patterns in my thoughts and emotions without judgment, and that awareness has truly changed the way I relate to myself.

Therapy with Jitesh feels like a quiet pause in the middle of a busy world. He listens deeply, challenges kindly, and reminds me that healing doesn’t have to be perfect, just honest. I’ve grown more comfortable in my skin and kinder toward myself.

When I first came to therapy with Jitesh, my anxiety felt constant, like I was always on alert. He helped me understand that my anxiety wasn’t just in my mind, but also in my body. Through our sessions, I’ve learned to slow down, listen to myself, and respond with compassion instead of fear. His gentle and grounded presence made it easier for me to unpack the layers of my worries and find calm in small, everyday ways
