Ms. Sayli A. Kharche — Clinical Psychologist | Helping you navigate life's challenges with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care.
I'm Sayli A. Kharche, a licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Pune with over 5 years of experience in mental health care. I hold an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology and am registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI).
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life — children struggling with learning difficulties, teenagers battling anxiety, adults dealing with depression and burnout, couples trying to rebuild trust, and families learning to communicate better.
My approach is simple: I listen without judgment, I understand with empathy, and I work with you to find practical solutions that actually fit your life. Whether it's through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, or supportive counseling — I tailor every session to what YOU need.
I started Manakar with a belief that mental health care should feel safe, approachable, and human. You don't need to have a "big problem" to seek help. Sometimes, just having someone to talk to can change everything.
If you've been thinking about therapy but aren't sure — take that first step. I promise, it's easier than you think.
