Kaushiki Rao is a certified counsellor from Parivarthan (2018) and follows an integrative, feminist approach to counselling. She includes embodied methods in her work. She is open and affirmative concerning gender and sexuality and is a certified queer affirmative counsellor (QACP 2019).

Through her work, she aims to enable clients to see themselves better and accept themselves. She seeks, through this process, to help them choose their paths more consciously. Her work supports clients by providing a therapeutic space while they navigate the changes that occur in their lives and selves.

Previously, she worked in labour and livelihoods. Her initial training is in anthropology (BA, Amherst College, 2004) and political theory (MA, University of Chicago, 2005).

Kaushiki works with individual adults, children & adolescents, and also provides relationship counselling.
