Why "Delicate Repair"?

The name Delicate Repair was chosen to represent our belief that true healing isn't forged in forceful battles, but in the delicate mending of what's been fractured. Like the deer in our logo that wears thorns like scars from old wounds it carried, but right from the same thorns, there are roses that show resilience birthing from survival's grace. That's you: resilient, beautiful in your scars.

Our name holds that truth tenderly: healing isn't a storm to battle, but a soft unfolding, petal by petal. Here, in this space, we sit with your story, every part and layer that makes you who you are, without rush or fixing, but to listen intentionally, with no-judgement and steady presence, because we know the weight of those thorns is real and sometimes dark, but it can be carried.

We will move through it together, helping those roses bloom from what once wounded, without forging, at a gentle pace. You're safe and seen here.

Meet Your Therapist

Portrait of Khushi, therapist and founder of Delicate Repair

Hi, I'm Khushi (she/her)

I'm a trauma-informed therapist based in India and the founder of Delicate Repair therapy. I specialise in helping people heal from trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, addiction, and the complex emotional patterns that can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and others.

My work is grounded in depth, safety, and collaboration. I am trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT and I am a certified trauma-specialist. I also integrate somatic-focused approaches and body-based tools in a way that honours and regulates your nervous system and your pace.

I believe that even the parts of you that feel "too much" — angry, avoidant, self-critical, or wanting to disappear — are protective in some way. Together, we gently build awareness, emotional regulation, and new ways of relating to yourself and the people in your life.

At Delicate Repair, I draw from evidence-based approaches to support clients in:

  • Processing traumatic experiences and easing the symptoms that continue to linger
  • Building a greater sense of safety in their bodies through nervous system regulation and somatic practices
  • Setting and maintaining boundaries without being weighed down by shame or guilt
  • Understanding and healing attachment wounds and repetitive relationship patterns
  • Making sense of identity shifts, cultural grief, and the complexity of living in the "in-between"
  • Moving beyond survival mode toward a life that feels intentional, grounded, and aligned with their values

Whether you're working through trauma, struggling in relationships, feeling misunderstood, caught in cycles of shame or substance use, or trying to make sense of intense emotions — therapy with me is a space where you don't have to perform or be "fixed." I focus on understanding before changing — and change follows from there.

Approach & Additional Info

Trauma doesn't always announce itself loudly.

Sometimes it lives in the tightness of your chest before a difficult conversation. In the patterns you can't seem to break. In the way your body remembers what your mind tries hard not to remember.

It can be quiet, yet heavy and dark.

But it can be carried. And you don't have to carry it all alone anymore.

Reasons to seek therapy could look like:

  • Experiencing physiological symptoms induced by anxiety such as getting sick often, breaking into rashes or hives, chronic body ache, frequent gastrointestinal issues, headaches, hyperventilation
  • Anxiety that makes it hard to function, or experiencing panic attacks
  • Exhaustion that never goes away, or experiencing fatigue
  • Rage or anger that feels consuming
  • Severe menstrual cramps without a significant diagnosed disorder such as PCOS/PCOD or Endometriosis
  • Disconnection from yourself and others
  • Feeling guilty all the time
  • Confusion about why you abandon yourself in relationships
  • Being unable to place boundaries

Or maybe you've done some healing already, but you know there are deeper layers waiting to be held. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you're listening to that quiet voice that says something can be different.

Here's how we work together

I work with trauma by moving through it — rather than around it. Without re-traumatising.

Together, we'll dismantle the beliefs that keep you small, restore belongingness and connection with yourself, and process suppressed emotions. We'll shift from self-blame to understanding that, as Dr. Gabor Maté says, "Trauma is a self-regulation issue."

This work is delicate, yes. But it's also powerful.

Together, we'll create a space where your nervous system can finally exhale. Where there's room for curiosity about the origins of these big, confusing feelings — without judgment.

You deserve more than just management.

Frequently Asked Questions

The first session is a space to get to know each other. There's no pressure to share everything right away. We'll talk about what brought you here, what you're hoping to find, and I'll share how I work. It's as much about you getting a sense of whether this feels like the right fit as it is about me understanding your situation.

Frequency varies depending on what you need. Most clients begin with weekly sessions. As things shift, we may move to fortnightly. The rhythm is collaborative — your life, schedule, and pace shape it.

Sessions are currently conducted online via video call, making therapy accessible wherever you are in India. This also means flexible scheduling, without the commute.

Not at all. Many people come to therapy without a formal diagnosis — and that's completely fine. You don't need a label to deserve support. If you feel something is off, or if life just feels harder than it should, that's reason enough.

Yes. Confidentiality is a foundational part of the therapeutic relationship. Everything you share is protected. There are specific, legally required exceptions (e.g., if there is an imminent risk of harm) which will be clearly explained at the start of our work together.

There's no fixed answer. Some people work through a specific challenge in a few months; others engage in longer-term work to address deeper patterns. We'll check in regularly about how things are going and what feels right for the next phase of your journey.

That's worth naming — and it matters. Past therapeutic experiences (even difficult ones) tell us something important about what you need. I take the fit between therapist and client seriously, and I'm always open to feedback about how things are going.
