I'm Avantika Dave, a Counselling Psychologist dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges — from anxiety and relationships to self-growth and healing — all from the comfort of your home.
Hello, I'm Avantika Dave — a Counselling Psychologist and the initiative owner at Lighthouse Therapy & Counselling By Avantika. My work is rooted in the belief that every person carries within them the strength to heal; sometimes, all it takes is the right support to find the way.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can speak freely, be heard completely, and work through whatever is weighing on you — whether that's anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, grief, or life transitions.
All sessions are conducted online, so you can connect from wherever you feel most comfortable. Your privacy, your pace, and your wellbeing are always at the heart of everything I do.
You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. Here are the areas where I offer support.
A dedicated space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns — at your own pace, without judgment.
Rebuild trust, improve communication, and navigate conflicts to create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
Work through family tensions, generational patterns, and difficult dynamics in a safe, mediated environment.
Understand your anxiety, quiet the overthinking, and build practical tools for calm and resilience in daily life.
Challenge the inner critic, reconnect with your worth, and build a kinder, more confident relationship with yourself.
Process past wounds, develop emotional awareness, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Navigate major changes — career shifts, moving cities, new roles — with clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.
Prepare for a healthy partnership by exploring expectations, communication styles, and shared values before marriage.
Heal from heartbreak, understand relationship patterns, and develop healthier communication and conflict resolution skills.
A structured, confidential, and compassionate process designed to support your journey toward wellness.
You may connect via WhatsApp, phone, or email. We will respond promptly to understand your needs and schedule a suitable time for an introductory conversation.
The initial session is dedicated to understanding your concerns, background, and goals. It is a gentle, unhurried conversation — there is no expectation to share more than you are comfortable with.
Sessions are conducted online via Zoom or Google Meet. We work collaboratively to address your goals through evidence-based approaches tailored to your individual needs.
We periodically review progress and refine our approach together. The therapeutic journey is personalised — we move at a pace that feels right for you.
All sessions are conducted online via Zoom or Google Meet, ensuring a private and convenient experience from wherever you are.
Each session is Appx 45–60 minutes in duration. The frequency of sessions is determined collaboratively based on your therapeutic goals.
All information shared within sessions is treated with the utmost confidentiality, in accordance with professional ethical guidelines.

Talking to Avantika felt like a weight being lifted. She never made me feel judged — just heard. I finally understood why I kept repeating the same patterns in my relationships.
I was going through a really difficult time and couldn't see a way forward. Avantika helped me process my emotions and rebuild myself. I'm genuinely grateful for her support.
My anxiety was affecting everything — work, sleep, my relationships. After a few sessions with Avantika, I had actual tools to manage it. It made such a difference in my daily life.
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, overthinking, or restlessness. Learning to manage it can make daily life feel calmer and more balanced.
When partners express feelings openly and listen with understanding, it strengthens trust and emotional connection.
Many people find it easier to be kind to a stranger than to themselves. Research shows self-compassion is one of the strongest predictors of wellbeing.
Counselling can feel unfamiliar at first. These are the questions I hear most often.
Reaching out is the hardest part — and you've already done it by being here. We will respond within 24 hours.
