Our Team
Sumukh Nijhawan
Founder | Head Psychotherapist
Sumukh founded Mindsia around a simple belief: that good therapy should feel human, and that it should be within reach for people who too often fall through the gaps. He works as a person-centred therapist with a pluralistic approach, which in practice means he meets each person where they are rather than fitting them into a fixed method. His work is shaped by an interest in shame, the nervous system, and the quiet ways our earliest relationships keep showing up in adult life. A lot of this grew out of his earlier years supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD and complex needs, where he learned that no two people ever need quite the same thing.
Sumukh is an accredited psychotherapist (MNCPS Accred., MBACP) and is currently training at doctoral level in Counselling Psychology. His research looks at attachment and belonging in South Asian families, particularly how people stay close to the ones they love while still becoming their own person. That thread runs through Mindsia too, a service built to offer culturally aware, accessible therapy for adults who want to be understood rather than labelled.
As Clinical Director he oversees the standard of care across the service, making sure the support people receive is safe, considered and genuinely their own.
Jyoti
Admin and Client Placement Manager
Jyoti is the first friendly voice they meet at Mindsia. She is the one who welcomes you when you reach out, listens to what you are looking for, and helps you until your first session. She brings over twenty years of experience working closely with people in healthcare and service settings, where she became known for putting others at ease and making sure no one ever felt like just a name on a list. That same care shapes how she works here. She understands that reaching out for therapy can take a lot, and she does her best to make those first steps feel simple and human.
Jyoti speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi, and her warmth across languages and cultures sits right at the heart of what Mindsia is about. Alongside her role she has a longstanding personal interest in mindfulness and meditation, which feeds into the calm, steady presence she brings to everyone she meets.
Our Trainee Therapists
Alongside the core team, Mindsia works with a group of advanced trainee psychotherapists and counsellors, each in the later stages of their accredited training. They bring real skill, warmth and commitment to the people they support.
How We Keep Therapy Accessible
Mindsia is built around a trainee-supported model, and it is central to how we keep good therapy within reach. Our lower-cost sessions are delivered by advanced trainees working under close and ongoing supervision, with every piece of clinical work overseen by experienced practitioners.
This is central to what we set out to do. It keeps our fees affordable while every piece of clinical work is supported and overseen by experienced practitioners. It means more people can reach therapy that might otherwise feel out of reach, and the trainees we work with gain the real, supported experience they need to qualify.
