About Me

Gautam brings a unique blend of thoughtful introspection and flexibility to his work, valuing the lived experience over rigid structures or certainties. He approaches individuals as complex beings—both shaped by society and inherently unique. His practice reflects a Rogerian attentiveness, inviting clients into a space where their realities are met with deep understanding, even if this disrupts traditional communication at times.

Drawing inspiration from Husserl's life-world concept, Gautam emphasizes the primacy of immediate experience, seeing it as foundational to understanding, preceding even theoretical reflection. His academic background includes a Master’s in Applied Psychology with a focus on Social and Counselling Psychology from the University of Delhi. This foundation has enriched his grasp of social dynamics, ideologies, and therapeutic approaches like existential and person-centered therapy. Gautam also draws insight from psychoanalytic literature, especially regarding the unconscious, which adds a layer of depth to his eclectic approach—embracing the view that therapeutic methods must be as diverse as the individuals who seek them.

Beyond the therapy room, Gautam’s passions for literature, theater, and cooking provide grounding and comfort, reinforcing his open-minded and adaptable approach to life and therapy. His flexibility allows him to embrace growth and change, echoing the wisdom that every individual’s journey and experience are distinct, resonating with the saying, “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
