My name is Abanti Mandal, and I am a Clinical Psychologist at Blossom Psychology Clinic. I offer therapy in a way that is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of each person’s unique story.

I recognise that every individual’s experiences, identity, and way of being in the world are valid, and I take a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to support clients in a way that feels safe, empowering, and meaningful to them.

I am committed to creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we work at your pace to explore what matters to you, honouring your values, preferences, and goals, while supporting you in navigating challenges and building on your existing strengths.

I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples across private practice and school settings. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, trauma, relationship challenges, personality vulnerabilities, and life transitions. In my work with couples, I focus on fostering emotional safety, strengthening communication, and supporting partners to better understand one another, repair disconnection, and rebuild trust in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

My therapeutic approach integrates a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based practices. I also draw from emotion-focused and attachment-based frameworks, particularly when supporting relational patterns and connection in both individual and couple work.

I feel privileged to walk alongside my clients as they deepen self-awareness, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and wellbeing. I value authenticity, empathy, and collaboration, and I aim to ensure that therapy feels like a supportive and empowering space where growth is both meaningful and sustainable.

Outside of the therapy room, I find balance through simple, grounding rituals, whether that’s enjoying a quiet morning matcha, engaging in strength training, or slowing down through yoga. I also value time to rest and recharge, often unwinding with a good TV series or spending quality time with those closest to me.
