An hour set aside, for you.

I’m Tavishi, a counselling psychologist (MSc, MA, BSc) trained across the UK and India. Before Amber Hour, I worked across mental health clinics, universities, multinational corporations, NGOs and prisons. Each experience taught me something different about how people carry what’s hard for them, and how differently they need to be met.

I spent several years studying and living in the UK before moving back home, so I know both sides of it: the distance from family and the pressure to make it all worth it, and then the strangeness of coming back. It’s a big part of why I work with people here in India and with Indians living abroad.

I started Amber Hour because mental health support can easily feel rushed, whether that’s feeling like one more appointment in someone’s busy day or sitting through a single wellness talk that’s forgotten by the next week. I wanted to do it differently, at a pace that actually feels right for each person.
