Prathyusha Pulugurtha
Counselling psychologist working with adolescents through older adults on mood, stress, relationships, and life’s ups and downs.
I’m Prathyusha, a counselling psychologist based in Hyderabad. My interest in psychology grew out of seeing how many people around me — including myself — struggled to find a space where they felt safe and heard. Over time, I began creating that space for the people around me. I believe all of us carry stories and thoughts that want to be heard, and that everyone deserves to express themselves without judgment. That’s what I aim to create in my practice: a space where you can feel heard, be vulnerable, and feel supported.
I work with a diverse group of people, from adolescents to older adults, facing everyday challenges around mood, stress, relationships, and life’s ups and downs. I use an eclectic, evidence-based approach drawing on different therapeutic modalities, with a strong focus on emotional expression. I believe emotions aren’t something to be fixed or pushed aside, but understood — and that learning to name them, sit with them, and express them is often where real healing begins.
Outside of work I enjoy painting, drawing, cooking, exploring the city, going on long walks — and sometimes just staying home for some quiet time to myself. If you’re looking for a space to be heard and supported, I’d be glad to help you get there.
