About Us
WE UNDERSTAND
that you find yourself stuck. Maybe in relationship struggles or a difficult life event or just in trying to unleash your innate potential. External pressures and problems may not be avoidable, but fortunately the key to change is still with you, your thoughts! The big bang to your emotional reactions and behavioral outcomes.
WE UNDERSTAND
that you find yourself stuck. Maybe in relationship struggles or a difficult life event or just in trying to unleash your innate potential. Being stuck in any of these means just one thing – that you are stuck in your thoughts – the big bang to your emotional reactions and behavioural outcomes.
Who we are
Inner Planet is built around one simple truth: emotional growth changes everything.
We help people live emotionally aware lives—lives where you understand your inner world with as much clarity as the one outside, where your feelings aren’t obstacles but guides, and where growth becomes something you consciously practice, not wait for.

What We Can Do for You
Guided Recovery
For those living with ongoing distress, exhausted by emotional cycles that won’t quieten, confused by their patterns, or tired of “therapist hopping” with no real answers. At Inner Planet, we help you find the calm you’ve been chasing. You learn how to put away the burdens that weigh you down and quieten the noises within. Our sessions are designed to help you heal sustainably, at your own pace.
Therapeutic Healing
For the moments when life feels too heavy, too sudden, or too painful to navigate alone. We offer a long-term, organised system for understanding your inner landscape, building coping strategies, and creating change that lasts. Each step is transparent, so you always know what to expect and why it matters.
Developmental Coaching
For the emotionally aware, the ones who have reached a calm enough place to ask deeper questions. You may want to strengthen self-awareness, refine your emotional habits, or work toward personal, relational, or professional goals. Developmental coaching helps you grow with intention, clarity, and a broader sense of possibility.
Across the spectrum, from crisis to calm, we support your next step.
How We Work
At Inner Planet, therapy is more than just talking—it's about feeling, understanding, and taking steps that actually change your life. We blend deep emotional exploration with practical ways to move forward, so growth is something you experience, not just hear about.
Making Sense of What's Inside
We help you explore what's happening inside—your thoughts, emotions, and patterns—and train you in responding differently to situations that feel overwhelming.
- Using techniques rooted in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), you learn to notice unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, gently challenge them, and discover ways of thinking that ease emotional distress.
- We also draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you connect with your emotions more fully, understand what they're telling you, and respond to yourself and others with more clarity.
You do better only when you know better. Seeing yourself clearly helps you make better choices and feel more in control of your life.
Building Your Own Compass
We help you step back and examine your experiences, so you can understand what's really happening when challenges arise.
- Therapy at Inner Planet is designed to help you build a personal approach to problem-solving, strengthening your ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically.
- You learn to reflect, develop strategies that work for you, and live life on your own terms.
You don't become dependent on your therapist. Over time, you gain the skills and confidence to handle new challenges on your own, using a repeatable process that supports lasting growth.
Growth that Lasts
We help you take what you learn in therapy and turn it into habits that become a part of your life. You set goals and build routines to support all aspects of your well-being.
- Build a strong mental foundation and strengthen the "muscle" that helps you manage your emotions.
- Develop the ability to stay in touch with yourself, so you are able to address challenges before they escalate into crises.
The changes you make become part of who you are, beyond what you practice in sessions. You can create a life that reflects your values and priorities.
A Place to Be Yourself
Therapy only works when you feel safe, and at Inner Planet, safety is built into everything we do.
- When everything else feels uncertain, this is a space you can rely on. Here, your presence matters and everything is focused entirely on you.
- We ensure complete confidentiality, with sessions carefully scheduled so your therapist can give you their full attention.
Everyone needs a place where they can drop the act, breathe, and not worry about who is looking. With us, you can sit with the hard stuff and still walk out feeling held instead of alone.
Our Team
At Inner Planet, our team brings together diverse expertise, deep training, and a shared belief: emotional growth changes everything. We are a mental health organisation dedicated to accessible, culturally attuned psychotherapy and therapist education in India.
Each therapist combines professional rigour with human warmth, creating spaces where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to grow.
Zohra Master
Co-Founder, Therapist, and Certified Supervisor (AEI, New York)
Zohra has spent years learning what it truly means to guide someone through their inner world. She believes therapy should be both intellectually clarifying and emotionally grounding. A space where clients feel seen, heard, and safe enough to explore the parts of themselves they usually keep tucked away.
An internationally certified REBT supervisor and an EFT expert, Zohra brings together structure and emotional depth in her sessions. Her work is about noticing unhelpful beliefs, understanding emotional patterns, and helping clients respond to life in ways that feel authentic. Lightness and humour weave through her approach; she believes that meaningful change can be profound yet gentle, serious yet playful; much like a silk saree that flows and holds strength in every thread.
Zohra has presented internationally, including at the 54th Annual Congress of the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT) in Belgrade, where her workshop explored integrating REBT with emotional depth in collectivistic cultures. She continues to expand this work globally, helping therapists adapt cognitive frameworks to be culturally and emotionally resonant.
Known for pacing sessions carefully and meeting clients exactly where they are, Zohra facilitates transformation in a way that is both felt and lasting.

Yogita Madan
Co-founder, Therapist, and Supervisor
Yogita's work in mental health is rooted in a deep respect for the complexity of life. She believes that life is often random, messy, and largely beyond our control—but that when we learn to pause, reflect, and respond with awareness, we arrive at choices we can stand by. For her, therapy is about strengthening emotional awareness so people can live more conscious, intentional lives, even amidst uncertainty.
Over nearly a decade of practice, Yogita’s approach has evolved from structured, model-led work to something slower, more nuanced, and deeply client-centred. Early in her journey, structure offered steadiness; over time, trust in the therapeutic process allowed her to ease into a pace that honours the client’s readiness rather than the pressure to “fix.”
Yogita brings a methodical yet deeply empathetic lens to her work. She is attentive to subtle shifts that are often overlooked, consistently acknowledging growth as it happens. A central focus of her practice is helping clients rebuild lost trust in themselves—trust that is often eroded by repeated disappointments, difficult life circumstances, or prolonged emotional distress. By restoring this trust, clients are better able to make decisions, take meaningful risks, and stay engaged with life in the present.
She holds a strong commitment to systemic perspectives, including a nuanced understanding of men’s mental health and its broader impact within families and society. Therapy, for her, is that place where experiences are spoken, held, and made sense of—without judgment.

Anushree Aurangabadkar
Therapist and Certified Supervisor (PGD, TISS)
Anushree's inquisitiveness for the mind and human experience naturally led her to therapy. She brings a bright, energetic perspective, blending curiosity with a hopeful, exploratory spirit. Her work is centered on seeing therapy as a holding space, beyond quick fixes.
She believes that the foundation to improving one’s mental health lies in learning to work with one’s emotions rather than against them. Sessions with Anushree are reflective yet lively, combining thoughtful insight with an encouraging, optimistic presence.
Outside the therapy room, Anushree approaches life with the same openness she brings to her sessions. She finds meaning in small discoveries, everyday reflections, and the simple joys that shape how we understand ourselves and others. It is this faith in the human capacity for change, through steady and intentional shifts, that continues to guide her work as a therapist.
