About Ms. Aashna Namle

Ms. Aashna Namle is an RCI-registered Clinical Psychologist with over eight years of experience working with individuals navigating complex emotional and psychological concerns. Her clinical work spans anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, personality-related concerns, grief, identity-related distress, and longstanding patterns rooted in adverse life experiences.

Aashna brings a holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy, creating a space that is both emotionally safe and deeply reflective. Her practice has been shaped by her training in Clinical Psychology and Buddhist Psychology, alongside extensive engagement with mindfulness, meditation, somatic work, personal therapy, and an understanding of systemic and sociocultural influences on mental health.

She works extensively with individuals experiencing complex trauma, adverse childhood experiences, attachment wounds, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, anxiety and mood disorders, personality-related concerns, addictive patterns, and difficulties with self-worth and identity. Her work is particularly attentive to experiences that may not always be captured by symptoms alone, including chronic shame, disconnection from the body, relational wounds, inner conflict, and patterns of survival developed over time.

Aashna believes that healing requires more than intellectual insight. Therapy, in her view, is a space where individuals can gradually develop the emotional safety needed for honest self-exploration while building practical and sustainable changes over time.

Clients often experience her as reflective, emotionally attuned, and deeply present — someone who can hold complexity without rushing the process while also helping translate insight into meaningful change.

Therapy Philosophy (in her words)

“A koan is a paradoxical riddle, story, or question used in Zen Buddhist practice to help us encounter the limits of logic and intellectual analysis. A well-known example asks: ‘What is the sound of one hand clapping?’

For me, therapy can hold something of this spirit. We often come to therapy trying to think our way out of pain — to analyse, explain, and understand. While insight matters, healing can also require us to move beyond intellectual understanding and enter a more emotionally aware, embodied, and present relationship with ourselves.

I see therapy as a shared space where therapist and client can approach experience with curiosity, presence, and honesty. A space where emotions can be processed rather than only explained, where the body can be listened to rather than overridden, and where practical, sustainable change can emerge over time.

My work brings together research-based integrative psychotherapy with creative, presence-oriented, mindfulness and somatic approaches, helping clients develop a deeper relationship with themselves while building meaningful change in everyday life.”
