Hi, I am Akanshaa Hirraani, a sport psychologist and counsellor based in Pune, India. I hold an M.Sc. in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Halmstad University, Sweden, along with postgraduate qualifications in counselling and school psychology. At Calmfit Counselliing, I work with athletes, children, families, and professionals, helping them manage pressure, build confidence, and perform at their best without losing their inner balance. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Person-Centred Therapy. I have worked with athletes in India and Sweden and have contributed published articles on sports, men’s mental health, school counselling, ADHD, Animal-Assisted Therapy, Body image issues, Cancer, Epilepsy, and Caregivers’ mental health to the Rotary Action Group of Mental Health Initiatives 3030’s Mind Matters publication.
I am available for both online and offline sessions; however, consultations are strictly by prior appointment only.
