The Story Behind Rooh

Rooh Mind Care was founded on a simple belief: mental healthcare should be evidence-based, compassionate, confidential, and centred around you.

Founded by Anamika Rawlani, Founder & Chief Clinical Psychologist, Rooh brings together clinical psychologists licensed by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), Government of India, counselling psychologists and a psychiatrist. We see clients in person in Lucknow, and online worldwide, united by a shared commitment to client‑centred care.

Anamika’s path began in Ranchi, at RINPAS and CIP, two of India’s oldest mental health institutes, and took her to NIMHANS, Bengaluru, for ICMR research. After 12+ years in practice, what she holds on to is simple: therapy should be “a safe space where the client can just be and speak freely.”

Our therapists work under experienced clinical supervision, helping us uphold high standards of ethical, evidence-based care.

A Space to Be Yourself

You should never have to hide a part of yourself to feel understood.

Rooh is queer-affirmative, neurodivergent-friendly, culturally sensitive, and inclusive of diverse identities, relationships, and lived experiences.

What Hurts Is Not Always What Is Visible

Behind anxiety may be fear.
Behind anger may be pain.
Behind perfectionism may be exhaustion.
Behind silence may be a story waiting to be heard.

At Rooh, we look beyond symptoms to understand the person behind them. Our aim is not simply to help you manage what you’re going through, but to support deeper self-understanding and meaningful, sustainable change.

You are more than a diagnosis. More than a symptom. You are a whole person with a story worth understanding.

Rooh Mind Care.
