Clinical Psychologist in Kolkata
In-person sessions in Kolkata and online consultations across India, with a clinical background rooted in the Institute of Psychiatry, SSKM Hospital.
Therapy in Kolkata, grounded in clinical training
Kolkata is where Srijita Gupta's clinical training began. She completed her M.Phil in Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Centre of Excellence (IPGME&R and SSKM Hospital), one of the city's long-established government psychiatric institutions, and holds an M.Sc in Clinical Psychology from the University of Calcutta, where she was a rank holder. That grounding, together with over a decade of subsequent clinical work in government psychiatric hospital settings, shapes how she approaches assessment and therapy today.
She currently offers in-person sessions in Kolkata alongside online consultations available to clients anywhere in India. Whether you prefer to meet in person or find it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or travel through a video consultation, both formats are structured around the same careful assessment and evidence-based approach.

What therapy can help with
Clients in Kolkata seek support for a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety and related conditions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, trauma and post-traumatic stress, ADHD, personality-related difficulties, eating and sleep concerns, grief, relationship and family conflict, and stress or adjustment difficulties. Sessions draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), mindfulness-based methods, and cognitive rehabilitation, chosen based on what is appropriate for your situation. These approaches are used as tools that can support change; they are not presented as guarantees of a particular outcome.
How sessions work
A first session usually involves understanding your history and current concerns before agreeing on a way forward together. For clients based in or visiting Kolkata, in-person sessions can be scheduled directly; for those elsewhere, or who prefer flexibility, online sessions are available and are conducted with the same structure and confidentiality as in-person care. Many people combine both formats over the course of their therapy.
