Rekha Kangokar Rama Rao

About Me

Rekha Kangokar Rama Rao is a registered Counselling Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Community-Based Counselling Psychology from Wits. She supports children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional difficulties. Rekha works from a compassionate, person-centred perspective, integrating evidence-based approaches with mindfulness and creativity to meet each client’s individual needs. She aims to provide a safe, collaborative space in which clients feel genuinely heard and supported as they develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change.

Transition has been a defining theme in Rekha’s life—from building an initial career as a geologist and gaining valuable experience in Human Resources (HR), to following her calling to become a Counselling Psychologist, and from raising young children (niece and nephews) to parenting two teenagers. These diverse life and professional experiences have given her a deep personal appreciation of the courage, uncertainty, and growth that accompany change. Today, she draws on this understanding to support people navigating their own life transitions, helping them feel heard, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
