The things you can’t say out loud- this is where you say them
Sex. Intimacy. Desire.
I talk about them without shame, without judgment, and without pretending any
of it is simple.
Hi, I am Richa.
Sex and intimacy therapist, addiction specialist, and the person people come to when they have
nowhere else to take this.
I trained at King’s College London, American University Washington DC, and across clinical programmes in India, the UK and the US. I’ve spent a decade working with individuals and couples on the things that sit just below the surface of every relationship — desire, shame, pain, addiction, betrayal, disconnection.
Before I became a therapist, I spent ten years in film and media — as a first AD on major Bollywood productions, working with National Geographic and Discovery Channel, directing. That background matters. I understand how South Asian culture performs itself. And I understand what it costs the people performing it.
My sessions are remote, confidential, and designed for people who are done pretending everything is fine.
01 — Sex & Intimacy Therapy
For individuals and couples navigating desire discrepancy, sexual pain, shame, performance pressure, intimacy avoidance, and the specific ways South Asian culture has shaped — and often silenced — their sexual selves.
This is not sex education. It’s therapy. The difference is that we start with you — your history, your body, your relationship — and work from there.
02 — Couples & Relationship Therapy
For couples who are disconnected, stuck, or navigating something that has broken trust. Infidelity. Desire discrepancy. Communication breakdown. The slow drift that happens when two people stop being honest with each other.
I work with arranged and love marriages, couples in different countries, and couples who have never had a single honest conversation about sex.
03 — Addiction & Recovery
For individuals and families navigating alcohol, substance use, and behavioural addiction. As an Internationally Certified Addiction Professional (ICAP Level 2), I work with the person in recovery and the people around them — because addiction is never just one person’s problem.
I also work with the specific connection between addiction and intimacy — because they are almost always related, and almost never treated together.
04 — Film & OTT Consultancy
I work with film and OTT productions as an intimacy coordinator and script consultant. With ten years of film production experience and advanced clinical training in sex, intimacy and trauma, I bring both sides of the camera to this work.
