Mental health continues to be widely misunderstood and often overlooked, despite the profound role it plays in shaping how people think, feel, and function in their everyday lives. While conversations around emotional well-being are gradually becoming more visible, stigma, misinformation, and limited access to care still prevent many individuals from seeking the support they need.
Working to shift this narrative is Aanandita Vaghani, Founder and Mental Health Counsellor at UnFix Your Feelings, focused on making therapy more approachable, empathetic, and relevant to modern life. Through her work, she encourages people to view therapy not as a means of “fixing” themselves, but as a process of understanding emotions, unpacking patterns, and building healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges. Her approach places emphasis on emotional awareness, self-reflection, and resilience-helping individuals reconnect with themselves while navigating the pressures and complexities of contemporary living.
