Sadia saeed
Founder and Chief Psychologist
I have had a private practice as a clinical psychologist in Mumbai, since the past 22 years. In my years of counselling practice, I have seen several people pass through phases of distress to phases of ease. People who have been in psychotherapy with me have been from different walks of life, with different belief systems and their own unique difficulties. However there is one thing I see as constant amongst all of them: their ability to deal with their problems-their ability to grow and be happier, irrespective of the nature or intensity of their problems.
This knowledge gives me belief and confidence, both in myself and in those who come to me with difficulties.

At Inner Space she addresses all the queries and concerns about therapy and helps book appointments. With her passion towards mental health and the ability to empathise, she listens to individuals with care and connects them with our therapists. Jinal also handles the social media channels of Inner Space.
Since mental health has always been a taboo in India, when Jinal completed her class 12th she realised that Psychology is one subject that she has to pursue to try and make a difference in the world.
Joining Inner Space was one of her first few steps towards this vision.
She loves learning and experimenting new things on a day-to-day basis. She has previously interned with various organisations to strengthen her skills and expand her horizons. She aspired to become a counselling psychologist and contribute back to the society.
