Counselling & psychotherapy
The Grounded
Space
A safe space to be vulnerable, and to be yourself.
I'm Antara Bezbarua. I founded The Grounded Space to work with people going through mental health struggles — to offer emotional support and therapy. I work online across India, and in person in Guwahati.
I believe every individual has the right to freely express their emotions and thoughts without hesitation — and I aim to create that safe haven.
Mental health is equally important as physical health, and both work together. It is crucial to seek help for mental health concerns at the right time, as you would for physical health.
This is a safe space to be vulnerable and be yourself. I use evidence-based and client-centred approaches, each tailored to your needs and expectations.
Any of this sound familiar?
Are you the one everyone leans on, with nowhere to put your own weight down?
Does rest feel like something you have to earn first?
Do you rewrite conversations in your head at two in the morning?
Have you been fine for so long you have lost track of what you actually feel?
Do you apologise for taking up space?
Is something from years ago still quietly running things?
Are you doing everything right and still feeling hollow?
Are you waiting for a bigger reason before you ask for help?
If one of those landed a bit close — taking the first step is the most important part, and I am here for you in that journey.
Every person has a story to share. I will facilitate you in yours, and help you become a healthier version of yourself.

Antara Bezbarua
Chief Counselling Psychologist · She / Her · Guwahati, Assam
Hey there, I'm Antara Bezbarua and I am the Chief Counselling Psychologist at The Grounded Space. I have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Handique Girls’ College, Guwahati and Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Jain University, Bangalore with an experience spanning over 5 years.
I follow a person-centered and eclectic approach with my focus aligning towards CBT, DBT, REBT, art therapy and mindfulness. I am passionate about helping people with mental health issues by creating a safe and secure space where they can feel heard, free and be vulnerable.
My vision behind The Grounded Space was to help clients with mental health and guide them towards self discovery and healthy wellbeing. I believe in creating a grounded and healthy space for my clients to help them express their emotions and distress through empathy and non-judgmental support. I believe on two things mainly in my therapy room — trust and honesty — which is crucial for a healthy therapeutic journey.

How it works
Three steps, and you can stop after any of them.
01
Write in
Use the form below and say as little as you like. It comes straight to me, nobody else.
02
A free first call
Twenty minutes to talk it through and see whether I feel like the right person for you. Plenty of people stop here, and that is completely fine.
03
First session
An intake form comes first — it is mandatory — then we begin online via Google Meet, or in person in Guwahati. Your consent is necessary to start.
How I work
I aim to create a very warm and safe space for you to express yourself. I will facilitate and guide you through this therapeutic journey. I firmly believe that you are solely the captain of your own ship — my responsibility is to bring the balance and direction.
I follow a client-centred and holistic approach, emphasising your self-growth and healing. Mental health healing is for everyone, and I believe you should prioritise your mental wellbeing at the right time.
Two things hold my room up: trust and honesty. That is the baseline for a healthy therapeutic journey.
Stories. Sharing. Space.
Online sessions
Weekly, via Google Meet. I send the link prior to the session.

A few questions
The practical things, answered plainly.
How much does a session cost?
Sessions are ₹800 for 50–60 minutes, once a week. The first call is free and lasts about 20 minutes. Getting in touch commits you to nothing.
Are sessions online or in person?
Sessions are held online via Google Meet, and I send the link prior to the session. In-person sessions are in Guwahati. You can say which you prefer when you write in.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes. Your responses in the counselling sessions are completely confidential. Nothing here is shared with anyone, except where the law requires it — for example if someone is in immediate danger.
What is the first session like?
First there is a free 20-minute call. If we continue, an intake form is provided before counselling begins — it is mandatory to fill. Your consent is necessary to start. Sessions are then 50–60 minutes, once a week.
What if I need to cancel?
If you cannot attend, please inform me within 24 hours. Last-moment cancellations will not be appreciated.
Who do you work with, and in which languages?
I work with teens and adults, ages 13 to 40, individually. If you are under 18, a parent's consent is needed. Sessions can be in English, Assamese or Hindi.
Write to me
Taking the first step is the most important part. I read every message myself and usually reply within a day with a few times for a free intro call. Getting in touch commits you to nothing.
