Trauma-informed and gender-affirming counsellor and executive coach, partnering clients to live intentional, fulfilling lives.
Juggling multiple roles, including that of a mother to a teenager, expat trailing spouse, third-culture adult, corporate woman of color, friend, and more, I have experienced firsthand the power of self-awareness, healthy relationships, and second chances in navigating the roller coaster of life.
As a Psychotherapist and Performance Coach, I bring learnings from these experiences, and my therapeutic toolkit draws from evidence-based therapies like CBT, EMDR, The Gottman Method, SFBT, Brainspotting, IFS, Chairwork, and more.
I offer both in-person and online sessions in English and Hindi.
Languages: English, Hindi
The corporate world is both exciting and tough.
With over 20 years of corporate work experience across industries, I partner with founders, CEOs, people leaders, and sole contributors, meeting them where they are in their unique personal journeys to decode, unblock, and enable their work and personal lives.
“The quality of our relationships defines the quality of our lives.” – Esther Perel.
My work with couples and families includes teaching skills to repair conflicts in healthy and effective ways.
Enjoying activities with our loved ones is one way to deepen bonds and make relationships more resilient.
My life philosophy is rooted in Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese Zen concept that challenges the endless pursuit of perfection, inspires us to accept ourselves fully, and reminds us that change is constant and that transitions can bring new opportunities. Wabi-Sabi helps me live mindfully in the present.

I've been with Ruchira Raj for nearly 7 months now and have had a lovely experience with her so far. She creates a safe, non-judgemental space for her clients to voice their troubles and does a brilliant job of navigating them through their journey of self-improvement and healing. I especially love that she's gentle yet not afraid to challenge me! In my time with her, I've discovered areas of my life that are connected which I hadn't noticed before - and am excited to continue working on myself with her guidance. Finding a therapist whom one aligns with is often a trial-and-error process for many, and I feel so fortunate that I lucked out with Ruchira on my first try ☺️ I also must commend that the InContact team has efficient processes in place, right from client outreach, to booking appointments, to making payments ❤️
I had the privilege of working with Ruch as my discernment therapist, and her guidance has been truly transformative. She provided a safe and compassionate space for me and my spouse to navigate our challenges, and her insights were invaluable in steering us onto the right path. Ruch has a unique ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions, helping us uncover what truly matters and what we need to work on. Her practical advice and thoughtful approach have given us clarity and a renewed sense of direction. Thanks to Ruch, my spouse and I now feel more connected, empowered, and equipped to face the future together. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking a therapist who genuinely cares and makes a lasting impact.
Yes. Ruchira provided some clarity and helped me feel more validated in my feelings and confident in my decisions. I appreciate that she was structured in her approach and I felt that we wasted no time and were working towards something tangible from the get-go. I also appreciated that she provided her objective opinions on me and my partner's situation since we sought discernment counselling. Overall, my experience with Ruchira was helpful and fruitful. Thank you once again, Ruch!
