Reinventing Mental Health
Counselling, Psychotherapy and Mental Wellbeing
Who are we?
At Anandoham Health, we are dedicated to harmonising Western counselling practices with the richness of Bharatiya culture, offering a unique blend of mental and spiritual health services.
Humans are innately 'Anandam,' or 'Blissful.' Our mission is to awaken this inherent bliss through a combination of psychotherapy and Vedic counselling.
Our Approach
Integrated Therapy: This approach is tailored to the individual, drawing on various therapeutic modalities such as CBT, PCT, ACT, and Gestalt therapy, among others. We adapt the therapy to best suit your unique needs and promote holistic well-being.
Vedic Therapy: Rooted in the ancient psychology of the Vedic tradition, this approach focuses on the inherent qualities of the individual rather than just the primary thought processes. We utilize concepts deeply ingrained in Bharatiya consciousness—Guna, Karma, Bandhana, Moksha, Janma, Kala, and Samsara—to offer a therapeutic experience that resonates with our lived realities.
Counselling Psychologist
Devdarshan Bastola GMBPsS
From the remote village of the Sikkim Himalayas, Dev was born into a Agro-pastoral Community. He began his educational journey at Rishivalley School before pursuing a BSc in Biomedical Science at the University of Manchester. He later obtained an MSc in Psychology from ARU Cambridge, followed by an advanced diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. He is also a member of the British Psychological Society. Currently, Devdarshan practices as a Counselling Psychologist in Gangtok and provides online Zoom therapy sessions as well.
As the founder of Anandoham Health, Devdarshan has developed a distinctive approach to psychotherapy by integrating his deep knowledge of Vedanta and Yoga. With over eight years of experience teaching these ancient principles, he pioneered Dev's Vedic Therapy (DVT). This therapeutic modality is designed for members of the Sanatana diaspora and others who connect with concepts such as Karma, Guna, and Samsara. In addition, Devdarshan leads weekly guided meditation sessions, where he teaches correct breathing techniques, ancient Yogic meditation practices, and the understanding of Dharma.
Why Anandoham Health?
The concepts of Karma, Bandhana, Moksha, Janma, Kala, and Samsara are not merely philosophical ideas but lived experiences for us. At Anandoham Health, we embrace these realities to guide our therapy, offering an approach that is both culturally relevant and spiritually enriching. We believe it is time to reclaim our own rationalities in the therapeutic process. Our Vedic Therapy has already shown transformative results.
