About

Hi, I am Damini. I am a counselling psychologist and a movement specialist based in Delhi, working offline and online.

After benefiting a lot from personal therapy, I changed careers in my 30s, and trained as a psychologist. Read more about my counseling approach to see if it's a fit for you. 

In my 20s and early 30s, when I was struggling with stress and burnout, I also found that I loved strength training. It helped me manage anxiety and depression and I felt great after classes. I was fascinated and inspired by my trainer, and got certified as a fitness trainer. I now teach small group classes, with personalized attention and customized exercises, to suit each person's unique needs. My work is to make it possible for everyone to take part in strength training - any age, gender, body shape, weight, with all the imperfections and limitations of our bodies, and in a way we can sustainably fit into our lives. Starting off with the name Feminist Trainer, with the help of my clients, I continue on the journey of keeping my work aligned with my values of social justice and intersectional feminism.

I also offer a holistic package where counseling and exercise go hand-in-hand to support you in making changes in your life. Learn more. 

As someone who has always relied upon my friends and family, living away from home taught me the importance of community. My interest in groups began when I personally benefited from attending a support group. Now that I am back in Delhi, I am facilitating support and therapy groups for anyone who needs it.
