“My experience & passion for healing & growth are the unique gifts I offer to my clients and students.”

Taanya has always enjoyed working with people and has excellent interpersonal skills. Her passion for helping people and a deep longing to study the mind, body & spirit connection led her to study Counselling professionally. She was able to now return to her heart’s desire and work towards making a difference in people’s lives. She had a burning desire to get out there and help the underdog. She began searching for the deeper truths of life and started meditating at an early age of sixteen. She is an avid reader and particularly likes biographies & self-empowerment books.

Stepping into her Spiritual Purpose

At the age of 30, after much reflection, Taanya resigned from her secure and well paid job with Telstra. She turned towards manifesting her spiritual purpose in this lifetime and found Holistic Living Counselling. It was time. After successfully completing her Diploma in Counselling, Taanya continued her growth by training in Reiki 1, 2 & 3, Advanced Pranic Healing, Meditation Teaching, Colour Therapy, Anger & stress management, Inner Child healing etc. She feels that it’s an ongoing journey and there is lots to learn. After successfully completing Reiki 1, 2 and 3 and finally growing to be a Reiki Master and teacher, she has also added to her professional expertise by achieving an MA degree in counselling psychology in 1st Division. She is also involved in voluntary work for the AIWC (All India Women’s Conference) that aims at supporting and empowering the destitute women of India.

Taanya Nagi is regularly invited by NGOs, community organisations, schools & colleges to conduct talks, interactive workshops and awareness programmes on emotional wellbeing, mental health, relationships, personal growth and holistic healing.

Taanya has been counselling and teaching meditations and running workshops for over 22 years now. She is currently living in India but frequently visits Australia & Dubai for ongoing training and running workshops.

My Vision

“Committed to helping people heal, reach their full potential and lead authentic empowered lives.”

Oh Spirit in me, come to fore,

As I grow stronger, more and more.

To display God’s love for one and all,

For all creatures, great and small.

As I follow what’s meant to be,

To help and heal humanity.

As I create, listen, and be led,

I await the love and joy ahead.

— Taanya Nagi

From the Doctors Hub interview

Why did you choose psychology as your career?

I chose psychology because I’ve always been fascinated by the intricacies of the human mind and behaviour. Understanding the complexities of individuals and helping them navigate their challenges is not only intellectually stimulating but also incredibly rewarding. I was also interested in the mind–body connection, which led me to study holistic healing and other modalities such as Bach Flower Remedies, Reiki, clinical hypnotherapy, NLP and IEMT.

What are the challenges of being a psychologist?

Balancing emotional involvement with professional detachment, and managing the emotional toll that some cases can take, are common challenges.

What is the hardest part of being a psychologist?

The most challenging aspect is witnessing individuals struggle and not always being able to provide immediate solutions. It requires patience and perseverance.
