About Anya
“A child’s play is their language; our presence is the conversation.”
Hi, I’m Anya Reddy
I’m a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist and PCI® Certified Parent Coach, based in Bengaluru, offering sessions both in person and online.
I support children, parents, and families in building emotional resilience, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful, lasting change—especially during periods of stress, transition, or emotional overwhelm.
My work brings together trauma-informed play therapy and strengths-based parent coaching, offering a collaborative and nurturing space where emotions can be safely explored and families can reconnect to calm, confidence, and connection.
Who I Work With
I work with families navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including:
Emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or grief
Behavioural or regulation challenges in children
Parenting stress, burnout, or self-doubt
Major life transitions such as divorce, relocation, or becoming a new parent
Emotional challenges related to learning differences or neurodiversity
My approach is always attuned, respectful, and tailored to each family’s unique context.
How I Support Families
Play Therapy for Children (Ages 3 - 17)
Children express their inner world through play—their most natural language.
As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, I use developmentally appropriate tools such as sand trays, art, movement, storytelling, and symbolic play to help children process big feelings and build emotional regulation skills.
I support children experiencing:
Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty regulating
Aggression, trauma, grief, or loss
Transitions such as school changes or shifts within the family
Each session is relationally attuned, emotionally safe, and grounded in connection—supporting children to build resilience, confidence, and emotional clarity.

Parent Coaching (PCI® Coaching Model™)
Parenting can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re trying to parent consciously and differently from how you were raised.
Through structured, strengths-based Parent Coaching, I support caregivers to:
Reconnect with their values and inner resources
Navigate daily stress with more clarity and calm
Respond with empathy, confidence, and emotional intelligence
This work is not about “fixing” your child. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, capable, and connected in your parenting.

Support for Expecting and New Parents
Welcoming a child brings profound emotional and relational shifts.
I support individuals and couples as they navigate identity changes, strengthen their partnership, and prepare emotionally for early parenthood—offering a reflective space to pause, process, and plan.

How I Work
I believe meaningful change happens in safe, attuned relationships.
My practice is:
LGBTQIA+ affirming
Neurodiversity-affirming
Trauma-informed and culturally sensitive
I’m committed to ethical, reflective practice through:
Regular clinical supervision with a registered play therapy supervisor
Ongoing personal therapy to stay emotionally grounded
Continuous professional development, including advanced trainings and conferences
Every session is guided by presence, authenticity, and deep respect for each client’s lived experience.
Beyond Private Practice
In addition to my private practice, I work as a Consultant Parent Coach with Humm Care, a healthcare organisation supporting working parents across companies such as Google, Accenture, and Wipro.
Through this role, I offer:
Webinars on parenting and emotional wellbeing
One-on-one Parent Coaching sessions
This work supports families in building emotional resilience, strengthening connection, and finding balance between work and home life.
What I Believe
Children don’t need to be fixed — they need to be felt.
Parents don’t need to be perfect — they need support.
Play is a child’s language.
Connection is the medicine.
We heal in safe relationships. Always.
