Hi! I’m Anya Reddy

Certified PCI Parent Coach® & Synergetic Play Therapist

📍 Based in Bengaluru | Available Online & at Barton Centre

I’m passionate about helping children, parents, and families build emotional resilience, develop meaningful connections, and make lasting changes. My work combines Synergetic Play Therapy, a trauma-informed approach, with strengths-based Parent Coaching to create a nurturing space where both children and caregivers can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I specialize in supporting families through emotional overwhelm, behavioral challenges, anxiety, grief, trauma, transitions, and everyday parenting stress. Whether we are helping children express themselves through play therapy or guiding parents toward emotional regulation and connection, our work begins with building strong, trusting relationships.

What I Offer: Play Therapy & Parent Coaching

🧸 Play Therapy for Children (Ages 3–17)

Through the natural language of play, I use tools like sand trays, art, movement, and metaphor to I help children explore and express emotions that are difficult to verbalize. As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, I have witnessed the effectiveness of Play Therapy in helping children manage trauma, aggression, anxiety, loss, and life transitions. These sessions are developmentally appropriate and focused on helping children develop emotional regulation and coping strategies. 👉🏽 Learn More About Play Therapy

🤰 Support for Expecting Parents

Pregnancy and early parenting can be both exciting and overwhelming. I provide support for expecting parents, guiding individuals and couples through role exploration, aligning values, and preparing emotionally and practically for the transition into parenthood.
