Founder & Lead Psychologist
Meet Our Founder
Lt. Col. Rajesh Sharma (Retd.)
Post Graduate in Clinical Psychology and Clinical Hypnotherapy (Gold Medalist)| Registered with the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP)
I’m the founder of Chaitanya Raj, a psychotherapy, psychological counselling, and hypnotherapy centre in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, devoted to helping people overcome past trauma, psychological barriers, and fears, so they can lead fulfilling, satisfying lives.
A Journey Rooted in Service
From military service to clinical psychology
A lifetime of understanding people, behaviour, and resilience.
My years in the Indian Army shaped how I think about wellbeing. Keeping soldiers physically and mentally strong was never optional, it was essential to getting the best out of them. That experience sparked a lifelong interest in psychology, theology, and behavioural philosophy, which eventually became a full career in clinical psychology and hypnotherapy. I am registered with the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP), India’s statutory body governing allied and healthcare professionals.
Since then, I’ve worked as a psychologist and counsellor with a wide range of individuals, including doctors, corporate professionals, business owners, homemakers, sports professionals, and students, through personal consultations and group sessions.
Over the years, this work has grown to include organisations as well, delivering corporate wellness programs, employee assistance programs, workshops, and leadership coaching to help teams and businesses across Navi Mumbai address the mental and emotional challenges that get in the way of growth and performance.
Understanding the work
What is psychotherapy, and why does it matter?
Childhood experiences, whether lived firsthand or absorbed from those around us, often leave a deeper mark than we realise.
These moments get pushed aside as we grow up, but they don't disappear. They can quietly shape our sleep, our patience, our reactions, and our relationships well into adulthood.
The same patterns can follow people into their working lives, showing up as stress, conflict, or burnout.
Psychotherapy creates space to bring these patterns into the light and work through them at their root.
A central belief
Healing is possible
With the right support, it is possible to move past old experiences and build a life that feels genuinely healthy and sustainable.
This belief sits at the centre of everything we do at Chaitanya Raj. Our work is about creating the space, structure, and support needed to understand what is happening beneath the surface and move forward with greater clarity.
Our approach
Different people need different ways forward.
At Chaitanya Raj, we draw on a range of psychological methods and hypnotherapy techniques to help individuals work through conflict, understand difficult emotions, and develop healthier patterns.
