Hi, I’m Deeksha Upadhyay, a psychospiritual scientist and eclectic therapist.
With 7+ years of experience, my approach fuses modern psychology with ancient wisdom, bridging the mind, energy, and consciousness to create holistic wellness plans tailored to each individual. I also integrate behavioral psychotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), sports psychology, and parenting strategies into deeply transformative therapy. As the founder of UpLife, I have facilitated 80+ workshops and 6,500+ sessions, guiding individuals through emotional unblocking, mindset shifts, and inner alignment. Therapy with me isn’t just about healing—it’s about awakening your fullest potential by balancing science and spirituality.
Let's co-create a path toward deep, lasting transformation.

Smriti Agrawal
Lead Psychologist
UpLife
Hello, I’m Smriti Agrawal, a passionate and empathetic psychologist who believes in the unique strengths each individual carries. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology (Clinical and Counselling Practice) from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai.
My approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to your unique needs. I work from a trauma-informed lens and draw from various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic and Narrative approaches, as well as solution-focused and strengths-based techniques. I am also a queer-affirmative and neurodivergent-friendly practitioner.
Therapy for me is a powerful space where people can formulate their own stories, build emotional resilience, and move toward meaningful change. I believe therapy holds the potential to help you feel grounded in your self-worth, make informed choices, and navigate life with more clarity and self-compassion. Through the therapeutic space, I hope to offer you the deep knowing that "I am not alone in this." You deserve to be heard, to feel safe, and to be met with empathy and understanding.
