About Dr. Pattni
Hello, I’m Dr. Ramesh Pattni
DPhil (Oxford), Existential Psychotherapist and Author. I work with individuals and couples who want to move past coping strategies into authentic living, ethical relating, and purposeful action. My approach integrates existential-phenomenological practice with rigorous Western methods: compassionate presence and measurable progress.

Learn the Existential Way
6-week guided practice
Love Authentically: The Existential Way
Build relationships grounded in choice, responsibility, and meaning.
Over six weeks we work through what it actually takes to love another person without disappearing into them: naming what you want, carrying your share of the responsibility, and staying honest when honesty is uncomfortable.
4-week skills studio
The Courage to Parent Differently
Bring presence, values, and boundaries into everyday parenting.
A short, practical studio for parents who want to stop repeating what was done to them. We look at the values you actually hold, the boundaries that hold them up, and how to stay present with your child on the days that are hardest.
6-week reflective group
Aging Gracefully: The Existential Way
Face finitude with dignity, gratitude, and purpose.
A reflective group for the second half of life. Rather than treating ageing as decline to be managed, we work with what finitude asks of us: what still matters, what can be released, and what a life well lived looks like from here.
