Omkar Naik

Founder, Director & Counselling Psychologist

Omkar has spent more than a decade doing the thing he cares about most: helping people make sense of themselves. He founded CINQ.IN with a simple belief — therapy shouldn't feel like a formality or a last resort, but a place where you're genuinely heard. His style is warm, practical and refreshingly un-stuffy; expect honest conversations, the occasional laugh, and small workable steps rather than overwhelming advice.

How Omkar works

Areas of focus and what sessions tend to look like.

Solution-Focused & Humanistic

Rather than only unpacking problems, Omkar helps you notice what's already working and build on it — practical, present-focused and respectful of your pace.

Anxiety & Depression

Support for the low moods, overthinking and burnout that come with modern life, with clear goals and regular check-ins on progress.

Couples & Family

Premarital, marital and family counselling — a balanced space where every side of the story gets heard.

OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

Gentle, structured support for OCD, coordinated with psychiatric care at CINQ.IN when needed.

“You don't have to arrive at therapy with the right words. Figuring out the words is part of the work — and you don't have to do it alone.”

A relaxed conversation — not an interrogation. He'll ask what brings you in, what you've already tried, and what a good outcome would look like for you. Together you'll sketch a direction for the work ahead.

Does Omkar see couples and families?

Yes. Premarital, marital and family sessions are a significant part of his practice, alongside individual therapy.

Online or in person?

Both. He meets clients in person at the Baner clinic and online across India and abroad.
