Hello!


My name is Amynah Dharani and I am a psychotherapist.


As the host of The Love Vox podcast, I am very excited to welcome you. With each episode, we aim to bring you thought-provoking content that will not only educate but also inspire you to learn more about yourself.


Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible resilience and strength of individuals as they navigate through life’s challenges. But more so, I consider myself a forever student of life. My curiosity about our human self and social existence has led me down many paths of learning – from psychology to philosophy, neuroscience to spirituality.


And it is this ongoing quest for understanding that has motivated me to create The Love Vox – a podcast dedicated to exploring the fascinating complexities of the human condition and finding deeper meaning in the world around us.
