Aishwarya Kulkarni, BACP

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a counsellor trained with a BACP credential and four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She prefers meeting people in conversation and aims to build a calm space where clients can lower their guard. Her style is warm, collaborative and paced to the person in front of her.

She focuses on a wide range of concerns, including midlife crisis, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions. She also helps people facing career strain, grief, anger, eating and sleeping difficulties, and neurodiversity-related challenges such as ADHD and autism. Her work addresses intimacy and self-esteem issues as well as practical life adjustments that follow major changes.

Aishwarya draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people feel heard and understood. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to look at recurring patterns and past hurts. In sessions she aims to balance gentle exploration with practical steps people can try between meetings.

She offers therapy in English, Hindi and Marathi. International clients are accepted. Sessions are arranged through the service's scheduling system, and costs use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability. She welcomes contact when someone feels ready to start the conversation.

How her approaches translate to online work

Aishwarya uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This can be useful for difficulties with intimacy, trust or persistent relationship patterns.

She also follows a client-centred way of working that prioritises listening and understanding. That approach helps people feel heard and guides the pacing of sessions so topics are explored at a comfortable speed.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck. It focuses on clarifying personal goals, exploring mixed feelings and building motivation for practical steps forward.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method. This helps tailor sessions to issues like grief, trauma or career transitions.

Session arrangements and specific online formats should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, avoiding travel time and choosing a quieter setting that suits you. Online work can make it easier to attend regularly and try small steps between meetings, but please check which session options are available before you schedule.
