Aishwarya Kulkarni , BACP

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a counsellor with four years' experience working with people on a wide range of life challenges. She welcomes conversations that start small and focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Aishwarya uses a warm, collaborative style and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and humane.

She draws on a client-centred foundation, combining it with psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier experiences shape current patterns. That helps when people want to understand repeated relationship themes, attachment worries, or long-standing habits that no longer feel useful.

Her practice includes work on trauma and abuse, addictions, anxiety and depression, grief, sexual and intimacy-related issues, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with career strain, caregiver stress, eating and sleeping problems, and the emotional effects of illness or bereavement.

Aishwarya speaks English, Hindi and Marathi, and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She uses a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs.

Her approach is paced by each person's comfort and goals. Conversations begin with what feels urgent, and then move at a careful pace to explore values, relationships and practical steps people can try between sessions.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Aishwarya commonly uses client-centred work which centres the conversation on the person's own priorities and pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings, improve self-esteem or decide on next steps in relationships.

She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring relationship patterns and early influences that shape present behaviour. Those approaches are helpful for people who want to understand why certain responses repeat, or who want to repair closeness and boundaries over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will discuss the best fit based on each person's goals, comfort and life situation, and will adjust methods as the relationship develops.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
