Karthika Neduveli , ACA

Karthika Neduveli is an ACA counsellor with 10 years' experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more able to cope. Karthika aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what feels hard and work out small next steps.

Karthika believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths. She listens with curiosity and helps uncover what is getting in the way of feeling more confident. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, with a focus on usefulness rather than jargon.

Her work often involves grounding and mindfulness skills to manage overwhelming feelings. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and build actions that matter. Attachment-focused conversations are used when early relationships affect current patterns such as abandonment or codependency.

Karthika has supported people through grief, relationship endings, domestic violence, chronic illness and dissociation. She also works with issues such as body image, guilt and shame, isolation and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to make difficult problems feel more manageable and to expand what is possible day-to-day.

People can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with practical techniques. Karthika helps set realistic goals and reviews progress along the way. The emphasis is on steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

How Karthika uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful when worries or low mood stop someone doing things that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from early relationships and how they show up now in areas like abandonment, codependency or trust. It helps people understand those patterns and try new ways of relating. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the hold traumatic memories and reactions have on day-to-day life through paced, stabilising techniques and processing work when the person is ready.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Karthika will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions around that collaboration. Plans are reviewed as progress is made, so the mix of techniques can change to suit the person's needs.

Online therapy with Karthika is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and chat or messaging fits quick check-ins or writing-based reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep contact between sessions when needed.
