Individual counselling

About

A safe, one on one, non-judgmental space to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings, aimed at reducing distress and helping you reach your fullest potential.

My approach

At the heart of my work is a trauma-focused, attachment-based lens. I believe that many of our struggles — trace back to early experiences that shaped how we learned to connect and cope.
I take a holistic approach that takes your cultural background, identity, and lived experience seriously.

Trauma

Trauma informed, attachment based counselling for sitting with developmental trauma, abuse, PTSD, and the quiet but lasting impact of experiences that left you feeling unsafe, unseen, or alone.

Anxiety, stress and worry

Counselling for the racing thoughts, the constant worry, the feeling that something is always about to go wrong. Whether it is panic or chronic stress, we work on regulating it, and slowly loosening its grip

Life transitions

Moving homes, changing careers, occupational stress, becoming a parent, losing a sense of direction. Transitions — even positive ones, can quietly unravel us. This is a space to find your footing again.

Self

Low self-esteem, self-worth, identity questions, people-pleasing, anger, and the ongoing work of understanding who you are beneath the roles you play for everyone else

Occupational stress

Burnout, workplace anxiety, career pressure, and the toll that overworking takes on your sense of self and your relationships. You are more than your productivity.

“Success as a therapist is not found in doing something for the client, but rather in BEING something for the client.” – Ili Rivera Walter

I had a few issues I needed to work through, but the idea of seeking therapy seemed very uncomfortable. I was afraid I will be judged and called crazy and the last thing I needed was someone to treat me for topics like depression. Over the years I tried to repress my feelings and thoughts and tried to work it out myself until I reached my breaking point this year. I reached out to Vaishnavi with no expectations, especially because it was all over the phone. The last few months had proven me wrong consistently as I could address even the littlest things that worried me. Things have improved so much at home and also at work and it’s all because of her. I wish I called sooner.

I highly recommend Vaishnavi. She is kind, compassionate and always listens to her patients. She is a professional in her work; though busy she always finds time to accommodate and prioritize her patient’s needs. If you are looking for a place where you don’t want to feel judged or uncomfortable I would highly suggest you choose Vaishnavi.

Vaishnavi was very understanding of my situation and offered to help immediately. She was considerate of my schedule and hence was flexible with the timings. Sessions with her helped me get more clarity on the situation and identify the places I needed to work on within myself. She is a great listener and guided me to arrive at useful conclusions. I’d definitely recommend her to people known to me, who are in times of distress.
