About Aishwarya
Aishwarya Kulkarni is a counsellor who aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward. She has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, and she offers support for concerns such as depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She writes plainly and prefers to meet people in conversation rather than reduce them to a list of problems.
Aishwarya creates a calm, accepting space where clients can speak freely without pressure to have everything figured out.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and collaborative, and she works at a pace set by the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client right now, whether that is managing stress, coping with grief or understanding recurring patterns. She blends client-centred ways of working with psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier experiences affect present life.
Attachment-based thinking also informs her sessions, helping people understand relationship patterns and emotional needs. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when clients want help making changes such as addressing addictions or improving self-care. Aishwarya also supports people with trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping issues, intimacy concerns and career-related stress.
She speaks English, Hindi and Marathi, and she accepts international clients. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Outside therapy she draws on creative practices like painting and Kathak dance to stay grounded.
If a conversational, non-judgemental approach feels right, she encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready.

Online support
She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means the counsellor listens carefully, follows the client’s lead and aims to offer acceptance while clients find their own solutions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Aishwarya will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted over time as priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when eye contact and tone matter, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to work around busy lives and different rhythms while keeping the therapeutic focus consistent.
