About Aishwarya
Aishwarya Kulkarni is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with adults on concerns including relationships, parenting, trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions and grief. She also helps with intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, stress and work-related strain.
Aishwarya frames sessions around the person in front of her. She prefers straightforward conversation over jargon and aims to listen first. Sessions move at a steady pace so people can name what feels difficult without pressure.
Her background draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and keeps the focus on the client's own perspective. She also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches when helpful to look at repeated relationship patterns and the emotional impact of painful events.
Practical work such as motivational interviewing appears alongside reflective talking. This mix is intended to help people notice unhelpful habits and try small changes. Aishwarya describes her way of working as collaborative and paced by what each person can manage.
She speaks English, Hindi and Marathi. She accepts international clients and is based in the United Kingdom. Outside of clinical work she paints and dances Kathak, activities she says help her stay connected to her own feelings.
How sessions work
Working online with attachment and trauma approaches
Aishwarya commonly draws on attachment-based work and trauma-focused therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions, which can help with relationship problems and parenting stress. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process painful events and reduce their ongoing emotional impact, which can be useful for those coping with abuse, loss or unexpected crisis.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit the person's goals and comfort. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time as priorities change.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to schedule around work, childcare or travel. Other benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and the ability to avoid camera use if someone prefers a phone conversation, all of which can help therapy fit into a busy home routine.
