About Aishwarya

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' clinical experience. She supports people facing common early-adult pressures such as relationship strain, anxiety, stress and career concerns, as well as longer standing issues like trauma, addiction and mood difficulties. She works in English and also speaks Hindi and Marathi.

Aishwarya prefers straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and the patterns that keep turning up. She uses a person-centred stance while drawing on psychodynamic thinking to consider how earlier experiences affect present life. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or trying to shift behaviour.

Her style is collaborative and paced by the client. People who feel overwhelmed by work, study or new responsibilities often come to talk through relationship problems, identity questions, grief or difficulties with sleep and eating. She also supports people dealing with ADHD related concerns, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Aishwarya lists additional focus areas including attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress. She also works with people affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation, and those coping with serious illness in themselves or a loved one.

To begin a working relationship she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Aishwarya uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current expectations and reactions. This approach helps when intimacy, abandonment or trust issues keep repeating in new relationships and life transitions.

She also works in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on the client’s present concerns and priorities. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change behaviour or make a difficult decision; it helps clarify values and build commitment without pressure.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree on a way forward. That collaborative selection can change over time as needs shift.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around study, work and travel schedules, and having shorter check-ins when time is limited. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so arrangements match your daily routine and technical setup.
