About Maitri
Maitri Dhingra is an ACA counsellor with five years' experience working in Australia across clinical, community and corporate settings. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Maitri focuses on early intervention and recovery-oriented care for those in emotional distress.
Maitri uses a person-centred, trauma-informed approach. She prioritises listening and helping people make sense of what is happening to them. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with time spent on coping strategies and clear next steps.
She sees people who want to address relationship issues and attachment concerns, including problems with communication, jealousy and infidelity. She also supports people coping with body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and the emotional effects of immigration or disaster.
Maitri pays attention to the everyday pressures of life - money worries, career and study stress, and the search for life purpose. Conversations often include problem solving, boundaries and managing control issues so daily life is easier to handle.
She speaks English and Hindi. The therapist asks people to start with a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment to clarify goals and what practical steps will help most. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and pricing varies by location.
Approaches and how online sessions can fit your life
Person-centred work focuses on listening and building from the client's strengths. It helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain and wants collaborative, respectful sessions that centre their experiences.Trauma-informed care pays attention to how past events affect current feelings and reactions. This approach emphasises safety in pacing, recognition of triggers and practical strategies for reducing overwhelm, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship problems and trauma recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods match goals, preferences and daily life demands. That collaboration means plans can be adjusted as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or caregiving schedules. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments and remove the need to be on camera for every appointment if that helps. These practical benefits often make it simpler to keep regular appointments and work through issues steadily.
