Aishwarya Kulkarni
Supportive counsellor for complex life changes
About Aishwarya
Aishwarya Kulkarni is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings four years of clinical work to conversations about difficult life moments. She aims to make the first contact straightforward and calm, focusing on listening and understanding rather than quick fixes. She speaks English, Hindi and Marathi and offers sessions to people both in the UK and internationally.
Clients can expect a warm and collaborative style. Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable, with space to name emotions and consider how past experiences affect current patterns.
Background and approach
She pays attention to relationship dynamics, attachment concerns and how trauma or loss shows up day to day. Her practice draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person in front of her. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and trauma-focused approaches when past events are still impacting daily life.
Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change behaviours such as substance use or unhealthy habits. Typical concerns brought to sessions include anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, ADHD and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also supports people dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges and grief linked to illness or bereavement.
The sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people clarify what matters, set small goals, and try things between sessions. Her background includes BACP registration, which is listed as BACP.
That credential is noted alongside her clinical experience. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and arranges a session time. Therapy is offered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work online
A client-centred approach puts the person and their experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping them find their own answers and priorities. This method is useful for people who want a respectful, non-directive space to talk.Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences may shape current feelings and relationship patterns. Online sessions can be a place to notice repeated themes, understand where they come from, and then make different choices in daily life. Trauma-focused work focuses on gently processing distressing events and reducing their hold on everyday routines, using careful pacing and techniques suited to each person's needs.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and the therapist works collaboratively to find what fits. She will talk about the options, check how a method feels in practice, and adjust the plan based on the person's goals and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options for different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and are useful when being off-camera feels better. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions, making it easier to keep therapy consistent around work or caring duties.
