About Aishwarya
Counsellor and BACP member, Aishwarya Kulkarni has four years' experience working with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues and trauma. She works in the United Kingdom and offers support in English, Hindi and Marathi. People come to her for help with addiction, grief, stress, self-esteem and other life changes.
Aishwarya works from a person-centred foundation while also drawing on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas. In practice she listens to what matters most to each person and helps them notice patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing. Sessions focus on what the client brings, with space to look at how earlier relationships might still influence current choices.
She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what they want to change and to consider practical steps towards those goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is a central concern, aimed at making memories easier to talk about and understand. These approaches are used alongside conversational work about communication, boundaries and day-to-day coping.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the client's comfort. Aishwarya aims to be direct and clear about options, while adapting the pace if someone needs more time to reflect. Practical matters such as sleep, eating, parenting stress and career worries are common topics in her work.
Outside of her practice she enjoys painting with pastels and acrylics and Kathak dance. These interests inform how she thinks about emotion and movement in people's lives.
How Aishwarya uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Aishwarya draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people who notice repeating difficulties in close relationships and want to understand emotional needs and responses. Client-centred work means sessions are guided by the client's concerns and pace, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters most. Motivational interviewing is used to support people who want to make changes; it focuses on building readiness and identifying small, practical steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Aishwarya will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That discussion is collaborative and may lead to combining approaches as needs change over time.
