About Aishwarya
Aishwarya Kulkarni is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She prefers meeting people in conversation and aims to create a calm space where clients can stop holding everything together. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she moves at a pace that suits each person.
She uses a person-centred foundation and draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early life experiences can shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and trauma-focused work supports recovery after upsetting or harmful events. These approaches are used flexibly to match what a person brings into the room. Aishwarya commonly supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictive behaviours.
She also works with concerns such as self-esteem, anger, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career-related stress. LGBT issues are listed among her areas of focus. She speaks English, Hindi and Marathi, which can help clients who prefer those languages.
Sessions are arranged through the platform process and scheduled according to availability. Costs vary by location and run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Outside work she paints in pastels and acrylics and practises Kathak dance, activities she says help her stay connected to emotion and creativity.
To start, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then books a time that suits them.

Therapy approaches and how they work online
Aishwarya draws on attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working in her practice. Attachment-based methods look at how early bonds shape current relationships and help people understand recurring patterns in how they relate to others. Client-centred work focuses on following the person's lead, listening closely, and offering an accepting space so they can make sense of their experience.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel unsure about change. That approach uses gentle, practical conversations to help build motivation and set small achievable steps towards goals. Together these methods can address relationship issues, low self-esteem, addiction, anxiety, depression and the aftermath of trauma.
Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. The therapist discusses options with each person and adapts sessions to their goals, comfort and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise exploring past patterns, focusing on present strengths, or working on motivation for change.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use video, phone or other arrangements depending on what's offered, and the format is chosen to suit practical needs and therapeutic aims.
