Aishwarya Kulkarni, BACP

Aishwarya Kulkarni brings four years of practice to her counselling work in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and prefers meeting people in conversation rather than summarising them on a page. Her style aims to create a calm space where people can let down their guard and talk about what matters without feeling they must have it all together.

Aishwarya describes her way of working as warm and collaborative, paced to the client's comfort. She draws on client-centred ideas to keep the focus on the person in front of her. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to gently look at how earlier experiences may shape current patterns of feeling and relating.

She commonly helps people with emotional struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and concerns around relationships, intimacy and self-esteem. She also works with issues including addictions, bipolar, stress, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and career and life transitions. Additional focuses include attachment and codependency patterns, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and coping after separation.

Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Marathi, and Aishwarya accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are supplied through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a reader is invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Outside work she paints and practices Kathak dance, which she says help her process emotion and stay connected to what feels alive. If her approach resonates, prospective clients are encouraged to reach out when they feel ready.

How Aishwarya’s approaches translate to online counselling

Aishwarya uses client-centred therapy to keep the focus on each person's experience. That means conversations are guided by what the person brings, with the counsellor reflecting feelings and priorities to help clarify what matters most. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and coping with life change.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships and patterns can influence present behaviour and emotions. This can help people who want to understand recurring patterns in relationships, attachment or emotional responses. Additionally, trauma-focused thinking is used when past painful events affect day-to-day functioning, offering ways to address those impacts gently and at a pace the client can manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be revisited as therapy progresses to make sure it still fits.

Practical benefits of online counselling often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, and the option to meet without travel. Because the original profile does not specify session formats, confirm the current online and in-person options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their use of these approaches to suit a range of everyday circumstances and time constraints.
