About Aishwarya

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and a wide range of other concerns such as addictions, grief and self-esteem issues. She speaks English, Hindi and Marathi and accepts international clients.

Aishwarya prefers conversation to lists of credentials. In sessions she focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses a person-centred stance while drawing on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early experiences can shape current patterns.

Her work often includes Attachment-Based perspectives to understand relationship patterns and Motivational Interviewing to help with change-related goals. When trauma is part of the story she uses Trauma-Focused approaches alongside other methods to address difficult memories or reactions.

People come to her for many reasons - parenting strain, career stress, intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue among them. She also supports those dealing with domestic violence, divorce and separation, or chronic illness related stresses.

Sessions move at a pace the client finds manageable. Conversations include reflecting on feelings, exploring relationship dynamics, and setting short-term goals where helpful. Outside work, she paints and practises Kathak dance, activities she says help her process emotion and stay grounded.

How Aishwarya uses key approaches in online work

Aishwarya draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current relationships. This approach helps people notice patterns in how they relate and try different ways of connecting in present-day situations. She also uses a Client-Centred approach, which means sessions focus on the person's own feelings and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk things through and be heard without a rigid agenda. Motivational Interviewing is used when change is on the table, for example with addictions, health behaviours or career moves. This method helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to try something different. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what fits best based on the client's goals, needs and preferences, and adjust as therapy progresses. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings, or opt for a shorter check-in when time is limited.
