About Maitri
Maitri Dhingra is an ACA counsellor with five years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Maitri also supports those who are struggling with related issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress and isolation.
Her approach is person-centred and trauma-informed. Sessions focus on listening first, then identifying practical steps the client can try between meetings. Maitri encourages people to use their existing strengths while building new coping skills for difficult moments.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and emphasises early intervention and recovery-oriented care. That often means short, focused strategies for managing anxiety and stress, alongside deeper work when people want to explore past hurt or relationship patterns. Maitri blends emotional support with concrete tools for everyday life.
Maitri has worked across clinical, community and corporate settings, which she draws on when addressing work-related stress, caregiver strain or communication problems. She can discuss options for tackling financial worry, midlife uncertainty or immigration-related stress in straightforward terms.
Sessions are offered in English and Hindi. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats before booking and to follow the site process to schedule an initial meeting.
Practical approaches and how online work is organised
Many of the techniques Maitri uses come from well-established, evidence-based practice. Person-centred methods focus on active listening and helping the client name priorities and values; this helps when someone is unsure where to begin or feels overwhelmed by social situations. Trauma-informed approaches pay attention to how past events shape current reactions and aim to reduce reactivity while building coping skills for stress and anxiety.Maitri treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals and try different methods to see what fits. This means decisions about pacing, tools and focus are made together, based on the client’s needs and preferences.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. The therapist will discuss how sessions can be structured to suit practical constraints and therapeutic aims.
