Hello, I’m Darshana, a counselling psychologist who believes that therapy is not about having all the answers but at its heart, a space where one can slow down, make sense of what they are experiencing, and understand oneself with a little more kindness. In my practice, I work with adolescents and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, persistent stress, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, work-related stress and burnout, self-doubt, and difficulties with emotional regulation and coping. You may also reach out when there isn’t a single, clearly defined problem but you feel stuck, disconnected from yourself, or unsure about what you want and where to go from here. We can start with what feels most present for you right now and work from there. My therapeutic work draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and positive psychology, alongside other evidence-informed techniques adapted to the individual. Depending on what brings you to therapy, we may work on understanding unhelpful thought patterns, developing healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions, strengthening coping skills, exploring personal values, building self-compassion, or making sense of recurring patterns in relationships and everyday life. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we can be curious about what is happening beneath the surface and work towards changes that are meaningful to you. Your pace, context, and lived experience matter. My aim is to create a warm, confidential, culturally sensitive and non-judgemental space where you can speak honestly, ask difficult questions, and gradually develop a deeper understanding of yourself. If you feel that this approach resonates with you, you're welcome to book a session. We can take it one conversation at a time.
