Aishwarya Kulkarni , BACP

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a UK-based psychotherapist who brings a gentle, conversational style to her work and prefers meeting people in dialogue rather than reducing their experience to a single paragraph. She frames therapy not as a process of fixing but as the creation of a space where a person can lay down what they have been carrying - a place to be messy, uncertain, and still feel seen and accepted.

Her practice is warm, collaborative, and paced according to each person’s comfort. She works from a person-centered foundation and draws on emotion-focused, narrative, and systems approaches, using transactional analysis particularly in couple work. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to explore how early life experiences may shape present patterns and relationships. These influences allow her to tailor conversations to the concerns a person brings and to help make sense of recurring patterns.

Outside of her clinical role she returns to creative practices such as painting with pastels and acrylics and to Kathak dance - activities that help her move emotion through the body and reconnect with what feels alive. If something in this description resonates, Aishwarya welcomes contact whenever someone feels ready to begin a conversation.

Approaches in online therapy with Aishwarya Kulkarni

Aishwarya uses client-centered work to create a supportive space where the person’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions - this approach is helpful for people seeking acceptance, clarity, and self-directed growth. Psychodynamic therapy is also part of her practice and involves gently exploring how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence present-day thoughts, feelings, and relationships, which can be useful for those wanting to understand repeated life patterns. Trauma-focused elements are integrated when needed to attend to the aftereffects of traumatic events, helping people process distressing experiences and build coping strategies for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust methods over time so therapy stays relevant and responsive.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care across distances while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor support to each individual’s circumstances.
