About Aishwarya

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression and codependency. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Marathi and international clients are accepted.

She uses a person-centred foundation alongside attachment-based, psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas. In practical terms that means she listens for the patterns that keep repeating and helps people notice how past relationships shape current reactions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and how small changes can reduce overwhelm and soften reactive responses.

Her style is collaborative and paced to the client. Therapy often includes looking at attachment and early experiences to understand emotional triggers. Motivational interviewing may be used when people want help with change, for example around addictive behaviours or setting boundaries.

Sessions may explore grief, intimacy difficulties, body image or struggles with parenting stress and carer strain. Aishwarya also works with communication problems, commitment concerns, and the stress that comes from living around another person’s moods or substance use. Work can include coping strategies for sleep, eating and day-to-day stress.

Outside therapy she paints and practices Kathak dance, activities she says help her remain grounded and connected to feeling. To start, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Aishwarya draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. That approach helps with difficulties around intimacy, codependency and anxious or avoidant responses in relationships. She also uses client-centred methods, which focus on listening closely and following what the client brings to each session rather than imposing a fixed agenda.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes, such as addressing addictive behaviours or strengthening boundaries. It involves gentle, goal-oriented conversations that explore ambivalence and build motivation for practical next steps. The therapist aims to work collaboratively with each person to find the best mix of approaches for their needs and goals.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and reducing travel time. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography did not specify formats; the therapist or service will list available options. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, have longer weekly sessions or arrange meetings with different time zones when working with international clients.
