Aishwarya Kulkarni , BACP

Aishwarya Kulkarni is a United Kingdom-based psychotherapist and a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She prefers meeting people in conversation rather than summing herself up on a page, and she recognises how important it is to get a sense of the person someone might turn to for support.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative, paced process rather than a quick fix. Her style is warm and accepting, offering a space where clients can set down what they have been carrying and explore uncertainty without having to hold everything together. Her practice is rooted in a person-centered foundation and draws on Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative and Systems approaches, and Transactional Analysis, with psychodynamic ideas woven in to gently examine how early life experiences may shape current patterns.

Alongside her clinical work, Aishwarya brings creative interests into her life: she paints with pastels and acrylics and practices Kathak dance. These activities help her stay connected to embodied feeling and the rhythms of life. If her approach resonates, she invites people to reach out when they feel ready to begin a conversation.

How Aishwarya integrates therapeutic approaches for online work

Aishwarya uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals and pace guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy and acceptance and is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general life stress.

She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore patterns that have developed over time. By gently examining recurring themes and early influences, this work can help people understand why certain reactions repeat and open up new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Trauma-focused therapy is another element of her practice when past traumatic experiences are at the core of a person’s difficulties. This approach offers targeted ways to address the impact of trauma and support recovery while attending to emotional safety and pacing.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Aishwarya collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as the work evolves.

Online therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from different locations, and choose the format that best fits personal comfort and daily life.
