About Aishwarya
Aishwarya Kulkarni brings four years of clinical experience to her work and practises as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Aishwarya aims to make therapy a simple place to start - an honest conversation where people can stop trying to hold everything together and begin to sort things out at their own pace. Her style is warm and collaborative.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be person-centred, with attention to emotions and the stories that shape current difficulties. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early experiences can influence present patterns, while using motivational techniques when people want to move towards change.
Aishwarya has experience helping with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, stress, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting. She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related struggles. She offers sessions in English, Hindi and Marathi, and is open to working with international clients.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, designed to fit different lifestyles and practical needs. Practical details are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Approaches you can use online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect and feel close to others. In online sessions this approach can help people understand patterns that affect trust and intimacy, and to practise different ways of relating within conversation.Client-centred therapy centres the person's own experience and pace. The counsellor offers active listening, empathy and reflection to help people make sense of feelings and decide next steps. Motivational interviewing is a practical, conversational method that helps when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure or stuck.
Finding the right way of working is a shared process. The counsellor will listen to your goals and preferences, and together you will try approaches that match your needs. That might mean focusing on feeling and connection, exploring past patterns, or using motivational techniques to support behaviour change.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations where seeing each other matters. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when a written format feels easier to use. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and other commitments.
