About Aaradhya

Aaradhya Srivastava is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic and client-centred approaches. She focuses on trauma, stress and anxiety, and helping people manage big life changes. Aaradhya offers a calm, steady presence for people who feel disconnected from themselves or others.

She keeps sessions simple and conversational. Aaradhya helps people talk through painful memories, confusing reactions, and patterns that keep showing up. The aim is to notice how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour, and to find ways to respond differently.

Background and approach

Her background includes work supporting survivors of sexual violence at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre. That experience shaped her interest in how trauma lives in the body and mind, and the importance of being heard and acknowledged. She brings that perspective into a gentle, relational way of working.

Aaradhya has three years' experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She trained at the University of Edinburgh and holds postgraduate counselling qualifications in interpersonal dialogue and counselling studies. In sessions she moves at each person’s pace.

People can expect curiosity, careful listening, and straightforward discussion about patterns, attachment, and coping. She also helps with related concerns such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties, caregiver stress and issues connected to family of origin. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and can be arranged online by following the platform’s matching and scheduling steps.

Psychodynamic and Client-Centred Options Online

Aaradhya draws mainly on psychodynamic and client-centred approaches. Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships. It helps when someone wants to understand recurring reactions or longstanding emotional patterns.

Client-centred therapy focuses on giving a warm, accepting space where a person’s thoughts and feelings are listened to without judgement. This approach can be useful for building self-esteem, processing painful memories, and exploring how you want to move forward.

Finding the right way of working is a shared task. Aaradhya will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt sessions as needed. Together you can decide whether to emphasise understanding past patterns, practical coping, or a mix of both.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat provides quicker check-ins, and messaging can suit short reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or daily life.
