About Aishwarya
Aishwarya Kulkarni is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage trauma, relationship strain, addiction and mood difficulties. She practises in the United Kingdom and brings four years of clinical experience to her work. Aishwarya holds BACP registration, which indicates she meets the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's standards.
She speaks English, Hindi and Marathi and accepts international clients when that fits the person's needs. Aishwarya aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk without needing to be perfect.
Background and approach
She uses a client-centred style that keeps the person’s pace and priorities central. Her manner is warm and collaborative, with an emphasis on listening first and following what matters most to the person in front of her. In sessions she blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with attachment-informed and psychodynamic ideas.
That means she helps people look at how past experiences and relationships shape present reactions. She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to change behaviours like substance use or patterns that no longer serve them.
People come to Aishwarya for many reasons including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship or intimacy problems, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, compassion fatigue and issues related to abuse or domestic violence. Her sessions are practical and conversational.
She works with individuals to set achievable goals, try different ways of coping, and reflect on what helps most. Outside work she paints and practises Kathak dance, activities she says help her stay grounded and creative.

Approaches that suit online therapy and trauma work
Aishwarya draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing experiences and reduce their hold on daily life. That approach focuses on understanding traumatic memories and learning ways to manage strong reactions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people build more satisfying connections and a steadier sense of self. Finally, her client-centred way keeps the person's priorities at the heart of the work and supports pacing and choice throughout the process.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Aishwarya works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, adapting methods to a person's goals and comfort. She will check in regularly and change focus if something isn’t helping, so the plan evolves with the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit around life. Video allows more visual contact, phone can be simpler on low bandwidth, and text-based options suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats support flexibility for work, travel or caring responsibilities while keeping the therapeutic aims central.
