Prakriti is a warm and compassionate psychologist dedicated to providing a supportive, non-judgemental, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to work towards meaningful change. Whether it is a client’s first experience of therapy or they have engaged in therapy before, Prakriti aims to create a safe environment where clients can explore their experiences at a pace that feels right for them.
Prakriti takes a client-centred and strengths-based approach to therapy, drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s individual needs, preferences, and goals. She has experience working with clients across the lifespan in university and private practice settings, supporting a range of presentations including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, emotion regulation difficulties, and adjustment to life changes.
“Our experiences can shape us without having to define us.”
